Contemporary Art Fair
Listastofan | December 10 - 11 I 11:00 I Admission: Free!
Listastofan’s first ever Contemporary Art Fair is sure to
inspire. With works like STUDIOFRAE’s amazing body-part-
esque flower pots and Daniel Flammer’s abstract Architec-
tonic “mental landscapes,” this fair’s fare will not disappoint.
If you fall in love with something (and who wouldn’t), then
we have some good news: a selection of works will be up for
sale! So if you or a lucky loved one just can’t part with that
dangerously angular Tryggvi Einarsson bird sculpture, take
it from Listastofan into your stofan. To make the fair even
more exciting, Sacha & The Mermaids (aka Sacha Bernard-
son) will pay a visit to play on the 10th of December at 18:00,
an evening where everyone is happy—art and music (and art
music) consumers alike. SS/HJ
