Twenty Years of Kling & Bang
May 19 & 20 17:00
Kling & Bang, Marshall House
Has it been 20 years already? Has
it only been 20 years!? It’s some-
how hard to believe that the iconic,
forward-thinking art gallery Kling
& Bang is so young and that we’re
celebrating its “legal age” now. Hav-
ing started out on Hverfisgata – in
a dearly departed edifice adorned
with a giant sparkling outside wall
art – and relocated to Grandi, their
modus operandi hasn’t changed
from showing cutting-edge work
from exceptional artists. This two-
day performance extravaganza will
feature 10 incredible performances
by some of their faves and besties,
and is guaranteed to be an unfor-
gettable party. Here’s to (at least) 20
more! RX
Art Without Borders Sale Exhibition
Runs until May 27
Gallery Fold
Art, by definition, should have no
borders. But as we all know, the
institutional powers-that-be have
created them anyway. The wonder-
ful festival Art Without Borders (List
Án Landamæra) has been breaking
down barriers since 2003, platform-
ing art by people with disabilities of
all sorts and changing the discourse
around participation in the arts. This
group exhibition at Gallery Fold will
feature works by many of the fes-
tival’s foremost artists, all of which
will be for sale. Accessibility at the
gallery is decent and all are wel-
come. RX
Elli Egilsson & Egill Eðvarðsson –
SAMMÁLA
Runs until May 31
Gallery Port
Making art with other artists is both
enriching and frustrating, wouldn’t
you agree? Working with your par-
ent or child is as well, wouldn’t you
agree? Agreeing with your parent or
child when you’re working on art to-
gether is, well… you see where we’re
going with this. In the exhibition
SAMMÁLA, meaning “agree”, father
and son artists Elli Egilsson and
Egill Eðvarðsson display works they
made together by sending them
back and forth between Las Vegas
and Reykjavík, where each lives.
Some rules applied, but otherwise
it was open season and turned out
something quite special. Go check it
out and see if you agree. RX
