No Toe Phobia
'TÆR' by Hallveig Kristín
September 3 - 16 | Listastofan, Hringbraut 119 | Admission: Free!
Leave your toe phobia at home, and get ready to see some toes, released from imprisonment
and set free in works of art. ‘TÆR’, which literally means "TOES," is a solo exhibition by vi-
sual artist and performance designer Hallveig Kristín Eiríksdóttir. The artist wants everyone
to accept their toes, whatever shape they come in. She uses a mixture of oil, textiles and found
objects for her artwork. This little piggy went to the market, this little piggy went home, this
little piggy went to… Listastofan! And it was the happiest of all piggies. JP
Always On
'Reasons To Perform: Always, Always, Always: Look For The Answer'
September 10 at 15:00 - December 11 | The Living Art Museum, Völvufell, Reykjavík | Admission: Free!
‘Reasons To Perform’ is a mixed-media installation by Maja Bekan and Gunndís Ýr Finnboga-
dóttir, and questions the archives of the museum itself. Every piece of artwork at the exhibi-
tion, whether a sculpture, performance or text, is site-specific. The work is personal and in-
cludes a stream of consciousness from within the process. The aim of this show is to keep Nýló
at the top of performance art in Iceland. New minutes of measurements, disturbance, rhythm
and movement will be introduced into the archive and at the same time, performed by the mu-
seum staff and visitors during the opening hours of the exhibition. JP
