Ongoing Iceland Expo Pavilion One component of the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai, a cube lined with canvas, projecting a video of Icelandic nature on each side and above the viewer, is now available for the first time to the Icelandic public. The fifteen-minute film was recorded at five angles, four of the RED cameras recording simultaneously, hooked onto planes and helicopters flying over the Icelandic wilderness. Runs through August 6
NÝLÓ Celebrates Its Papa Living Art Museum (NÝLO), Skúlagata 28 Opening: July 28, 14:00; runs until September 9 Free Nýlistasafnið, NÝLÓ, The Living Art Museum is paying tribute to one of the figures who made it alive in the first place! ‘Delicate Luggage II,’ a new exhibit, celebrates the work of Níels Hafstein, one of the museum’s founders and an overall prominent figure in the Icelandic art scene. In addition to the Living Art Museum, Níels founded and runs the Icelandic Folk and Outsider Art Museum near Akureyri. Spanning two decades of the Níels’ career, “Delicate Luggage II” juxtaposes his recent works with older ones in an attempt to give an overall view of the artist’s practise. Níels’ works are mostly sculptural; his materials are utilitarian and technological. He likes to work within meticulous structures, like a poet bound by metre; the poetry arises from the flourishes within the predetermined system. Stay tuned to the Living Art Museum’s website www.nylo.is for information on related events and lectures. EJP
