Opens June 7 Runs until June 30 Iceland Academy of Arts Everything Is Good Though Nothing Is Gylfi Freeland Sigurðsson opens an ex- hibit in Kaffistofan, the student gallery of the academy, one that focuses on drawings, text works and symbols. Opens June 7 Runs until June 8 Kunstschlager Þorgerður Þórhallsdóttir’s first exhibit uses the process of preservation to examine how events are documented, using footage of her grandfather, pia- nist Gísli Magnússon, as an example. The home recording of him rehearsing Beethoven’s 4th Piano Concerto is intertwined with his performance with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, creating a new narrative that elevates the creative process alongside the finished product. Opens June 14 Runs until June 28 The National Museum Land of the Sodium Sun Photographer Stuart Richardson exhibits a series of photographs on Icelandic streetlights, their locales and the weather. Opens June 14 Runs until December 31 Þoka KEEP FROZEN - Aldís Snorradóttir Aldís Snorradóttir’s exhibit is the second part of a mixed-media instal- lation and an art work in process. It is a continuation of an exhibition series that started with KEEP FROZEN part zero, a single-channel video piece that has travelled the world, and KEEP FROZEN part one, an installation ex- hibited at De-Construct in New York. The project also consists of a film and a book about harbour experiences. Opens May 31 Runs Until June 29 Ongoing Árbær Museum A guided tour in English through this open air museum, consisting of 20 buildings happens daily at 13:00. Admission 1,100 ISK. On permanent view Anarkía Word Artist Finnbogi Helgason uses writing and words to create his paintings, words that represent the elements that compose human beings—Hydro- gen, Nitrogen, Carbon and the like. The words may not be apparent to the casual viewer, but they make up the paintings, and the exhibition as a whole is a model study using words. Runs until June 1 Ellipse "Art is not the perfect but art is the eternal quest, which is the purpose of the creative process," says artist Kristín Tryggvadóttir. Her exhibition attempts to engage the viewer with the forces of nature and the eternal circulation of a continuous displace- ment of matter which does not disap- pear but is transformed. All matter has its own space, visible or invisible, and the smallest particle moved away, leaves behind an empty space. Runs until June 1 ASÍ Art Gallery Eygló Harðardóttir's sculpture exhibit sits in ASÍ's garden and is without a title. This is the second time that Eygló presents an outdoor sculpture like this at ASÍ. Runs until August 9 The Culture House An exhibit showcasing principal me- dieval manuscripts, such as Codices Regii of the Poetic Edda, Prose Edda, law codices and Christian works, and the Icelandic Sagas. On permanent view Child of Hope - Youth and Jón Sig- urðsson Exploring the life of Icelandic national hero Jón Sigurðsson, made particu- larly accessible to children, families and school groups. On permanent view Millennium - Phase One A selection of pieces from the the Na- tional Gallery's collection, the exhibit includes a variety of works by Icelan- dic artists from the last two centuries. On permanent view The Library Room The old reading room of the National Library displays books of Icelandic cultural history from the 16th century to the present day. On permanent view The Einar Jónsson Museum The museum contains close to 300 artworks including a beautiful garden with 26 bronze casts of the artist's sculptures. On permanent view Gallery Fold Nikhil Nathan Kirsh British artist Nikhil Nathan Kirsh show- cases a sculpture made in collabora- tion with Ragnhild Stefánsdóttir, as well as broken and cracked depictions of various parts of the body. Runs until June 17 Hafnarborg Fancy Cake in the Sun The exhibit displays selected graphic prints and artistic books by Swiss art- ist Dieter Roth, one of the most impor- tant post-war European artists. During his career he worked with various mediums but the exhibition focuses on his contributions to the print world. It is divided into eleven periods covering Dieter's artwork from 1957 to 1993. Runs until June 9 Lusus Naturae A 3D Installation featuring dream- like and beautiful experiments with time and events through the medium of music, moving pictures and live performance by Ólöf Nordal, Gunnar Karlsson and Þuriður Jónsdóttir. Runs until June 17 Hverfisgallerí Mapping A Piece Of Land Hildur Bjarnadóttir explores the concept of painting through weaving in her exhibition. She produced her artwork using two methods: colouring the thread with acrylic paint before it is woven, and experimenting with natu- ral plant colouring. Each plant is con- nected to a specific place, carrying a sort of genetic code about its location as well as the people and fauna that surrounded it. Runs until June 28 i8 Gallery The series `1s & 0s' (2011-2014) by Ignacio Uriarte comprises 128 sheets of A4 paper, covered in typewritten 1s and 0s. Each sheet is typed on a dif- ferent typewriter, which produces very different results. Runs until June 2 The Icelandic Phallological Museum The museum contains a collection of more than two hundred and fifteen penises and penile parts belonging to almost all the land and sea mammals that can be found in Iceland. On permanent view Kling & Bang The Five Live Lo-Fi In the mysterious and ambiguous zone of the creative process, a piece is composed of four different parts, each representing different types of art. Four openings take place over two weeks. Each space, performance and installation is like a voice. In the fourth and last opening the piece reaches its peak, the voices in their spatial, audio, visual and physical surroundings come together and create a magnifi- cent harmony. Runs until June 22 Kópavogur Art Museum 20th Anniversary Exhibition Kópavogur Art Museum is curating a new exhibition consisting of works from the museum’s permanent collec- tion and from the private collections of Þorvaldur Guðmundsson and Ingib- jörg Guðmundsóttir.

Horses may have been an essential part of life just a century ago, but rarely were they as intertwined into local culture as they were in Iceland where they were first venerated in Norse mythology. Though they are often small compared to other breeds and don’t quite live up to their size in the mythic tales (much like film stars off-screen), their role in Iceland’s culture matches up in importance. They were tamed for work, pleasure, and represent Iceland’s tie to nature. Tölt is a gait unique to the Icelandic horse, and the TÖLT exhibit celebrates this animal with 13 contemporary artists conveying their own take on the beasts. AH The Tölt of the Horse Tölt
