Picker Of The Issue
Arnljótur Sigurðsson
Arnljótur Sigurðsson is a bit of a shapeshifter. He’s been a
fixture in Reykjavík’s music and arts community for years,
and has lent his talents to projects that traverse genres. Some
might know him as part of the reggae group Ojba Rasta, while
others might know him for solo projects that have delved into
more electronic and experimental territory. More recently,
Arnljótur has been assisting with events at Mengi, one of the
city’s most exciting arts venues, which he says he does out of
a “passionate love for the place.” On June 25, Arnljótur will be
performing at Hringrás, a festival held in an old slaughter-
house in Egilsstaðir. When asked what he thinks is new and
exciting in the Reykjavík art world, Arnljótur suggests that
people check out smaller galleries such as Ekkisens and Har-
binger. “All these little flowers here in Reykjavík,” he says, “I
think that they seem to come up with surprises.” But for art-
ists and art lovers alike, Arnljótur has two words of wisdom:
“Take chances and be surprised.” IW
