Art Exhibit
Art On The Fringe
This exhibit turns our heads towards the oft-
overlooked edges of pages, specifically to the
marginalia surrounding Iceland’s most revered
artist, twentieth-century Icelandic painter
Jóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval (or: Kjarval)
and his works. The chaos, variety, and sheer
number of the marginal works on display il-
lustrate the restless and creative mind behind
the method. Through exploring the doodles and
sketches scrawled in his notebooks and other
personal affects, we gain unique access to the
discarding and reshaping of images and text
over time. Don’t miss the chance to peek into
this porthole of Kjarval’s artistic process. RTC

Three Weeks
The Grapevine picks the events, places and things to check out in the next three weeks
12-16
November
Cinema
Unpronouncable Films
You’ll Łove
The Treasure of Polish Cinema is a three-day
festival that aims to highlight the best of Polish
cinema. They’re screening fifteen films at the
affair, everything from WWII dramas (‘Rosa’)
to cult comedy classics (‘Teddy Bear’). And
as if that weren’t enough, they’re also hosting
a workshop on cinematography by renowned
filmmaker Julian Antonisz for those of you
who want to get a little deeper into things.
No Polish skills? No worries! The films are all
subtitled in English, so the festival is acces-
sible to everybody (who speaks either Polish or
English)! Admission is free to both the films and
the workshop, but seating is limited. You should
go. AJdR
Treasure of Polish Cinema Festival

GoldenGang get together and perform a free
comedy set in English for expats and locals alike.
Admission is always free.
Gaukurinn at 20:30
Every Monday
CeaseTone / Wendy Rule
Folky, dreamy, indie, lively—these are all words you
can use to describe the Icelandic CeaseTone,
who are joined by Wendy Rule, an Australian
songstress who weaves music, mythology and
ritual together into a magical dark ambient show.

November 18
Pétur Ben & Snorri Helgason
These two singer-songwriters may be a
generation apart, and come from different musical
backgrounds (rock and americana, respectively),
but they are both known for putting on intimate
heart-warming shows. Seeing them two together
on the same night sounds like a recipe for
greatness. Admission is 2,000 ISK.
Húrra at 20:00

Fuzz Fest
The annual stoner, doom, sludge, and old-
school rock concert of the year is here yet

Churchhouse Creepers, Electric Space
Orchestra, O'Bannion, and Ashton Cut. Don't be
shy, it'll be a ball! And entry is free, too!

"I don't miss the future"
The Nýló choir and Íslenski hljóðljóðakórinn
("The Icelandic sound-poetry-choir") join forces
to premiere a performance featuring works by
three disparate authors. This includes FET by
visual artist Haraldur Jónsson, who frequently
deals with perception, time and space; a piece by
poet Lommi filled with intonation, meaning and
meaninglessness, and text fragments inspired
by Jóhannes Kjarval's works; and Edik-önd
("vinegar-duck"), a physical and aural sculpture by
composer Hörður Bragason. Admission is 1,000
ISK.
