‘Marginalia’ at Kjarvalsstaðir Flókagata 24 (H8) | 10:00-17:00 | 1,400 ISK This exhibit turns our heads towards the oftoverlooked edges of pages, specifically to the marginalia surrounding Iceland’s most revered artist, twentieth-century Icelandic painter Jóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval (or: Kjarval) and his works. The chaos, variety, and sheer number of the marginal works on display illustrate the restless and creative mind behind the method. Through exploring the doodles and sketches scrawled in his notebooks and other personal affects, we gain unique access to the discarding and reshaping of images and text over time. Don’t miss the chance to peek into this porthole of Kjarval’s artistic process. RTC

November 25 Pétur Ben & Snorri Helgason These two singer-songwriters may be a generation apart, and come from different musical backgrounds (rock and americana, respectively), but they are both known for putting on intimate heart-warming shows. Seeing them two together on the same night sounds like a recipe for greatness. Admission is 2,000 ISK. Húrra at 20:00
November 26 "I don't miss the future" The Nýló choir and Íslenski hljóðljóðakórinn ("The Icelandic sound-poetry-choir") join forces to premiere a performance featuring works by three disparate authors. This includes FET by visual artist Haraldur Jónsson, who frequently deals with perception, time and space; a piece by poet Lommi filled with intonation, meaning and meaninglessness, and text fragments inspired by Jóhannes Kjarval's works; and Edik-önd ("vinegar-duck"), a physical and aural sculpture by composer Hörður Bragason. Admission is 1,000 ISK. Kex Hostel at 20:00

They’re screening fifteen films at the affair, everything from WWII dramas (‘Rosa’) to cult comedy classics (‘Teddy Bear’). And as if that weren’t enough, they’re also hosting a workshop on cinematography by renowned filmmaker Julian Antonisz for those of you who want to get a little deeper into things. No Polish skills? No worries! The films are all subtitled in English, so the festival is accessible to everybody (who speaks either Polish or English)!
