Hot Eskimos
Icelandic jazz trio Hot Eskimos are up to some exciting
things as they put their own spin on classic rock and
pop songs. At Harpa they'll be joined by Swedish

of bopping tunes. Oh my!

'Century Of The Child'
The experience of being a child sure has changed over
the past century. From cultural changes to changes in

role in the shifting landscape of childhood in Nordic
countries. The latest exhibition at Nordic House shines
a light on these evolutions with an interactive display
for all ages.
Nordic House, Sturlugata 5 (H2). Admission: 1,000 ISK

EXHIBITION
‘The World Is
An Enigma’
A Mystery Wrapped In An Artwork
Verksmiðjan at Hjalteyri | Free!
Pierre Coulibeuf, a French visual artist and
filmmaker, exhibits four magical video
installations focusing on the often opaque
relationship between an individual and the
world. The video pieces, made between 1995
and 2008, are inspired by various artistic
collaborators, in fields from choreography
and theatre to photography. Each tries to
take parts from reality and put them back
together in a new shape, to yield new in-
sight. HBG
