Runs until October 4 i8 Gallery Revelation This photo exhibition by Hrafnkell Sigurdsson explores themes relating to nature, the man-made, the sublime, culture and consumer society.

Runs until October 11 The Icelandic Phallological Museum The museum contains a collection of more than 215 penises and penile parts belonging to almost all the land and sea mammals that can be found in Iceland.

Runs until October 2 Museum of Design and Applied Art Are you ready, Madam President?

Artist Curver’s new video exhibit is all about altering our perception of reality by experimenting with contrasts, working the grayscale in a humorously banal and playful way. This notion is a reoccurring theme in Curver’s art as he has previously presented works where he transformed the Living Arts Museum into a children’s playground, held a yard sale in the National Museum of Iceland and sold puffin pizza at the rurally isolated lighthouse of Bjargartangaviti. By using a range of mediums such as videos, installations, performances and relational aesthetics, he’s examined ideas of self, popular culture and society. SV
