An almost-aban- doned fishing village on the wild Strandir coast, it was once home to hundreds of fishermen and workers who lived in a few buildings scattered around a massive, hulking fish processing factory. When the herring left, so did the people; today, the workers’ quar- ters have been repurposed into a cosy family-run hotel. The factory has become a crumbling laby- rinth of rusting machinery, a small museum, and— each summer—a contemporary art exhibition. A monument to a herring-era gold rush, the factory is also a roadmap of how such build- ings can be used to foster com- munity, culture and tourism—and the art on display is worth the trip alone. This year, the exhibit will also be in Þing- eyri. JR Fingered Eyed Until August 10th - i8 Gallery B. Ingrid Olson’s genre-defying ex- hibition considers the nature of the dual through sym- metry, form and function.

Confused? Go check it out for more info. FR The One And Only Body Of The Hum & Lego Flamb Until June 21st - Harbinger Using voice, storytelling, mu- sic, images and material traces, Bergur Thomas Anderson’s ex- hibition looks at the dynamics of visibility and per- formance.
