Gustukaverk – Þrándur Þórarinsson June 16 - July 16, Gallerí Port After scavenging Icelandic litera- ture for compel- ling characters and re-imagining Reykjavík as a proper “Scan- dinavian city,” Þrándur has now turned to realism. But don’t worry—he hasn’t abandoned his sense of humour. Memorable shad- ows of life play a part in this col- lection of works, each with its own specific narrative.
