The presentation is open to all university students at all levels of higher education. Everyone is welcome!
Ásmundarsafn
In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. Sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson worked in different materials. He carved wood, cut stone, shaped clay, transferred forms to concrete, in addition to working with iron and found materials. Many of his best-known works are enlarged and placed in public space around the city. His works were created in relentless experimentation in the studio where he allowed material, content and space work hand in hand. The sculptures are either figurative or abstract, as Ásmundur went through various periods in his artistic creation. In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. We get a sense of what happened behind the scenes in the artist's search for the appropriate completion for the ideas that emerged.

Hotel Reykjavik Grand
The Nordic countries have achieved significant success in safeguarding equality and the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, but how does this align with algorithms that aim solely to keep us glued to our screens, even if it leads to polarization and backlash? What if an innocent click on just one video shapes all content that young users encounter in the future? NORDREF, Transfeminiinit, Samtökin 78, and the Violence Prevention School present new Nordic research findings on how social media algorithms affect young people regarding trans issues and invite guests to answer the question: Can algorithms hate? In times of artificial intelligence, information chaos, and propaganda, who controls what we think? The President of Iceland, Halla Tómasdóttir, will deliver the opening address. Other speakers include the head of policy at TikTok, the equality ombudsman in Finland, the director of Samtökin 78, the head of policy at SASHA SafeShare, the director of Transfeminiinit, an expert from Netvís, and more. Location: Háteigur, Grand Hotel Reykjavík, Sigtúni. The program will be conducted in English.

Árbær Open Air Museum
Árbær was an established farm well into the 20th century, and the museum opened there in 1957. Árbær is now an open-air museum with more than 20 buildings which form a town square, a village and a farm. Most of the buildings have been relocated from central Reykjavik. The Museum seeks to give an idea of Reykjavik's architecture and way of life in the 19th and 20th centuries. Each house contains an independent historical exhibition or a typical home from a specific period. The museum also houses old-fashioned workshops on typical facilities, technology, and tools.

Landnámssetrið í Borgarnesi
SALKA - love and death "…it is for this moment that I have lived." In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Landnám Center of Iceland in Borgarnes, Unnur Ösp Stefánsdóttir will compose and perform a new play based on the novel by Halldór Laxness, Sölku Völku, at the Story Loft of the center. The founders of the Landnám Center, Kjartan Ragnarsson and Sigríður Margrét Guðmundsdóttir, previously staged a hugely popular production of Halldór Laxness's Independent People at the National Theatre in 1999, and the connection between the National Theatre and the center has been strong over the years. "How should people live in such a place? And how should people die?" Salka Valka is one of Halldór Laxness's most memorable characters. In the performance, Unnur Ösp will weave through her story, surrounded by music from Halldór Laxness's record collection, which inspired the writing of the book. In close proximity to the audience, Unnur will evoke the grand characters of the story, armed with Laxness's magnificent text. Through dangerous yet captivating relationships between the characters, Unnur intends to search for Salka within herself and Salka within us all. "…but two souls can be so distant from each other even though they once lived in the same body." Actor and author of the play: Unnur Ösp Stefánsdóttir. The performance is based on the first part of Sölku Völku by Halldór Laxness, Þú vínviður hreini. Production by the Landnám Center of Iceland in Borgarnes in collaboration with the National Theatre. Premiere at the Story Loft in February 2026.

What comes off the wooden plate onto the paper can be difficult to control, but I aim for the handmade and imperfect. I view the wooden plates as independent works but use the paper to achieve depth and take away the hand control. These works that I present here...

Do you feel like you have lost control over your digital life? You want to make changes, but is it all too overwhelming? What if your library could help you understand the invisible systems shaping your digital life and help you reclaim time and agency over your personal data? Bring your phone, your questions, expertise, and frustrations and join our soft network of weekly gatherings where learning happens collectively and reciprocally; a format where participants share experiences and knowledge with one another alongside hired experts in phone security and textile artists experimenting with phone sleeping bags. Together, we’ll look at privacy settings, app permissions, and the hidden layers of your digital identity—like inferred interests, behavioral categories, and how platforms interpret you. We will help you adjust what you use, share, see, and control. We will also sew customized phone sleeping bags to help us choose when to connect and when to let our phones rest so we can do other precious things. So, bring a fabric you have good memories with for the visible outer layer of your phone sleeping bag; we will provide the signal-blocking Faraday fabric that lines the inside of the sleeping bag! No prior sewing experience is needed. Every Wednesday from 21st October to 9th December at 16:00-18:00, in the Reykjavik City Library Grófin - 5th floor. Free and open to all. No need to sign up, just show up! More information: Martyna Karolina Daniel Project Manager - Equity and Community Engagement martyna.karolina.daniel@reykjavik.is

The exhibition DRAWN BY WOMEN: Pioneers in architecture offers insight into ongoing research regarding the first women to qualify as architects between 1940 and 1980. While most were from Iceland, some had roots elsewhere; many returned home after their studies, whereas others chose to pursue their careers abroad. Drawing on information from the 1997 Arkitektatal (Architects’ Register) - alongside selection of drawings, photographs, and working documents - the exhibition provides a glimpse into the life's work and creative output of these women. Additionally, video recordings feature several of them sharing their perspectives, experiences, and passion for using architecture to create a better society. It is evident that their influence and professional ambition have left a lasting mark on Icelandic architecture, spanning both urban planning and building design, while also extending far beyond Iceland’s borders. Examples include progressive school buildings in France and social housing projects in Sweden, some of which are such significant landmarks that they have been granted protected status for their cultural and historical value. Their buildings and projects are found even further afield, including in the United States and Italy, as well as at the heart of Nordic cooperation in the Faroe Islands, in the restoration of dozens of castles in Scotland, and in urban planning initiatives in Mozambique. Visitors have the opportunity to contribute information, stories, or comments, thereby directly participating in expanding the database and further connecting the threads. The exhibition runs until the end of the year at Arctic Space, Óðinsgata 7 in Reykjavik. Hours: Mon, Wed, Fri: 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Sat 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM. Also open on request by emailing info@arcticspace.is.

Join us in making Icelandic language rhymes and resonate with other languages, create phonetic ties and meaning beyond linguistic borders, and deepen our emotional connection with Icelandic in the process. Are you using multiple languages daily in Iceland? Do you know a language that you don’t have the chance to use often? Do you know only a few words in forgotten or made-up languages that you cherish and are very much alive in your mind? In this fusion poetry workshop, we will select words that we love, in Icelandic or other languages, and explore their poetic meaning to us. At the end of each session, for those willing, there will be space for participants to share and test their ongoing work in a cosy and safe setting. All levels of Icelandic are welcome, from curious beginners to seasoned users and native speakers. The aim is to break barriers between languages, let your mind connect words from different lands, fuse poetic formats and ideas, and play towards rendering your authentic - and poetic - experience of the Icelandic language, no matter how many words you know. Marjón is an immigrant writer and poet living between languages in Iceland. She is using scraps of Icelandic, English, French and Spanish to create sharp fusion poetry on the migrant experience. She won the Reykjavík Poetry Slam competition 2025 with "Ég neita", using simple Icelandic words to describe linguistic confusion and isolation. This project is part of the samljóða - writing workshop series and the samvera project which is co-funded by the immigration fund. Free, no sign up, just show up!

✨ REYKJAVÍK DANCE FESTIVAL 2026 ✨ WE ALL FEEL IT... The Reykjavík Dance Festival will take place from November 11 to 15, filling the city with dance and performing arts. The festival has established itself as one of the most exciting and progressive events in the performing arts scene in Iceland. "These robots do not feel, but we feel for them." Kate Darling At this year's Reykjavík Dance Festival, you will be invited into a room where you will meet a robotic dog. We know that machines do not feel. But we cannot help but feel for them. We are emotional machines. In the piece CLAP & SLAP, Agnietė Lisičkinaitė from Lithuania and Igor Shugaleev from Belarus confront guilt and responsibility in the shadow of Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine. They strike their own bodies until the skin reddens. We are asked to clap in rhythm. They strike. We clap. The blows do not crash into our bodies. But we feel them on our skin. In EPICLOGUE, two bodies surrender themselves to each other. Through trust, they inch closer to what is physically and emotionally impossible. How do we experience our own longing for closeness when we witness such intimate acts? Movement creates feelings. Feelings move us. We move each other. Whatever it is that you feel – take it with you. We do not all feel the same. But we all feel something. WE ALL FEEL IT. NOTE: Dance cards will go on sale shortly.

You are warmly welcome to celebrate the release of Elías Rúnar's latest book, Fyrsta skiptið, and the author's birthday with us at the Sölku bookstore on Hverfisgata on Wednesday, November 11th at 5 PM. Light refreshments will be served, and the book will, of course, be available at a special release price. We look forward to seeing you! About Fyrsta skiptið: When I looked in the mirror that morning, I was the same as before. Nothing had changed. I had the same hair, the same face, the same eyes... and yet, maybe not the same eyes – because they saw something different. They saw Elías. Fyrsta skiptið is a story about the joy of finding one's place in one's own body. Elías is a twenty-eight-year-old artist who has never seen himself in the mirror. He embarks on a journey where he confronts shame, overcomes ingrained prejudices, comes out to himself, changes his name and pronouns, and learns to speak about himself in a new way. Fyrsta skiptið is a graphic novel about the joy of finding one's place in one's own body. The path to this is not without challenges, but Elías illustrates how it is possible to look in the mirror and see oneself for the first time.

The cost of building software is collapsing and a weekend prototype can now rival a funded product. Yes or no? Markets flood with lookalikes, buyers can’t tell them apart and whoever sells hardest wins. Billing by the hour or per seat makes less sense and nobody knows what to charge for instead. Agree? Disagree? Has the value just moved? Does the best product still win or does it all come down to brand, distribution, data, relationships and taste? Should we charge for outcomes instead of hours and how do we measure good work now? Is any company in the industry safe? Who will survive the race to the bottom? Too dramatic? Or not dramatic enough💀? ➡️Join SVEF and Aranja for a heated fishbowl discussion on the future of our industry. Everyone is welcome to sit back and listen, but we strongly encourage you to join the debate – and have some FUN with it! ➡️No registration needed. Don’t bring slides, just your opinions – and please: Do not leave your hot takes at home.

Where: In the hall of the sailing club Ýmis at Naustavör 14 When: Wednesday, November 11 at 17:00. Gunnarshólmi - what is the matter about Kópavogsbær is currently seeking ways to enable the company Aflvaka to build around 5,500 apartments and 1,200 rehabilitation and nursing spaces on the outskirts of the town, outside the growth boundaries of the capital area, associated with the farms Gunnarshólma and Geirland. It is expected that around 10,000 residents could live there in their third life stage. If these plans come to fruition, they are expected to have a significant impact on the composition of the town's population, land use, water protection, transportation, and the operation of the municipality. The municipality has signed a letter of intent, but it is safe to say that these plans have sparked discussion and are controversial. Representatives from Aflvaka and the engineering firm VSÓ will present the matter and answer questions from attendees. Borgarlínan - what’s the news? Construction is in full swing on the bridge over Fossvog, and it is expected to open in 2 years. What is the current status? How will Borgarlínan get through Kársnesið and up to Hamraborg? Representatives from Betri Samgöngur and Almenningssamgöngur in the capital area ohf. (ASHB) will report on the status, look into the future, and answer questions. The meeting is open to everyone.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, but where are all the girls? Come to the evening workshop and get support, motivation, and inspiration to get started with artificial intelligence. Marín and Anna Margrét both work at Almannarómur - the center for artificial intelligence and language technology. They want to see more girls enter the world of artificial intelligence and start utilizing the technology for real. This will create increased empowerment, diversity, and feminine energy that makes everything more fun and better. This is a workshop for girls, held by girls, focusing on both the benefits and enjoyment of the technology. Presentation Anna Margrét Gunnarsdóttir Agile communication, rich insight, solution-oriented thinking, and odorless farts: The "feminine" leadership traits that will be an advantage in the future What has sometimes been called soft skills are often characteristic of female leaders. Likewise, it has been common to exalt the opposite, the hard and "masculine," which characterizes good management. Now that artificial intelligence has dramatically changed our tasks and management in a short time, the rules of the game are entirely different. This presentation will cover the key tools that female and non-binary leaders already possess, which can be used to create leadership roles in a new reality where artificial intelligence is the focal point. At the same time, previously closed tech communities are opening up, and a vast ocean of opportunities is flowing out. Those who fish, row! Workshop Marín Jónsdóttir What? • General introduction to artificial intelligence and the main developments happening today. • Discussion on responsible and safe use of artificial intelligence. • Introduction to product thinking. • Presentation of agents and their use cases. • Introduction to programming with artificial intelligence and use cases for such development. • Participants will receive templates to get started. • Participants will develop their own solutions with assistance from the instructor. • The workshop will conclude with a presentation (either from the instructor or the participants themselves if they are up for it) of the group's ideas to provide inspiration. Who is it for? Women and non-binary individuals who want to learn how to use technology to solve real problems. Outcome Participants will have set up an agent or developed their own tool by the end of the workshop and walk away with templates to continue their learning independently. What do you need to know, prepare, or bring? No experience with artificial intelligence is necessary, but a subscription to a language model like Claude, ChatGPT, or a

Lífsgæðasetur St. Jó
Life experiences can have a significant impact on our well-being, both physically and emotionally. Grief, stress, and difficult experiences can manifest in muscle tension, altered breathing, or restlessness, to name a few. In the course "The Body Remembers Nothing," we take the time to pause, listen to the body, and approach our own well-being with softness and gentleness. Grief does not only reside in the heart and mind; it lives in the body. It settles in areas such as the shoulders, chest, stomach, lower back, hips, nervous system, and in the breath, which becomes shallow when the pain is overwhelming. This course is designed as a safe and warm space where you can come exactly as you are, with all the stories you carry. Through gentle stretches, breathing, simple meditations, and deep relaxation, we work on: - Calming the nervous system - Releasing tension and blockages that have accumulated due to trauma/traumas - Softening a body that has carried stress for too long - Creating space for calm, warmth, and lighter, deeper breathing - Exploring ways to meet the traumas that reside in the body with softness and gentleness. These are not difficult movements or demanding yoga poses; this is a gentle, nurturing gathering that supports the body and soul in releasing and letting go. You are never forced forward; you go where you feel comfortable. Who is the course for?

Iris is the owner of Yogahúsið and has been teaching yoga since 2011. Iris has years of experience working with the bereaved as a group leader at Sorgarmisöðin and served on the board of Nýrrar dögunnar.

The next Edda Evening will be on Wednesday, November 11th at 8 PM, and the theme of the evening is a very young Edda poem, Hrafnagaldur Óðins. Hrafnagaldur Óðins, also known as Forspjallsljóð, is an Edda poem that tells the story of when Odin sends Heimdall, Loki, and Bragi to seek answers from Iðunn. The poem is preserved in paper manuscripts from the 17th century and later, but it is not included in the Konungsbók of Edda poems. It was first printed in 1787 but has often been excluded from editions of Edda poems due to doubts about its age. The poem is generally dated to the early 17th century based on linguistic and metrical arguments. Dr. Teresa Dröfn Freysdóttir Njarðvík will lead the discussion. Everyone is welcome!

The Unbearable Lightness of Football Þorleifur Aron, called Doddi, a divorced man in his fifties, and Óli Gunnar, his younger brother, meet to watch all the Manchester United games together on the sofa. The games of the English team are the constant that gives their lives color, but also the time they can spend together and find peace from the hustle and bustle of the day. During the game, their emotions run wild, and through the game, they find an outlet, while their excessive drinking is justified. On this particular Saturday, as the play unfolds, Benedikt Hafberg, the new boyfriend of Doddi's ex-wife, along with the singer Valdimar, unexpectedly joins the group to watch the game. The tension on and off the field increases accordingly, leading to an unpredictable series of events that spans 90 minutes. Just like on the field, anything can happen in the world of football. The Unbearable Lightness of Football is a show for everyone who loves and hates football.

In Björtuloft. The Orchestra will perform a new piano concerto by Haukur Gröndal, specially composed for pianist Davíð Þór and the ensemble. The work is built around an exciting interplay between a composed musical framework and the freedom of improvisation, allowing the music to take unexpected turns and evolve in real time. The concerto brings together a wide range of sonic colors, composed sections, and free improvisation, creating an ever-changing musical landscape where each moment can open the door to new possibilities. The musicians are given ample space to respond to one another and shape the progression of the music collectively. The concerto is therefore not simply a performance of a predetermined composition, but a living dialogue between the composer, the performers, and the music itself. On

Lystigarðurinn, Akureyri
Date with the Past Outdoor Photography Exhibition Photography Exhibition It has been a long-standing tradition for us ÁLFkonur to set up a new photography exhibition in the Botanical Garden at the beginning of summer. For each exhibition, we choose a specific theme to work with. This time, we decided to dedicate the exhibition to the 100th anniversary of the Icelandic Photographers' Association, which is celebrated this year. The founding meeting was held in 1926, attended by 18 photographers, most of whom worked in Reykjavík. It is worth noting that among this group were 3 women. The idea arose to work with 100-year-old photographs from Akureyri that are preserved at the Cultural Heritage Museum. We each worked individually and tried to find the spot where the photographer might have stood when taking the picture. Once the location was found, we set ourselves up with our cameras and snapped away. A lot has changed in the town over the past 100 years, and it was often very difficult to capture good images as buildings or tree growth obscured the view. It was therefore pleasantly surprising to see that even though much has changed, there are still buildings that can be seen in these old photographs. ÁLFkonur are in their 16th year of operation, and this exhibition is the fifteenth in the Botanical Garden. The participants this time are: Agnes H. Skúladóttir, Berglind H. Helgadóttir, Guðný Pálína Sæmundsdóttir, Gunnlaug E. Friðriksdóttir, Hafdís G. Pálsdóttir, Halla S. Gunnlaugsdóttir, Helga H. Gunnlaugsdóttir, Hrefna Harðardóttir, Inga Dagný Eydal, Kristjana Agnarsdóttir, Lilja Guðmundsdóttir, Linda Ólafsdóttir, Margrét Elfa Jónsdóttir. We warmly invite you to enjoy and hope you have fun going on this "Date with the Past" with us. The exhibition runs until spring 2027 and is open during the opening hours of the Botanical Garden in Akureyri. The event calendar for Art Summer can be found at listasumar.is.

Innovation House Reykjavik
What if you could delegate artificial intelligence tasks, connect it to your data, and let it assist you with your work from start to finish? In this practical and lively lecture, Stefán Atli Rúnarsson demonstrates how artificial intelligence is evolving from a chatbot that answers questions into a digital collaborator that can handle tasks in multiple steps. Through live demonstrations and examples from daily work, the lecture will cover how to transform emails into prioritized task lists and responses, process documents and spreadsheets, interpret images, and prepare meetings. It will also show how connections to email, calendars, and other tools can make artificial intelligence an even more powerful assistant. Participants will gain insight into AI agents that can perform tasks in browsers and software and manage follow-ups between conversations. Additionally, the discussion will address clear instructions, access to data, and when human judgment and approval need to come into play. The goal is for each participant to leave with a clear idea of one repetitive task that can be simplified with artificial intelligence starting the very next day. The lecture is suitable for managers, project managers, and anyone looking to save time, simplify work, and utilize artificial intelligence purposefully in their roles. The talk will be held at Innovation House, Eiðistorg in Seltjarnarnes on Thursday, November 12, 2026, but it is also possible to attend via streaming through Teams (see link below). To find the room, enter Eiðistorg next to Hagkaup, and go up to the 2nd floor. Directly opposite the Seltjarnarnes Library, there is an open door to the 3rd floor where the meeting will take place. About the speaker Stefán Atli Rúnarsson is a lecturer and consultant specializing in the practical use of artificial intelligence. He has taught thousands of Icelanders how to utilize artificial intelligence and has conducted courses and lectures for numerous Icelandic companies and institutions. Stefán is an educated business professional with a background in marketing, technology, and communication. He places a special emphasis on making artificial intelligence accessible, enjoyable, and above all, useful in daily work. For more information: https://chatgptnamskeid.is

Louise Harris's exhibition "12 Women" opens at Mokka on October 29 and runs until December 2. In previous exhibitions, I have addressed paintings in relation to my place in the world. Am I a foreign woman painting with watercolors, or am I an Icelandic woman? For some reason, this question has been at the forefront of my mind as I continue to paint and paint. And sometimes I feel like I should stop painting. I find myself a project that affects the painting, while it distracts me from it or simply gives me space to gain a little distance and even perspective, if that is something I could ever understand. Louise Harris is a painter currently working with watercolors and textiles. She holds a BFA from the University of Oxford and an MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London. She has exhibited in Iceland, Finland, Great Britain, Japan, and Canada. She was born on the Isle of Sheppey, grew up in southern England, and now lives and works in Reykjavík. The exhibition is a sales exhibition and runs until December 2, open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM. Everyone is welcome!

Norræna húsið
Architecture is all around us, even if we do not always notice it. The buildings and spaces we inhabit shape our daily lives, how we move, play, work, and interact with one another. But how does design and architecture affect us? What kind of homes do we want to live in? Do we need different spaces for different activities, and what makes a good space? In Alvar Aalto’s designs, human beings were always the priority, and children were no exception. In his plans and layouts, Aalto took children and their needs into account. His work reminds us that children have a right to a good daily life and an environment that considers their needs. The exhibition is based on the book Kurjen Kartta (Crane’s Map – Adventure in the Forest of the Aaltos) by Reetta Niemelä, featuring beautiful illustrations

EXHIBITION CATALOGUE This exhibition explores the relationship between the human body and Aalto buildings through the work of contemporary artists Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI) and Ilona Sagar (UK). The artists have spent extended periods in the buildings, living in them, talking to the people who worked in them, and incorporating the spaces into their own artistic practice. Artists: Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI) och Ilona Sagar (UK). Curator: Sabina Westerholm Ilona Sagar, still from Other Actors, 2025 Across these works, the buildings are approached as more than static objects: the body and the building form a symbiotic relationship, each shaping the other and carrying the traces and memories of the other.

The exhibition will feature exclusively works from the collection of Bunkier Sztuki, which houses one of the strongest collections of Polish contemporary art in Europe. The exhibition will include photographs, paintings, sculptures, and installations by thirty artists from Poland. The body is at the forefront of the exhibition, which brings together works created predominantly in the 21st century, a period marked by rapid social change, technological advancement, and evolving ideas about the body, identity, and existence. The exhibition directs attention to the body as a living process rather than a fixed entity. It is shaped by environment, technology, social norms, and histories, and is always in relation to other bodies, other lives, and other worlds.
Kjarvalsstaðir
In this exhibition, you can see artworks by Icelandic artists that span approximately six decades following the turn of the 20th century. These works extend across the period during which the painter Jóhannes S. Kjarval was active. In examining Kjarval's journey, and comparing it to the works of his contemporaries, it is possible to see the various ways art changes and evolves. The prevailing spirit of each era is reflected in differing shifts in style, and the artworks provide insight into the artists' inspirations, their surroundings and circumstances. Initially, a romantic view of nature predominated, but symbolism soon after made its way into the narrative, and the first steps were taken towards breaking away from naturalistic imagery. Kjarval was born in 1885 and died in 1972.
Kjarvalsstaðir
Hrafnkell Sigurðsson is the tenth artist selected for the Reykjavík Art Museum’s exhibition series at Kjarvalsstaðir, which highlights the careers of key figures in Icelandic art. Each artist is chosen for their unique contribution and specialization in terms of media, methods, and subject matter. This positioning is reflected in the presentation of key works from different periods in the West Gallery, accompanied by a catalogue that places the artist’s career in the context of art history and the present day. Hrafnkell’s works often highlight contrasts – between order and chaos, culture and nature. He draws attention to how human systems confront natural decay, revealing beauty in what is often overlooked: rubbish, worn surfaces, and the transience of everyday life.

Sensory play is an important part of young children's development, and research has shown that sensory-stimulating experiences have positive effects on their cognitive growth. Various textures, materials, sounds, and scents will be available for the children to explore, and it can be expected that the play might get a little messy! We remind everyone to bring a change of clothes. The program is free, and everyone is welcome. See you at the library!

The exhibition brings together works from different generations where older pieces and new experiments meet, creating a shared space for ideas about existence, belief, and imagination. By reflecting the methods of contemporary artists in esoteric movements such as theosophy, gnosticism, and neo-alism, the exhibition forms connections between different realms. The same yearning for meaning and purpose that led the spiritual movements of the past is echoed by contemporary artists today. This yearning manifests in their working methods that weave together scientific fiction, embodied approaches, and religious world-making theories. The works offer possible worldviews, both internal and external, where dreams, rituals, and reflections on life beyond the earthly become ways to approach the present in a new light. The inspiration for the exhibition can be traced back to spiritual and mystical currents that emerged over a century ago, during times of uncertainty and impending world war. That experience resonates in the present, where similar concerns arise. These currents can be seen as precursors to the spiritual emphasis that has recently become prominent in contemporary art, where art has long been a platform to address alienation and a means to seek meaning and fulfillment. The exhibition will be in two parts that approach the subject matter in different ways. On September 27, the second part of the exhibition opens at Þula, Marshall House, where the focus will be on a careful presentation of completed works. A week later, on October 3

In the Hands of the Military The War Years in Akureyri and Eyjafjörður through the Eyes of Soldiers and Locals In the Hands of the Military focuses on the presence of British, American, Norwegian, and Canadian soldiers in Eyjafjörður during World War II. On May 17, 1940, the patrol vessel Ægir docked in Akureyri, a week after the occupation of Reykjavik. On board were 40 seasick soldiers who occupied Eyjafjörður. Following this, thousands of soldiers arrived, filling nearly forty military camps in Akureyri or nearby areas. A defensive line was drawn around Hrísey, and mines were laid in the sea. Eyjafjörður was truly in the hands of the military. This is the subject matter of the exhibition In the Hands of the Military, which is based on photographs, films, and contemporary stories from soldiers and locals, along with artifacts, maps, and various other items. The stories in the exhibition depict the contrasting worlds of soldiers and locals, which sometimes become comical in the clashes of foreign cultures.

Curated by Erin Honeycutt and Kristín Scheving. True/False Halldór Ragnarsson: Perhaps more so than at any other time in history, the lines between truth and fiction and their representations are blurred. Younger generations now assess the photographic image with the added lens of deciphering if it is made with artificial intelligence or not, whereas previous generations viewed the world with the conviction that photographs were proof of reality, an extension of the lens that the proof is in seeing with the eyes. There exists a long tradition of asemic writing, or illegible, abstract marks that resemble writing but lack specific semantic meaning.

Berglind Jóna Hlynsdóttir (born 1979) completed a BA degree in visual arts at Iceland University of the Arts 2006, an MA at Valand School of Fine Art in Sweden 2010 and is currently working towards her PhD in Iceland. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions and collaborative projects, and held numerous solo exhibitions. Hlynsdóttir has developed an approach to artmaking through practice, which entails bringing to light specific and hidden aspects of phenomena. It entails thinking of artworks and research as vacuums that suck up and help shape what she refers to as shadow materials. Here, she creates a Shadow Material Vacuum using the artwork Concert by Þorvaldur Þorsteinsson (1998), collecting fragments, storylines, and micro-histories from its production, as well as residues…

A dream returns as a ghost, the financial collapse is recalled from the perspective of a twelve-year-old child, a comet travels through the solar system during the exhibition period, and at the opening, visitors receive a souvenir of an event that has barely begun. Four artists take part in Attendance, each working with performance in a different way. The works stretch between past, present and future, into the sky and the subconscious, where past events are recalled and become unexpected moments through the interaction between artists and audiences.

By examining colors and forms one can learn a lot about visual art. Arranging forms on a picture plane or in a sculpture creates an artwork. Forms can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, organic or geometric, in diverse colors and textures. Colors are often used to arouse emotions and create an atmosphere. They can also be used as symbols, but people’s interpretations of colors can vary a lot, which is influenced by their background as well as context and culture. The aim of the exhibition is to get museum guests to ponder on the meaning of colors and forms in visual arts, based on selected works from Akureyri Art Museum’s collection. The works are diverse and created with different materials and methods. Guests are also invited to participate in the exhibition by creating their own…

Logi Bjarnason (born 1978) graduated with a BA degree from Iceland University of the Arts in 2008 and an MA degree from Städelschule in Germany in 2012. He has exhibited his work in Iceland and abroad and has won prizes and recognitions for his visual art. The subject matter in Bjarnason’s art is Icelandic nature, presented in an abstract way, interlaced with societal issues. He uses various media for his work, either two-dimensional or three-dimensional, even both. The work on the balcony presents a new approach in sculpture where the borders of conception and width have shifted. The sculpture is a part of a series of black rocks, where the abstract form is a criticism of our times with a strong reference to the state of the world in times of war, with the West being completely…

The Russian invasion into Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, marked the beginning of a big trauma for Europe. In this exhibition, war is studied through the eyes of artists from different countries, where art becomes a scene for experience, memories and emotions that are influenced by conflicts. The works evoke pain, fright and a longing for peace, but also show us how war can both divide and unite. Ukrainian artists share stories of pain, hope and persistence, while Icelandic artists mostly reflect on a different experience. French and Danish works evoke memories which can also be based on older refractions, Dutch work connects past and present and a Lithuanian artist reflects on life under constant threats from across the border. Together the works show us how art can mirror, process and…

Curated by Erin Honeycutt and Kristín Scheving. Part performance, part video art, part documentary, the artist duo Austur-Íslendingar (East Icelanders) — Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury — board a tour bus on the Golden Circle route with Icelanders as their audience. The bus follows the standard itinerary: Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss. Three sites at the centre of Iceland's self-image, so thoroughly mediated by the tourism industry that to visit them is already to see them twice — once in the flesh, once through the image that preceded the visit. The landscape is both within and in front of us. It has been made before we arrive at it.

Work from our museum collection. Our experience of landscape lies at the heart of human existence. We live from the land, within it, and upon it. We perceive it, depend on it, and often regard it with a mixture of awe and respect. At the same time, we shape our surroundings, we alter the landscape, exploit its resources, transform it, and claim space within it. At times we feel small and vulnerable in the face of nature's immense forces; at others, we place ourselves above the land we inhabit. Yet regardless of where we are in the world, we remain in constant relationship with the land. It surrounds us, always.

Now, perhaps more than ever before in history, the boundaries between truth and fiction – and their presentation – have become blurred. Younger generations now evaluate photographs with the additional filter of needing to discern whether they were created with artificial intelligence or not, while older generations viewed the world with the conviction that photographs were proof of reality, an extension of the idea that seeing with one’s own eyes was the ultimate proof. There is a long tradition of asemic writing, or unreadable abstract symbols that resemble writing but carry no specific meaning. It functions as writing without language, a kind of participation in mimicking symbols in one’s own interpretation and conveying truth in one’s own words. Somewhere between these poles lies Halldór Ragnarsson's research on the presentation of truth and falsehood in our time. Or rather, research conducted from within: testing the boundaries of one's local knowledge and discovering that those boundaries are closer than expected. Halldór Ragnarsson directs this inquiry towards the presentation of language. Language is indeed an image of a collection of symbols that carry a shared meaning. The painter, who works in Reykjavík, explores the relationship between language and painting using words and short sentences as the primary material – mostly drawn from his diaries – as a series of reflections on how perceived reality withstands embodied experience and perception. Halldór integrates the text directly into the surface of the canvas, allowing language to also function as an image. Repetition plays a key role in his working process. Through repeated writing and layering of words, language gradually shifts from communication to rhythm, texture, and visual form – the word is smoothed out like a stone polished by currents in water, until what remains is more perception than symbol. This is not so much an erasure as a kind of pressure: the same word written ten times, twenty times, until the reader is no longer sure whether they are reading or simply looking. At certain limits of repetition, meaning does not directly disappear but rather detaches from its subject, and something else takes over – something that is closer to the feeling or material reality of the sign itself. The works often oscillate between sincerity and ambiguity, exploring how emotional meaning can emerge, dissolve, or transform through repetition. A word written once is a statement. Written often, it becomes a question, an injury, doubt, or texture. Halldór's paintings investigate the fragile boundaries of reading and vision – where language becomes both a visual structure and a psychological space – and ask how much of the meaning

Echoes of Transformation: Out into the Garden Charlotte's artistry is characterized by precise material handling. Echoes of Transformation: Out into the Garden Charlotte Søeborg Ohlsen (b. 1970) is a Danish visual artist and designer who graduated in graphic design from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. In her works, she explores the boundaries of visual art, design, and craftsmanship, with paper playing a key role both as a material and a method. In recent years, she has developed metal artworks and created site-specific installations where nature, architecture, and the environment become active participants in the meaning-making of the works. Charlotte's artistry is marked by precise material handling and exploration of transformation. Each work emerges from a single sheet that is cut and folded without glue, turning a simple surface into a complex form. Insects are a guiding theme in her works, referencing both the delicate balance of ecosystems and the continuous cycles of growth, transformation, and decline. When these forms are translated into brass or aluminum, the transformation continues, as the surface of the metal gradually changes under the influence of climate and time. The exhibition Echoes of Transformation: Out into the Garden is a site-specific installation that spans two distinct spaces: the Akureyri Art Museum and the Akureyri Botanical Garden. It is conceived as a single continuous work that leads the viewer from the interior space of the museum out into the expansive garden. In the museum, insects made of black paper appear to have settled on windows, walls, and within the space itself. In the Botanical Garden, similar forms take on a new identity as sculptures made of brass and aluminum, where nature becomes an active participant in the development of the works, scattered throughout the space. Weather, light, and seasons shape the surface of the metal, making time a visible material. Thus, the viewer's journey between the museum and the garden becomes part of the work itself, blurring the boundaries between architecture and landscape, nature and culture, the fragile and the permanent.

The opening of the exhibition The Golden Circle by Austur-Íslendingar – Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury – will take place at LÁ Listasafn Árnesinga on Saturday, September 12. On the opening day, the artists will perform live from a bus on the Golden Circle to the museum. The bus will then arrive at the museum where passengers and guests of the exhibition will meet. The Golden Circle The artist duo Austur-Íslendingar – Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury – boards a bus on the Golden Circle with Icelanders as the audience; the project is partly a performance, partly video art, and partly a documentary work. The bus follows a traditional itinerary: Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss. Three sites at the heart of Iceland's identity, so thoroughly conveyed by the tourism industry that a visit to them already implies seeing them twice – once in person, once through the image that existed before the visit took place. The landscape is both within us and in front of us. It has been shaped before we arrive at it. The tour guide's narration is broadcast live to LÁ Listasafn. The bus concludes its journey there, with guides and passengers disembarking together, and the two groups of spectators – those who traveled and those who watched – finally meet. The footage will become part of the exhibition. In the live broadcast, a third type of knowledge will emerge. Those sitting in LÁ Listasafn will follow the journey around the Golden Circle as it happens, in real-time, on screen – which is also the way most of them first became acquainted with it. The delay is not technical but ontological: watching the landscape appear through a camera means being both present and absent, a state that seems new but is not. This is the state of all mediated experience, which suddenly becomes legible within the frame. Walter Benjamin wrote that mechanical reproduction robs the original work of its aura – its presence in time and space – but what the live broadcast offers is even more disturbing: that perception has always been somewhat constructed, that the original has always been a version. The audience in the museum does not have a lesser experience than the passenger on the bus. They have a different experience, with a different kind of exclusion. The passenger cannot step outside the script; the witness cannot feel the spray at Gullfoss. Neither has unmediated access

You will take away simple and effective exercises that you can incorporate throughout your day and feel how greater calm, lightness, and joy can accompany you. The practice is open to everyone, and no experience is necessary. You can be standing, sitting, or lying down, and you can even follow the movements in your mind if your body calls for stillness. About Qigong Qigong is an ancient and profound practice rooted in China and is one of the cornerstones of traditional Chinese medicine. In Qigong, gentle, conscious movements meet stillness, and together they help us remember our connection to nature and our own inner rhythm.

CONNECTIONS II Women Bridge over Sea and Continents – Connecting Cultural Worlds, Shaping Narratives The works of Birgit Graschopf, Kristín Gunnlaugsdóttir, Sigríður Rut Marrow, Tanja Prušnik, Ramona Schnekenburger, and Hulda Vilhjálmsdóttir share a common ground in their sensitivity to what emerges at the borders of different worlds; between body and landscape, memory and presence, the visible and that which lies beneath the surface. Their works are not created out of a need to describe reality but from a desire to give form to what is difficult to capture with words, emotions, atmosphere, and the experiences that shape our connections with one another. Although the works were not created in direct dialogue, they seem to resonate and form unexpected connections among themselves. In the exhibition, the materials play an important role. Concrete, sandpaper, fish skin, textiles, color, water, and paper bear the marks of time, movement, and touch. The creative processes of the female artists are characterized by open and exploratory methods where intuition, experimentation, and transformation take precedence. The works are created in a multilayered process where form and meaning gradually develop; like a landscape shaped by weather and time or memories that take on new forms. Iceland and Austria form an important backdrop in the works, each country with its own history, culture, and nature. Although the countries are geographically distant, a dialogue emerges between them, reflected in the works of the female artists and the questions they direct their attention to. The female body is prominent in the works as a space of perception, experience, strength, and vulnerability. It is not primarily an object of representation but a place where connections, memories, and experiences take shape. Nature is also an active participant in the works; the sea, waterfalls, landscapes, and organic forms become a resonant space for emotions, memories, and inner experiences. When the works of these female artists come together, a lyrical conversation about connections, transformation, and what unites people across different backgrounds and experiences emerges. Although the artists work with different media and visual languages, the works share a common tranquil yet impactful presence that evokes what is difficult to put into words. They open a space for the unsaid and bring forth a fragile yet powerful realm where memories, body, and landscape intertwine. CONNECTIONS II Women Artists: Birgit Graschopf The

In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. Sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson worked in different materials. He carved wood, cut stone, shaped clay, transferred forms to concrete, in addition to working with iron and found materials. Many of his best-known works are enlarged and placed in public space around the city. His works were created in relentless experimentation in the studio where he allowed material, content and space work hand in hand. The sculptures are either figurative or abstract, as Ásmundur went through various periods in his artistic creation. In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. We get a sense of what happened behind the scenes in the artist's search for the appropriate completion for the ideas that emerged.

SALKA - love and death "…it is for this moment that I have lived." In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Landnám Center of Iceland in Borgarnes, Unnur Ösp Stefánsdóttir will compose and perform a new play based on the novel by Halldór Laxness, Sölku Völku, at the Story Loft of the center. The founders of the Landnám Center, Kjartan Ragnarsson and Sigríður Margrét Guðmundsdóttir, previously staged a hugely popular production of Halldór Laxness's Independent People at the National Theatre in 1999, and the connection between the National Theatre and the center has been strong over the years. "How should people live in such a place? And how should people die?" Salka Valka is one of Halldór Laxness's most memorable characters. In the performance, Unnur Ösp will weave through her story, surrounded by music from Halldór Laxness's record collection, which inspired the writing of the book. In close proximity to the audience, Unnur will evoke the grand characters of the story, armed with Laxness's magnificent text. Through dangerous yet captivating relationships between the characters, Unnur intends to search for Salka within herself and Salka within us all. "…but two souls can be so distant from each other even though they once lived in the same body." Actor and author of the play: Unnur Ösp Stefánsdóttir. The performance is based on the first part of Sölku Völku by Halldór Laxness, Þú vínviður hreini. Production by the Landnám Center of Iceland in Borgarnes in collaboration with the National Theatre. Premiere at the Story Loft in February 2026.

Everything is organized and recorded in specially made documentation folders, so it can be referenced later. – This will only be done once – All sculptures are recorded in the building, and those that are still in the studio are sent up to Korpúlfstaðir (the old studio) along with folders and models. This way, a unique insight into the sculptor's work is achieved. – Documentation Exhibition. – She invites us to “Buy my art before I die” and we are encouraged to invest in the future by purchasing artworks in installments.” An ambitious program sheds light on all aspects of the sculptor's creative process from idea to reality. There will be storytimes, glassblowing, and a visit to Brynhildur's Studio at Bakkastöðum. The sculptures in the exhibition span her entire career from 1983 – 2026.

Solo Exhibition - Soffía Sæmundsdóttir - Winter Journey/Illusions Grafík Salurinn 31.10. - 15.11.2026 Hafnarhúsið, Tryggvagata 17, by the harbor Opening on October 31 from 17:00 to 19:00 Open Thursday to Sunday from 14:00 to 17:00 On Saturday, October 31, between 17:00 and 19:00, Soffía Sæmundsdóttir will open her exhibition Winter Journey / Illusions in Grafík Salurinn, the exhibition hall of the Icelandic Graphic Society at Hafnarhúsið, Tryggvagata 17, by the harbor. She will showcase works on wooden plates, canvas, and paper created over the past two years, highlighting the interplay of these mediums with an emphasis on printmaking. “In my graphic works, I often allow chance to take the lead. What transfers from the wooden plate to the paper can be difficult to control, but I value the handmade and the imperfect. I see the wooden plates as independent works but use the paper to achieve depth and take away the hand control. The works I am showing here have been created either outdoors in nature or during specific times at Korpúlfsstöðum, Eyrarbakki, and at the graphic workshop of Edvard Munch in Ekely, Oslo.” Soffía Sæmundsdóttir (b. 1965) has been active in Icelandic art life for many years and is known for her paintings on wooden plates. She studied graphic design at the Iceland Academy of the Arts and earned an MFA in painting from Mills College in Oakland, California, from 2001 to 2003. She has held numerous solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions both domestically and internationally. She has been an artist-in-residence at various locations, including Leighton Studios at Banff Center in Canada, and Kunstkvarteret in Stamsund, Norway, as well as a workshop resident at the graphic workshop of Edvard Munch in Ekely, Oslo, in November 2025. She has participated in countless collaborative projects and received numerous accolades for her work. Soffía states that when a person is painted into a landscape, it gains history and meaning. It evokes emotions, and time becomes significant. In recent years, she has focused more on her own

Farah Saleh Balfour Reparations Thursday, November 12, 17:00 - 17:40 Tjarnarsalur – Reykjavik City Hall, Tjarnargata 11 Balfour Reparations (2026-2046) is a powerful stage work in the form of a lecture that examines the legacy of British colonial policy in Palestine. At its core is Arthur James Balfour, Prime Minister (1902-1905) and Foreign Secretary (1916-1919), and how he contributed to denying the Palestinian people political rights. Saleh draws inspiration from sources and employs critical fabulation as she weaves together history, fiction, and fantasy. In 2046, we gather as members of a reparations committee to contemplate a fictional apology letter from the British government in 2026, in which they promise the Palestinian people reparations. How can one take responsibility for such an obligation? What can justice entail? Farah Saleh is a Palestinian dancer, choreographer, and scholar based in Scotland. She studied language and cultural mediation in Italy alongside a master's degree in contemporary dance. Since 2010, she has participated in projects around the world with Sareyyet Ramallah Dance Company (Palestine), Royal Flemish Theatre, and Les Ballets C de la B (Belgium), Mancopy Dance Company (Denmark/Lebanon), Siljehom/Christophersen (Norway), and Candoco Dance Company (UK). She was an artist in residence at Dance Base in Edinburgh from 2017 to 2021, and in 2023 she completed her PhD at Edinburgh College of Art. In 2024, she began working as a professor of Global Majority Performance in the Department of Theatre at Glasgow University. Free! Tickets must be reserved! Accessibility: An elevator goes to Tjarnarsalur from the parking garage and from the level where the entrance is located. Accessible restrooms are available at the entrance on Tjarnargata.

The book for reading in Rökkurstund is the Swedish novel De kommer att drunkna i sine mödrars tårar (2017) by Johannes Anyuru. De kommer att drunkna i sine mödrars tårar is a novel set in the future that shows how the democratic society of Sweden could evolve if democratic values are not upheld. The story begins with a terrorist attack that takes place in a bookstore where a controversial cartoonist is giving a lecture. The attack is recorded on video and subsequently streamed, after which the girl behind the recording is admitted to a psychiatric ward. She contacts an author with whom she wants to share her story. She claims to come from the future where Swedish society is completely shattered. Her story prompts the author to reflect on the kind of life we live and the society we inhabit. The novel sheds light on the consequences that can arise from disregard and exclusion from society, while at the same time addressing hope, freedom, and the power of language.

When the Troll Stole Christmas will premiere on the Main Stage of the Borgarleikhús in November 2026. When the Troll Stole Christmas is a fantastic musical for the whole family and is well-suited for children aged 4-5 years. The show will last 2 hours with an intermission and will be performed on the Main Stage. This is a large production featuring a big cast of actors and dancers. The Troll lives a lonely life with a heart that is "two sizes too small." He cannot stand Christmas, but in the next town, it is celebrated joyfully with songs, gifts, and treats, much to the Troll's dismay. One year, he decides to steal Christmas under the cover of night by removing everything that reminds people of it. When Christmas songs are still heard the next morning, the Troll realizes that Christmas does not lie in worldly things – but in the hearts of people. The musical When the Troll Stole Christmas is based on the beloved story by Dr. Seuss from 1957. A Christmas adventure for the whole family! On selected dates, a fun Christmas ball will be offered after the show, with Santa Clauses keeping the party going. The Christmas ball will take place in the foyer of the Borgarleikhús and will start immediately after the show. Light refreshments are included in the Christmas ball. https://www.borgarleikhus.is/syningar/thegar-troelli-stal-jolunum

What if our dreams have more to tell us than we realize? Every night we travel into a world where anything is possible. We experience adventures, meet people, visit unfamiliar places, and feel emotions that can follow us deep into the day. But how often do we take the time to pause and listen to what our dreams have to say? Personally, I am fascinated by dreams. In recent years, I have been recording my dreams and working to better understand my dream world and connect it to my waking life. On this journey, I have gathered various insights, and I would like to invite you to a dream circle where I will share what I have learned about dreams, dream work, and how we can build a more conscious relationship with our dreams. We will also try simple and fun exercises that can help us explore our own dreams and discover new aspects of them. In this evening gathering, we will enjoy cocoa and/or tea, have the opportunity to share dreams, and explore how we can use dreams as a means of self-knowledge, insight, and creativity. ✨This evening gathering is for those who are interested in: 🌙 Remembering their dreams better and simpler methods to work with them 🌙 Exploring the symbols, emotions, and connections of dreams to our daily lives 🌙 Sharing dreams and working with them in a group 🌙 Considering how we can honor our dreams and take inspiration from them into our waking lives 🌙 Expanding horizons & enriching imagination You do not need any prior experience in dream work to participate.

It restores balance, promotes relaxation, and enhances well-being by using harmonious tones, vibrations, and frequencies.

She has worked as a sound healer since 2022 and has hosted various sound healing events since then, including at Yogashala, Umi, and Yogavin. Sound healing has been a significant part of her self-healing and healing others. Berglind is also a trained Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) and has worked for 12 years as a therapist with groups, individuals, and couples, using various methods. Lovísa's journey into holistic healing began in 2017 when she started working intentionally on herself, her experiences, and inner growth. Sound healing has been her primary remedy on this journey, and she has personally worked with sound healing for several years. Lovísa is a trained yoga teacher and has also studied coaching, healing, and various other courses in the field of holistic well-being. Today, she shares her experiences and knowledge with warmth and presence, aiming to create a space where people can relax, connect with themselves, and find inner peace. Árni Jónsson is a trained treatment representative from the University of Akureyri in collaboration with SÁÁ, graduating in 2024. He possesses both professional knowledge and personal experience, having faced addiction that developed following trauma.

Árni has completed a course at Hjartasetri, a platform for psychedelic education, therapeutic work, and self-care.

On Thursday, November 12th from 19:30 to 21:00, Elvar Jónsson, leader of children's well-being, and Kristín Edda Guðmundsdóttir, educational consultant, will provide information for the parents of first-grade students in the primary schools of Mosfellsbær. The start of primary school marks a significant milestone in the lives of children and parents. Children face new challenges, develop and form friendships, and continue to build on the foundation laid regarding language development and literacy during their preschool years. Good social skills are an important prerequisite for well-being, positive interactions, and successful participation in school activities, just as regular reading practice is a crucial foundation for continued learning. In both areas, parents play a key role. The lecture will address the role of parents in reading practice and social skills, providing practical guidance on how to support children in these matters. The goal is for parents to leave with practical tools to support their children's development and schooling. The Parent School of Mosfellsbær is a project that will be launched in the autumn of 2026 and is part of the Communication Agreement of Mosfellsbær. The Parent School includes annual education for parents tailored to the age of their children. It is recommended that all parents of the relevant age group attend the education offered at any given time.

In Eldborg. Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film Psycho, about Marion Crane's fateful visit to the Bates Motel in California, is considered by many to be one of the best films of the past century. The film was nominated for four Oscars and is still immensely popular even though over 65 years have passed since its premiere. The eerie music of American composer Bernard Herrmann is crucial in its success. He composed music for seven of Hitchcock's films, the music for Psycho being the most well known. It is written exclusively for the orchestra's string instruments, and their possibilities are explored in depth. The piercing strings in the famous shower scene will haunt the audience for days after the concert! Don't miss Psycho in a live performance by the Iceland Symphony Orchestra in Eldborg.

What happens when chance, chaos, movement, and sound meet on stage? The Abolition of Chance is a new interdisciplinary project by Puruñeka Duo that combines six new works for percussion duo, composed by composers who all studied at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. The piece draws inspiration from the revolutionary poem by Stéphane Mallarmé, Un coup de dés jamais n’abolira le hasard, exploring a world where nothing is perfectly fixed: rhythms collide, sounds transform, and movement becomes part of the music. Mallarmé's poem defies traditional form and celebrates abstract ideas and diverse interpretations. We took this freedom as a starting point for a creative collaboration among six composers, two choreographers, dancers, and musicians, using unconventional instruments, expanded playing techniques, and new.

Spring Awakening is a rock musical by Steven Sater based on the German play of the same name by Frank Wedekind from 1891, with music by Duncan Sheik. The musical premiered in 2006 on Broadway and won 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The musical tells the story of young people rebelling against a conservative society as they discover a new world of emotions and freedom outside the classroom, with beautiful and horrific consequences. This group of young people, who have only each other to guide them, tread the twisted and rocky path that comes with adolescence and, in the process, discover their own bodies, minds, and identities. Spring Awakening is a powerful and vibrant celebration of youth and rebellion; the work intertwines morality, sexuality, and rock in a story that touches the heart. Trigger Warnings: The performance references sexual violence, death, grief, and loss. Sexuality, violence, and suicide are staged. For more information, please contact the Mosfellsbær Theatre Company on Instagram or Facebook @leikmos. The performance is not suitable for children.

Music stand-up with a Mexican twist. Fresh Happy Mex is the third music stand-up show by Kári Viðarsson and also the most ambitious one yet. It features a lot of sponsorship and will be heavily advertised. This is different from its predecessors Frjáls Framlög (Tjarnarbíó 2017) and Félagslegt Sjálfsmorð (Café Rósenberg 2024). Kári will also play more instruments than before, and everything will be a bit looser and more likely to cause chaos. Tickets for this show will also be much more expensive than for the previous ones, as the performer's debt situation is much more serious than before. At the same time, it is much cheaper than most competing shows, but free nachos will be offered, and those who arrive early can get a free beer. Jokes, mistakes, anecdotes, theories, and some surprises. An unforgettable evening with the best-kept secret of the Icelandic comedy scene. Not suitable for children under 16.

Fragile: Ritual III – Forgiveness Fragile: Ritual II - Forgiveness is the third and final ritual in Fragile. The work is based on anonymous confessions collected from the public. They range from minor transgressions to actions that have caused turmoil, harm, or pain. The ritual is performed as a call-and-response song for a split choir, where confessions and forgiveness resonate alternately. Guests are invited to participate in symbolic actions and communal singing. This creates a shared space where we can confront our own imperfections and meet guilt with compassion and empathy.

The Real Estate Martyrdom A bittersweet contemporary play about the comedic jungle of the housing market. Arnrún needs to find a new roof over her head after an unexpected breakup. She can't move back in with her parents, has a bad feeling about the rental market, and decides to buy her first apartment. What follows is a bittersweet and absurd journey through the jungle of bank employees, real estate agents, and lenders. This work serves as a sharp and humorous mirror to the reality of young people today, where character creation in the spirit of Sex and the City meets Kafka's absurd world. The play, written by Lithuanian playwright Gabrielė Labanauskaitė, was awarded Best Foreign Play at Germany's largest playwriting festival in 2021.

Lystigarðurinn, Akureyri
Date with the Past Outdoor Photography Exhibition Photography Exhibition It is a long-standing tradition for us ÁLFkonur to set up a new photography exhibition in the Botanical Garden at the beginning of summer. For each exhibition, we choose a specific theme to work with. This time, it was decided to dedicate the exhibition to the 100th anniversary of the Icelandic Photographers' Association, which is celebrated this year. The founding meeting was held in 1926 and was attended by 18 photographers, most of whom worked in Reykjavík. It is worth mentioning that among this group were 3 women. The idea arose to work with 100-year-old photographs from Akureyri that are preserved at the Museum of Cultural History. We each worked individually, trying to find the spot where the photographer might have stood when taking the picture. Once the location was found, we set up our cameras and clicked away. A lot has changed in the town over the past 100 years, and it was often very difficult to capture good images as buildings or tree growth obscured the view. It was therefore pleasantly surprising to see that despite the many changes, there are still buildings that can be seen in these old photographs. ÁLFkonur are in their 16th year of operation, and this exhibition is the fifteenth in the Botanical Garden. The participating ÁLFkonur this time are: Agnes H. Skúladóttir, Berglind H. Helgadóttir, Guðný Pálína Sæmundsdóttir, Gunnlaug E. Friðriksdóttir, Hafdís G. Pálsdóttir, Halla S. Gunnlaugsdóttir, Helga H. Gunnlaugsdóttir, Hrefna Harðardóttir, Inga Dagný Eydal, Kristjana Agnarsdóttir, Lilja Guðmundsdóttir, Linda Ólafsdóttir, Margrét Elfa Jónsdóttir. We warmly invite you to enjoy and hope you have fun going on this "Date with the Past" with us. The exhibition runs until spring 2027 and is open during the opening hours of the Botanical Garden in Akureyri. The event calendar for Art Summer can be found at listasumar.is.

The exhibition by Louise Harris "12 Women" opens at Mokka on October 29 and runs until December 2. In previous exhibitions, I have discussed paintings in relation to my place in the world. Am I a foreign woman painting with watercolors, or am I an Icelandic woman? For some reason, this question has been at the forefront of my mind as I continue to paint and paint. And sometimes I feel like I should stop painting. I find myself a project that influences the painting, while it distracts me from it or simply gives me space to gain a little distance and even perspective, if that is something I could ever understand. Louise Harris is a painter currently working with watercolors and textiles. She holds a BFA from the University of Oxford and an MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London. She has exhibited in Iceland, Finland, the UK, Japan, and Canada. She was born on the Isle of Sheppey, grew up in South England, and now lives and works in Reykjavík. The exhibition is a sales exhibition and runs until December 2, open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM. Everyone is welcome!

Architecture is all around us, even if we do not always notice it. The buildings and spaces we inhabit shape our daily lives, how we move, play, work, and interact with one another. But how does design and architecture affect us? What kind of homes do we want to live in? Do we need different spaces for different activities, and what makes a good space? In Alvar Aalto’s designs, human beings were always the priority, and children were no exception. In his plans and layouts, Aalto took children and their needs into account. His work reminds us that children have a right to a good daily life and an environment that considers their needs. The exhibition is based on the book Kurjen Kartta (Crane’s Map – Adventure in the Forest of the Aaltos) by Reetta Niemelä, featuring beautiful illustrations

Erró is one of the few Icelandic artists who has gained a foothold in the international art scene. The Reykjavik Art Musem houses the most extensive collection of Erró's works and exhibitions from the Erró collection are a regular fixture at the Hafnarhús site of the Reykjavík Art Museum, with the purpose of giving as clear an image as possible of the diverse character of the artist's works. This exhibition is a comprehensive overview of the artist's colourful career that has made use of various media in the visual arts. Within it you will find everything from performances, video works, graphics, multiples and collages, to larger works in public spaces and paintings of all scales.

EXHIBITION CATALOGUE This exhibition explores the relationship between the human body and Aalto buildings through the work of contemporary artists Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI) and Ilona Sagar (UK). The artists have spent extended periods in the buildings, living in them, talking to the people who worked in them, and incorporating the spaces into their own artistic practice. Artists: Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI) och Ilona Sagar (UK). Curator: Sabina Westerholm Ilona Sagar, still from Other Actors, 2025 Across these works, the buildings are approached as more than static objects: the body and the building form a symbiotic relationship, each shaping the other and carrying the traces and memories of the other.

The exhibition will feature exclusively works from the collection of Bunkier Sztuki, which houses one of the strongest collections of Polish contemporary art in Europe. The exhibition will include photographs, paintings, sculptures, and installations by thirty artists from Poland. The body is at the forefront of the exhibition, which brings together works created predominantly in the 21st century, a period marked by rapid social change, technological advancement, and evolving ideas about the body, identity, and existence. The exhibition directs attention to the body as a living process rather than a fixed entity. It is shaped by environment, technology, social norms, and histories, and is always in relation to other bodies, other lives, and other worlds.
Kjarvalsstaðir
In this exhibition, you can see artworks by Icelandic artists that span approximately six decades following the turn of the 20th century. These works extend across the period during which the painter Jóhannes S. Kjarval was active. In examining Kjarval's journey, and comparing it to the works of his contemporaries, it is possible to see the various ways art changes and evolves. The prevailing spirit of each era is reflected in differing shifts in style, and the artworks provide insight into the artists' inspirations, their surroundings and circumstances. Initially, a romantic view of nature predominated, but symbolism soon after made its way into the narrative, and the first steps were taken towards breaking away from naturalistic imagery. Kjarval was born in 1885 and died in 1972.
Kjarvalsstaðir
Hrafnkell Sigurðsson is the tenth artist selected for the Reykjavík Art Museum’s exhibition series at Kjarvalsstaðir, which highlights the careers of key figures in Icelandic art. Each artist is chosen for their unique contribution and specialization in terms of media, methods, and subject matter. This positioning is reflected in the presentation of key works from different periods in the West Gallery, accompanied by a catalogue that places the artist’s career in the context of art history and the present day. Hrafnkell’s works often highlight contrasts – between order and chaos, culture and nature. He draws attention to how human systems confront natural decay, revealing beauty in what is often overlooked: rubbish, worn surfaces, and the transience of everyday life.

EXHIBITION PROGRAM The exhibition explores the relationship between the human body and the buildings designed by Aalto in the works of contemporary artists Dafna Maimon (FI), Ilona Sagar (UK), and Elina Brotherus (FI). The artists share the experience of having spent extended periods in the buildings, living there, engaging with the people who worked there, and weaving the spaces into their own artistic practice. Artists: Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI), and Ilona Sagar (UK). Curator: Sabina Westerholm Ilona Sagar, still from the work Other Actors, 2025 In the works, the buildings are viewed as more than static objects: the body and the building create a reciprocal relationship where each shapes the other and carries traces and memories of the other. Through the artists' own bodies, as well as real and imagined characters, the works traverse between research and fiction, the organized and the absurd, in their interactions with the buildings. Together, the artworks offer a deeper and broader perspective on the architecture of the Aalto couple, extending beyond traditional avenues of research. The building as body. The body as building. Dafna Maimon, still from the work Homebody, 2025 The Aalto couple is known for their humanistic approach to architecture, emphasizing the human body with organic forms, warm materials, and a strong design language inspired by nature. The idea of Gesamtkunstwerk, or "total work of art," where different branches of design merge into a cohesive whole, was a key aspect of this approach. They worked in the fields of architecture, urban planning, design, and art, developing their organic design language in close dialogue with significant modernist artists. The plural "Aalto couple" underscores the collaboration that underpinned this activity and refers not only to Alvar Aalto but also to Aino Marsio-Aalto, Elissa Aalto, and the broader activities of the Aalto Foundation, as their contributions were all part of the development and practices of the studio.

The exhibition brings together works from different generations where older pieces meet new experiments, creating a shared space for ideas about existence, belief, and imagination. By reflecting the methods of contemporary artists in esoteric movements such as theosophy, gnosticism, and neo-idealism, the exhibition forms connections between different realms. The same longing for meaning and purpose that led the spiritual movements of the past is what contemporary artists pursue today. This longing manifests in their working methods that intertwine scientific fiction, embodied approaches, and religious world-making theories. The works offer possible worldviews, both internal and external, where dreams, rituals, and reflections on life beyond Earth become ways to approach the present anew. The inspiration for the exhibition can be traced back to spiritual and mystical currents that emerged over a century ago, during times of uncertainty and impending global conflict. This experience resonates in the present, where similar concerns are surfacing. These currents can be seen as precursors to the spiritual emphasis that has recently become prominent in contemporary art, where art has long been a platform to address alienation and a means to seek meaning and fulfillment. The exhibition will be in two parts that approach the subject in different ways. On September 27, the second part of the exhibition opens at Þula, Marshall House, focusing on a careful presentation of finished works. A week later, on October 3, the more experimental and introspective

Sometimes we go for a light walk in the neighborhood or through Elliðaárdalur. When the weather is poor, we stay indoors to read news in easy-to-understand Icelandic, discuss current events in Iceland, and learn about important issues that may affect us. Sometimes we also play board games. The library is located on the upper floor of the building at Gerðuberg 3–5 in Breiðholt. Buses: 3, 4, 12, 17 (stop: FB).

In the Hands of the Military The War Years in Akureyri and Eyjafjörður Through the Eyes of Soldiers and Locals In the Hands of the Military discusses the presence of British, American, Norwegian, and Canadian soldiers in Eyjafjörður during World War II. On May 17, 1940, the patrol vessel Ægir docked in Akureyri, a week after the occupation of Reykjavik. On board were 40 seasick soldiers who occupied Eyjafjörður. Following this, thousands of soldiers filled nearly forty military camps in Akureyri or the surrounding area. A defensive line was drawn around Hrísey, and mines were laid in the sea. Eyjafjörður was truly in the hands of the military. This is the subject matter of the exhibition In the Hands of the Military, which is based on photographs, films, and contemporary stories from soldiers and locals, along with artifacts, maps, and various other items. The stories in the exhibition portray the contrasting worlds of soldiers and locals, which sometimes become comical in the clashes of foreign cultures.

Three artists meet in a group exhibition, working with nature as a material, inspiration and dialogue. Páll á Húsafelli forms his works in stone and paints on ice, material that carries with it stories of the land and the spirit that lives in every vein of leaves or rocks. Lene Zachariassen, who is originally from Norway but lives in Iceland, works in harmony with natural materials where soft threads and texture become a dialogue between hand and organic material. In María Tórgarð’s video to music by &Bartal, movement, sound, water and light are braided into poetic meditation on existence and origin. The three artists all work with nature’s spirit through deep sensitivity and respect. Together they form both a visible and invisible connection to nature, not least the sensitive and living…

By examining colors and forms one can learn a lot about visual art. Arranging forms on a picture plane or in a sculpture creates an artwork. Forms can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, organic or geometric, in diverse colors and textures. Colors are often used to arouse emotions and create an atmosphere. They can also be used as symbols, but people’s interpretations of colors can vary a lot, which is influenced by their background as well as context and culture. The aim of the exhibition is to get museum guests to ponder on the meaning of colors and forms in visual arts, based on selected works from Akureyri Art Museum’s collection. The works are diverse and created with different materials and methods. Guests are also invited to participate in the exhibition by creating their own…

The subject matter in Bjarnason’s art is Icelandic nature, presented in an abstract way, interlaced with societal issues. He uses various media for his work, either two-dimensional or three-dimensional, even both. The work on the balcony presents a new approach in sculpture where the borders of conception and width have shifted.

The Russian invasion into Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, marked the beginning of a big trauma for Europe. In this exhibition, war is studied through the eyes of artists from different countries, where art becomes a scene for experience, memories and emotions that are influenced by conflicts. The works evoke pain, fright and a longing for peace, but also show us how war can both divide and unite. Ukrainian artists share stories of pain, hope and persistence, while Icelandic artists mostly reflect on a different experience. French and Danish works evoke memories which can also be based on older refractions, Dutch work connects past and present and a Lithuanian artist reflects on life under constant threats from across the border.

Part performance, part video art, part documentary, the artist duo Austur-Íslendingar (East Icelanders) — Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury — board a tour bus on the Golden Circle route with Icelanders as their audience. The bus follows the standard itinerary: Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss. Three sites at the centre of Iceland's self-image, so thoroughly mediated by the tourism industry that to visit them is already to see them twice — once in the flesh, once through the image that preceded the visit. The landscape is both within and in front of us. It has been made before we arrive at it.

Curated by Erin Honeycutt and Kristín Scheving. True/False Halldór Ragnarsson: Perhaps more so than at any other time in history, the lines between truth and fiction and their representations are blurred. Younger generations now assess the photographic image with the added lens of deciphering if it is made with artificial intelligence or not, whereas previous generations viewed the world with the conviction that photographs were proof of reality, an extension of the lens that the proof is in seeing with the eyes. There exists a long tradition of asemic writing, or illegible, abstract marks that resemble writing but lack specific semantic meaning.

Four artists take part in Attendance, each working with performance in a different way. The works stretch between past, present and future, into the sky and the subconscious, where past events are recalled and become unexpected moments through the interaction between artists and audiences.

Work from our museum collection. Our experience of landscape lies at the heart of human existence. We live from the land, within it, and upon it. We perceive it, depend on it, and often regard it with a mixture of awe and respect. At the same time, we shape our surroundings, we alter the landscape, exploit its resources, transform it, and claim space within it. At times we feel small and vulnerable in the face of nature's immense forces; at others, we place ourselves above the land we inhabit. Yet regardless of where we are in the world, we remain in constant relationship with the land. It surrounds us, always.

CONNECTIONS II Women Bridge over Sea and Continents – Connecting Cultural Worlds, Shaping Narratives The works of Birgit Graschopf, Kristín Gunnlaugsdóttir, Sigríður Rut Marrow, Tanja Prušnik, Ramona Schnekenburger, and Hulda Vilhjálmsdóttir share a common sensitivity to what emerges at the borders of different worlds; between body and landscape, memory and presence, the visible and that which lies beneath the surface. Their works are not created out of a need to describe reality but from a desire to give form to what is difficult to capture in words, emotions, atmosphere, and the experiences that shape our connections to one another. Although the works were not created in direct conversation, they seem to resonate and form unexpected connections with each other. In the exhibition, the material plays an important role. Concrete, sandpaper, fish skin, textiles, color, water, and paper bear the traces of time, movement, and touch. The working processes of the female artists are characterized by open and exploratory methods where intuition, experimentation, and transformation take precedence. The works are created in a multi-layered process where form and meaning gradually evolve; like landscapes shaped by weather and time or memories that take on new forms. Iceland and Austria form an important backdrop in the works, each country with its own history, culture, and nature. Although the countries are geographically distant, a dialogue emerges between them, reflected in the works of the female artists and the questions they direct their attention towards. The body of the woman is prominent in the works as a space of perception, experience, strength, and vulnerability. It is not primarily an object of representation but a place where connections, memories, and experiences take shape. Nature is also an active participant in the works; the sea, waterfalls, landscapes, and organic forms become echo chambers for emotions, memories, and inner experiences. When the works of these female artists come together, a lyrical conversation emerges about connections, transformation, and what unites people across different backgrounds and experiences. Although the artists work with different media and visual languages, the works share a common quiet yet impactful presence and evoke what is difficult to put into words. They open spaces for the unsaid and highlight a fragile yet powerful realm where memories, body, and landscape intertwine. CONNECTIONS II Women Artists: Birgit Graschopf The works of Birgit Gras
Listasafn Árnesinga
The opening of the exhibition The Golden Circle by Austur-Íslendingar – Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury – will take place at LÁ Listasafn Árnesinga on Saturday, September 12. On the opening day, the artists will perform live from a bus on the Golden Circle to the museum. The bus will then arrive at the museum where passengers and guests of the exhibition will meet. The Golden Circle The artist duo Austur-Íslendingar – Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury – boards a bus on the Golden Circle with Icelanders as spectators; the project is partly a performance, partly video art, and partly a documentary work. The bus follows a traditional itinerary: Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss. Three locations at the heart of Iceland's identity, so thoroughly conveyed by the tourism industry that a visit to them already entails seeing them twice – once in person, once through the image that existed before the visit took place. The landscape is both within us and in front of us. It has been shaped before we arrive at it. The guide's narration is broadcast live to LÁ Listasafn. The bus concludes its journey there, guides and passengers step out together, and the two groups of spectators – those who traveled and those who watched – finally meet. The footage will become part of the exhibition. In the live broadcast, a third kind of knowledge will emerge. Those sitting in LÁ Listasafn will follow the journey around the Golden Circle as it happens, in real-time, on a screen – which is also the way most of them first became acquainted with it. The delay is not technical but ontological: watching the landscape appear through a camera is to be both present and absent, a state that seems new but is not. This is the state of all mediated experience, which suddenly becomes legible within the frame. Walter Benjamin wrote that mechanical reproduction deprives the original work of its aura – its presence in time and space – but what the live broadcast offers is even more disturbing: that perception has always been somewhat constructed, that the original has always been a version. The spectator in the museum does not have a lesser experience than the passenger on the bus. They receive a different experience, with a different kind of exclusion. The passenger cannot step outside the script; the witness cannot feel the mist at Gullfoss. Neither has unmediated access to

Ásmundarsafn
In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. Sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson worked in different materials. He carved wood, cut stone, shaped clay, transferred forms to concrete, in addition to working with iron and found materials. Many of his best-known works are enlarged and placed in public space around the city. His works were created in relentless experimentation in the studio where he allowed material, content and space work hand in hand. The sculptures are either figurative or abstract, as Ásmundur went through various periods in his artistic creation. In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. We get a sense of what happened behind the scenes in the artist's search for the appropriate completion for the ideas that emerged.
Árbær Open Air Museum
Árbær was an established farm well into the 20th century, and the museum opened there in 1957. Árbær is now an open-air museum with more than 20 buildings which form a town square, a village and a farm. Most of the buildings have been relocated from central Reykjavik. The Museum seeks to give an idea of Reykjavik's architecture and way of life in the 19th and 20th centuries. Each house contains an independent historical exhibition or a typical home from a specific period. The museum also houses old-fashioned workshops on typical facilities, technology, and tools.

The world at home is a creative workshop from the Icelandic Design Museum where children step into the shoes of designers and collaboratively work on a residence for an imaginary inhabitant. In the workshop, children learn basic concepts in interior design and engage in discussions about homes. We gain access to a "candy bar" – filled with tempting materials that can be used for model-making. Participants are trained in imagination and in bringing their ideas to scale. Last but not least, the children practice creative and solution-oriented thinking through conversation and collaboration. Participants are divided into groups, and each group works on a home for an astronaut who is interested in baking and has 3 rabbits as pets. Registration for the workshop is below https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/2Wr92VV19V We look forward to working with you!

At the Hauntɘd event, researchers will present the main findings of the study. Additionally, the documentary My City: Perception, Memories, and Narratives in Urban Landscapes, based on the research, will be screened. Light refreshments will be served. You are warmly welcome.

The works I am showing here I have created either outdoors in nature or during specific times at Korpúlfsstöðum, Eyrarbakki, and at the graphic workshop of Edvard Munch in Ekely, Oslo.” Soffía Sæmundsdóttir (b. 1965) has been active in Icelandic art life for many years and is known for her paintings on wooden plates.

It evokes emotions, and time becomes significant. In recent years, she has focused more

On the birthday of Árni Magnússon, the manuscript collector, November 13, the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies annually hosts the so-called Árni Magnússon Lecture. The speaker this time is Þórunn Sigurðardóttir, emeritus research professor. Abstract: The Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies preserves a large collection of ancient documents dating from the 14th century to the early 18th century. The collection also includes numerous copies of ancient documents, some of which are considered lost, but their content is now preserved in the transcripts of Árni Magnússon and his scribes, known as apographs. These documents pertain to purchase agreements, church land deeds, various contracts, judgments, land purchases, boundary disputes, litigation, and much more. The institute received the documents from Copenhagen in 1996, but previously, part of the ancient documents from Árni's collection had been transferred to the National Archives of Iceland, while another part, namely Norwegian documents, went to the National Archives in Oslo. The Árni collection in Copenhagen contains Danish documents and copies of Norwegian ancient documents. In the past three years, efforts have been made to photograph and catalog these important historical records with generous funding from the A.P. Møller Foundation. The lecture will discuss the project, how it came about, and how it was made possible. Furthermore, it will detail the structure of the database, how it can benefit researchers, discuss types of ancient documents, and provide some interesting examples of the content of the documents. Finally, the material aspects of the documents will be addressed, such as appearance and decorations, or what else can be found in the database besides the text of the ancient documents.

The exhibition DRAWN BY WOMEN: Pioneers in architecture offers insight into ongoing research regarding the first women to qualify as architects between 1940 and 1980. While most were from Iceland, some had roots elsewhere; many returned home after their studies, whereas others chose to pursue their careers abroad. Drawing on information from the 1997 Arkitektatal (Architects’ Register) - alongside selection of drawings, photographs, and working documents - the exhibition provides a glimpse into the life's work and creative output of these women. Additionally, video recordings feature several of them sharing their perspectives, experiences, and passion for using architecture to create a better society. It is evident that their influence and professional ambition have left a lasting mark on Icelandic architecture, spanning both urban planning and building design, while also extending far beyond Iceland’s borders. Examples include progressive school buildings in France and social housing projects in Sweden, some of which are such significant landmarks that they have been granted protected status for their cultural and historical value. Their buildings and projects are found even further afield, including in the United States and Italy, as well as at the heart of Nordic cooperation in the Faroe Islands, in the restoration of dozens of castles in Scotland, and in urban planning initiatives in Mozambique. Visitors have the opportunity to contribute information, stories, or comments, thereby directly participating in expanding the database and further connecting the threads. The exhibition runs until the end of the year at Arctic Space, Óðinsgata 7 in Reykjavik. Hours: Mon, Wed, Fri: 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Sat 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM. Also open on request by emailing info@arcticspace.is.

The Advent in November brings us step by step closer to Christmas, one page at a time. Every Friday in November, we will have an author visiting, where we introduce exciting and new books in the lead-up to Christmas, and the Magic of All, the Christmas Book Evening of the Hafnarfjörður Library. During Advent, we shine a light on all kinds of literary works and enjoy the flora of Icelandic literature - and of course, it's great to listen to a bit of literary brilliance and then pop over to the Christmas Village to get into the festive spirit! Elías Rúni is well-known to many as an illustrator and graphic artist, but here he presents a graphic story about finding oneself, telling the tale of Elías, a twenty-eight-year-old illustrator who has never seen himself in the mirror. He embarks on a journey where he confronts shame, overcomes ingrained prejudices, comes out for himself, changes his name and surname, and learns to talk about himself in a new way. First Time is a comic story about the joy of finding one's place in one's own body. The path to this is not without challenges, but Elías illustrates how one can look in the mirror and see oneself for the first time. First Time is a story about the joy of finding one's place in one's own body.

In Norðurljós. Conductor Petri Sakari, former principal conductor of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, leads the Orchestra's wind ensemble in an extremely diverse repertoire where everyone should be able to find something they like. A magnificent fanfare from Paul Dukas' ballet music sets the tone before Milhaud's cheeky and provocative music takes over. Stravinsky's music, dedicated to the memory of Claude Debussy, is a contemplative and solemn work that ends with a serene chorale. English composer Ruth Gipps was exceptionally versatile and left behind a number of works, including five symphonies. As an oboist, she had an excellent knowledge of wind instruments, which is reflected in an exceptionally beautiful work for 10 wind players in which the sea and the beach play the main roles.

Erna Ómarsdóttir, Halla Ólafsdóttir & Saga Kjerúlf Sigurðardóttir Cinderella Friday, November 13, 18:00 - 19:00 Saturday, November 14, 18:00 - 19:00 The Basement – National Theatre of Iceland, Hverfisgata 19 Adventure, ballet exorcism, stand-up, piano concerts, and purifying fire Cinderella, or Ösku fjandans buska, by Erna Ómarsdóttir, Halla Ólafsdóttir, and Saga Kjerúlf Sigurðardóttir is a work in progress set to the music of Prokofiev. On stage are three dancers and two pianists who lead us into a chaotic search for hope while we love to hate being forced into singular forms. Or shoes. This is an attempt to convey the story from the perspective of Cinderella's stepsisters. They invite us into the National Theatre Basement as dancing storytellers and present the fairy tale where cruelty, beauty, vanity, humor, and the despair of the imperfect human soul emerge. Cinderella invites the audience into a world where toil and bliss nourish each other, effort creates beauty, and the darkness of the fairy tale is as important as its light. At its core, Cinderella is a lively and unruly mix of ballet exorcism and piano concert where the familiar fairy tale serves as a gateway into something foreign, darker, and more human. Halla Ólafsdóttir is a choreographer and dancer who graduated with a master's degree in choreography from SKH (formerly DOCH) and from the dance program at the Ballet Academy in Stockholm. The fusion of high and low culture is significant to Halla's artistic work and is characteristic of her pieces. She often draws on well-known references from art, pop culture, and dance, exploring what happens when placed in a new context. Halla has showcased her own works widely across Sweden and internationally. Among her works are the Romeo & Julia series (2018–2024), created with the Iceland Dance Company, Ballet Basel, and Gertnärplatsteater, Sylph (2023) with Cullberg, Beauty & The Beast (2011–2025), Bitchcraft (2017–2025), and The Knife (2013-2014).

On stage, three dancers and two pianists lead us into a chaotic search for hope while we love to hate being forced into one-dimensional forms. Or shoes. This attempt to tell the story from the perspective of Cinderella’s stepsisters invites us into the cellar of the National Theatre as dancing narrators, bringing us the fairytale where cruelty, beauty, vanity, humor, and desperation of the imperfect human soul emerge. Cinde(f******)rella invites the audience into a world where effort and ecstasy nourish each other, where exertion creates beauty, and the darkness of the fairytale is just as important as its light. At its core, Cinde(f****)rella is a lively and unruly blend of ballet-exorcism and piano concert where the familiar fairytale serves as a portal into something strange, darker, and more human.

Erna Ómarsdóttir is an Icelandic choreographer and dancer who graduated from P.A.R.T.S. (Performing Arts Research and Training Studios) in 1998. In her works, she explores extreme physical expression, vocalization, and raw emotional states through what she calls her “Ballet Exorcism” methodology. She has performed and presented her works internationally, touring extensively across Europe and beyond. Her works include, among others, the Romeo & Julia cycle (2018–2024), We Saw Monsters (2021), Sacrifice (2017), a collaboration with Matthew Barney, Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, and Ragnar Kjartansson, Dies Irae (2017), created with Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, and IBM 1401 – A User’s Manual (2006), created with Jóhann Jóhannsson. Saga Kjerúlf Sigurðardóttir is a performance artist who engages equally in co-creation, choreography, and the role of a dancer. She studied dance and choreography at ArtEZ University of the Arts in the Netherlands, later completing a BA in Theology from the University of Iceland and an MFA in Performing Arts from the Iceland University of the Arts in 2017. In addition to leading her own projects as a choreographer, she has worked as a co-creator and performer in numerous projects with performance and art groups such as Marmarabörnum, 16 elskendum, the Iceland Dance Company, The Post Performance Blues Band, Erna Ómarsdóttir & Shalala, Gjörningaklúbburinn, and others.

Flood Current By Aðalheiður Halldórsdóttir, created in collaboration with Jónsi remind me, nature, of the nature within me The work is inspired by the acclaimed exhibition “Flood” by Jónsi, which was shown at Hafnarhús in the previous year. It will explore the human experience of natural forces, our connection to nature, each other, and the powers that reside within us. The absurdity and beauty of fragile humanity that constantly entangles both in front of and within itself. In an eternal search for meaning, it is often forgotten that it is the rolling waves of the turbulent ocean that rise and fall in the heart of man. Flood Current is an all-encompassing experience that engages all the senses. Note: In the exhibition, lights flicker very regularly throughout the work, and sound travels around the entire space, surrounding the audience. The audience sits in close proximity to the performers. Please keep this in mind if you are sensitive to bright light or sound. Additionally, the scent from Fischersund fills the space, a fragrance that carries a hint of the sea.

The Unbearable Lightness of Football Þorleifur Aron, called Doddi, a divorced man in his fifties, and Óli Gunnar, his younger brother, meet to watch all the Manchester United games together on the sofa. The games of the English team are the constant that gives their lives color, but also the time they can spend together and find peace from the hustle and bustle of the day. During the game, their emotions run wild, and through the game, they find an outlet, while their excessive drinking is justified. On this particular Saturday, as the play unfolds, Benedikt Hafberg, the new boyfriend of Doddi's ex-wife, along with the singer Valdimar, unexpectedly joins the group to watch the game. The tension on and off the field increases accordingly, leading to an unpredictable series of events that spans 90 minutes. Just like on the field, anything can happen in the world of football. The Unbearable Lightness of Football is a show for everyone who loves and hates football.

A multi-award-winning, powerful, and exceptionally impactful new play that addresses urgent issues. Högg is a masterfully written new play that has received exceptional responses, including on the West End and Broadway, by the award-winning British playwright James Graham. The play is based on the true story of a young man, Jacobs Dunne, who grew up in a harsh environment in Nottingham, England. The play Högg is based on a true story. The life of 19-year-old Jacobs revolves around partying, thrill-seeking, and excitement. One fateful Saturday night, he gets involved in a dispute in the city center and fatally punches an unknown young man, with terrible consequences. He is sentenced to prison for manslaughter, and when he is released, little else awaits him but his old life. When Joan and David, the parents of the young man who died, request to contact Jacob to ask him a few questions, his life begins to change in ways no one could have predicted. Högg is an exceptionally impactful play, a personal story that simultaneously reflects the whole world and deals with the choice of how we choose to live our lives. A work about blindness, humanity, and the possibility of changing one’s life for the better. The play has profoundly moved audiences and sparked important discussions widely. A true story about a painful life experience and hope in the darkness. The play is based on the book by Jacobs Dunne, Right from Wrong. The work is dedicated to James Hodgkinson and all those who have lost their lives after being struck by a single blow. Discussions will follow the 6th performance, and there will also be special discussion performances. The 7th performance will be subtitled in English and Icelandic.

Fólk What happens when ancient rímur meet pop music? In FÓLK, Milkywhale combines the power of choral singing, electronic music, and dance into a stage experience where Icelandic poetic heritage is given new life. Old verses transform into rhythms, song, and movement, as the past meets the present in a shared celebration of people, voice, and community. The pop duo Milkywhale consists of Árni Rúnar Hlöðversson (FM Belfast) and dancer and singer Melkorka Sigríður Magnúsdóttir. Milkywhale has been described as "a bowl of Skittles, topped with a double shot of espresso mixed with the joy of getting a new puppy and a trampoline on Christmas morning." The band has gained a reputation as a dance band and has performed at Hróarskelda, Reeperbahn, and numerous other music festivals. Now, Milkywhale takes the stage alongside a poetry choir in a new concert piece.

The Property Market A poignant contemporary play about the comedic jungle of the housing market. Arnrún needs to find a new roof over her head after an unexpected breakup. She can't move back in with her parents, has a bad feeling about the rental market, and decides to buy her first apartment. This leads to a poignant and absurd journey through the jungle of bank employees, real estate agents, and loan sharks. This work serves as a sharp and humorous mirror to the reality of young people today, where character creation in the spirit of Sex and the City meets Kafka's absurd world. The play, written by Lithuanian playwright Gabrielė Labanauskaitė, was awarded the best foreign play at Germany's largest playwriting festival in 2021. Director and translation: Adolf Smári Unnarsson Set and costumes: Brynja Björnsdóttir Music: Jóhannes Damian R.

Worldview Áki Guðni Gränz September 4, 2025 – January 4, 2026 The exhibition opening will take place on Thursday, September 4, from 18:00 to 20:00. In the exhibition Worldview, we look at Áki Guðni Gränz (1925–2014), a folk artist who created a unique position in the cultural life of Njarðvik and beyond. His works were never merely replicas of landscapes or people – they were personal mappings of his imaginative world, where dreams, folklore, and memories intertwined. In these works, we see the worldview of a man deeply rooted in his community, but also possessing a rich inner life that he conveyed in his unique way. Áki was a master painter by education but a passionate artist at heart. He constantly sought ways to capture what he experienced in nature, stories, and society. In Worldview, these searching steps are revealed: paintings that are not only landscapes or portraits but interpretations of his inner landscape. Here one can find trolls and mythical beings, heroes and poets, memories from the locality, and dreamlike visions that stretch beyond the everyday. In Áki's works, two realms meet: the visible landscape and the invisible world of tales and dreams. He painted trolls and elves rooted in local folklore, as well as historical figures with whom he felt a connection. Through this, he united different dimensions into one whole – what was, what could be, and what only appears in the artist's imagination. The artworks in the exhibition are from the collection of the Reykjanesbær Art Museum, along with works owned by the artist's family. Áki would have turned 100 this year, and the exhibition will honor the memory of the artist with a selected overview of his works. Áki was a prolific painter, sculptor, and designer of various signs and flags, including the town emblem of Njarðvik and the emblems of the Njarðvik Women's Association, the South Peninsula Tradesmen's Association, and others. Áki actively participated in local government, elected to the Njarðvik municipal council in 1970, served as a town representative for the Independence Party in Njarðvik until 1986, and was the chairman of the Njarðvik town council from 1982 to 1986. He served on the board of the Njarðvik Youth Association, was a founding

Date with the Past Outdoor Photography Exhibition Photography Exhibition It has been a long-standing tradition for us ÁLFkonur to set up a new photography exhibition in the Botanical Garden at the beginning of summer. For each exhibition, we choose a specific theme to work with. This time, we decided to dedicate the exhibition to the 100th anniversary of the Icelandic Photographers' Association, which is celebrated this year. The founding meeting was held in 1926, attended by 18 photographers, most of whom worked in Reykjavík. It is worth noting that among this group were 3 women. The idea arose to work with 100-year-old photographs from Akureyri that are preserved at the Heritage Museum. We each worked individually, trying to find the spot where the photographer might have stood when taking the picture. Once the location was found, we set up with our cameras and clicked away. A lot has changed in the town over the past 100 years, and it was often very difficult to capture good images as buildings or tree growth obscured the view. It was therefore pleasantly surprising to see that despite the many changes, there are still buildings that can be seen in these old photographs. ÁLFkonur are in their 16th year of operation, and this exhibition is the fifteenth in the Botanical Garden. The participating ÁLFkonur this time are: Agnes H. Skúladóttir, Berglind H. Helgadóttir, Guðný Pálína Sæmundsdóttir, Gunnlaug E. Friðriksdóttir, Hafdís G. Pálsdóttir, Halla S. Gunnlaugsdóttir, Helga H. Gunnlaugsdóttir, Hrefna Harðardóttir, Inga Dagný Eydal, Kristjana Agnarsdóttir, Lilja Guðmundsdóttir, Linda Ólafsdóttir, Margrét Elfa Jónsdóttir. We invite you to enjoy and hope you have fun going on this "Date with the Past" with us. The exhibition runs until spring 2027 and is open during the opening hours of the Botanical Garden in Akureyri. The event calendar for the Art Summer can be found at listasumar.is.
Keflavík Airport
Друзья, приглашаем вас в одну из самых завораживающих стран мира — Исландию. Землю льда и огня, где каждый рассвет приносит новые открытия, а каждый вечер может подарить танец Северного сияния прямо над вашей головой. Мы подготовили маршрут, который собирает всё лучшее, чем знаменита эта северная страна: могучие водопады, гейзеры, что выстреливают к небу, вулканические долины, будто сошедшие с иных планет, лавовые поля, океанские арки, чёрные пляжи и скрытые горячие источники, о которых знают только местные. За четыре дня вы увидите больше, чем большинство туристов успевает за целую неделю — и все это в комфортном ритме приключения. Мы будем ходить по уникальным природным тропам, купаться в горячих гоных реках, фотографировать пушистых исландских лошадок, гулять по атмосферному Рейкьявику и каждый вечер проверять небо в надежде поймать яркое сияние. Это путешествие для тех, кто хочет вдохнуть свежий северный воздух и привезти домой не просто фотографии, а настоящие эмоции и ощущения. Готовы отправиться туда, где живёт магия Севера? 💎 Жемчужины программы ✨ Крисавик — долина кипящей земли и серных красок ✨ Голубая Лагуна (прогулка вокруг) — бирюзовые термальные воды ✨ Исландские лошадки — дружелюбные и невероятно фотогеничные ✨ Гюдльфосс — огромный водопад-гигант ✨ Гейзер Строккур — выбросы кипятка каждые 5–7 минут ✨ Тингвеллир — разлом двух тектонических плит ✨ Керид — красный вулканический кратер с бирюзовым озером ✨ Горячая река в горах — купание под открытым небом ✨ Дюрхолэй — океанские арки и панорамы края света ✨ Рейнисфьяра — легендарный чёрный пляж ✨ Скоугафосс — водопад, над которым почти всегда видна радуга ✨ Дикие природные бассейны — горячая вода среди холмов ✨ Северное сияние — шанс увидеть магию каждый вечер 📅 ПРОГРАММА ПО ДНЯМ День 1. Прилёт в Исландию и первые чудеса природы ✈️ Рига (10:45) → Рейкьявик (11:40) Прилетаем в Исландию и сразу включаемся в ритм настоящего приключения. День предстоит насыщенный, поэтому движемся слаженно и в хорошем темпе, чтобы успеть увидеть всё самое интересное. Сначала разомнёмся короткой прогулкой в районе Голубой Лагуны - пройдём по фантастическим лавовым полям и увидим знаменитые бирюзовые воды лагуны. Затем направляемся в долину Крисавик - место, где кипят грязевые котлы, клубится пар, а склоны сияют красными, жёлтыми и серными оттенками. После природной части заедем в Рейкьявик: прогуляемся по центру, заглянем в сувенирные лавки, пообедаем в одном из известных мест с традиционной исландской кухней - отличный способ почувствовать атмосферу страны с первых часов путешествия. Вечером едем в наш гостевой дом (90 км, ~1,5 часа). Там нас ждёт ужин - и, если останутся силы, первая охота за Северным сиянием. 🏨 Ночь в гостевом доме. День 2. Золотое кольцо — водопады, гейзеры, лошадки и теплые реки Ранний подъём, плотный завтрак - и начинаем новый яркий день приключений. Первым делом отправимся к Гюдльфоссу - огромному мощному водопаду, чей рев слышен ещё до того, как он появляется в поле зрения. В солнечную погоду здесь нередко возникают радуги, а зимой вода и скалы покрываются льдом, создавая удивительный контраст цвета и формы. По дороге сделаем приятную остановку - заедем к исландским лошадкам. Для тех, кто захочет, можно будет покормить их и сделать красивые фотографии. Эти дружелюбные, пушистые малыши настоящая визитная карточка Исландии: они охотно подходят к людям и дарят трогательные моменты посреди суровых северных пейзажей. Дальше отправимся к знаменитому гейзеру Строккур. Каждые несколько минут он взмывает в небо мощным столбом кипятка - впечатляющее шоу природы, которое трудно описать словами и невозможно пропустить. Вы буквально чувствуете, как земля под ногами дышит: пейзаж вокруг наполнен паром, пузырящимися котлами и кипящими источниками. Мы пройдём по тропам среди горячих термальных полей - мимо дымящихся отверстий, разноцветных минералов и кипящей воды всего в нескольких сантиметрах от нас. Это одно из тех мест, где Исландия раскрывается во всей своей вулканической силе, и каждый шаг напоминает, что вы стоите на живой планете. Следующий пункт - Национальный парк Тингвеллир, место, где буквально расходится земная кора: здесь встречаются две тектонические плиты - Североамериканская и Евразийская. Это не только геологическое чудо, но и колыбель исландской истории: именно здесь собирался первый парламент страны - Альтинг, один из старейших в мире. А ещё Тингвеллир стал съёмочной площадкой для “Игры престолов”: фанаты сериала без труда узнают ущелье, по которому путешествовали герои фильма. Мы пройдём около 3 км по живописным тропам, мимо разломов, лавовых стен и смотровых площадок с панорамами, которые захватывают дух. После посетим кратер Керид. Ослепительно красные вулканические стены, бирюзовое озеро на дне и почти идеальная чаша кратера создают пейзаж, который выглядит так, будто его нарисовали для открытки. И в завершение дня - особый финал. Мы отправимся в вечерний трек (~3 км в одну сторону) к горячим источникам, скрытым высоко в горах и доступным только пешком. Когда воздух вокруг прохладный, а над головой - чистое северное небо, вы погружаетесь в тёплую природную реку и чувствуете, как весь день словно растворяется в её потоках. Это не просто купание - это настоящий исландский ритуал: сочетание первозданной дикости, полной тишины и глубокого расслабления, которое невозможно повторить в обычных спа. Именно такие моменты делают путешествие по-настоящему неповторимым. Возвращаемся в наш гостевой дом, где нас ждёт ужин и тёплая атмосфера после насыщенного дня. При ясной погоде мы снова сможем выйти на улицу и попробовать устроить ещё одну охоту за Северным сиянием - шансы зимой всегда вдохновляющие. 🏨 Ночь в гостевом доме. День 3. Южное побережье — океан, арки, чёрные пляжи и горячие источники С раннего утра отправляемся к мысу Дюрхолэй - месту, где океан веками вытачивал в скалах гигантские арки, колонны и каменные башни. Здесь чувствуешь себя на края света: ветер, мощные волны и бесконечный горизонт создают атмосферу настоящей дикости и свободы. Дальше - легендарный чёрный пляж Рейнисфьяра. Его считают одним из самых красивых пляжей мира: чёрный вулканический песок, гул Атлантики, базальтовые колонны и величественные «Пальцы тролля» заставляют замирать даже тех, кто видел немало удивительных мест. Это место, где природа показывает свой фирменный драматизм, создавая пейзаж, от которого невозможно оторвать взгляд. После этой мощной картины заедем в городок Вик - маленький, уютный и невероятно фотогеничный. Отличная точка, чтобы перевести дыхание и насладиться видом на горы и океан. Затем нас ждёт водопад, который невозможно забыть - Скоугафосс. 60-метровый поток воды падает с такой силой, что воздух вокруг наполнен лёгкой дымкой. В солнечные дни над водопадом почти всегда появляется радуга - идеальный момент для фото и восторга. После отправляемся на короткий трек (~1,5 км) к диким горячим источникам, спрятанным среди холмов. Здесь можно окунуться в тёплую воду под открытым небом, где с горных склонов прямо в дикий бассейн стекают тёплые ручейки. Вы словно попадаете в настоящий геотермальный оазис, укрытый в глубине исландских холмов. Завершим день у Сельяландсфосса - водопада, за который можно зайти и увидеть мир сквозь завесу падающей воды. Прогулка по тропе за струями даёт совершенно иной ракурс, а брызги и игра света создают атмосферу настоящего чуда природы. Возвращаемся в гостевой дом - приятная усталость и чувство глубокого впечатления гарантированы. Если небо будет ясным, у нас снова будет возможность выйти наружу и понаблюдать за Северным сиянием — здесь оно часто появляется неожиданно, озаряя небо зелёными и фиолетовыми лентами. 🏨 Ночь в гостевом доме. День 4. Возвращение домой Завтракаем, собираем вещи и выезжаем в аэропорт (130 км, ~2 часа). По дороге в аэропорт в последний раз ловим взглядом исландские пейзажи - они точно останутся с вами надолго. В аэропорту надо оказаться не позднее 10:30 утра, чтобы спокойно сдать машину и пройти все формальности перед вылетом. ✈️ Рейкьявик (13:30) → Рига (19:10) 💶 Стоимость: 600 € Включено: ✅ планирование и организация ✅ услуги гида-водителя ✅ аренда микроавтобуса + топливо + парковки ✅ проживание в гостевом доме (по 2 человека в комнате) ✅ завтраки и ужины (готовим сами) ✅ консультации и помощь в приобретении снаряжения (при необходимости) ✅ скидки на снаряжение в магазинах Риги Не включено: ❌ авиабилеты ❌ страховка ❌ личные расходы 👥 Размер группы Максимум — 8 человек. Это значит: больше внимания каждому участнику, уютная атмосфера и настоящая командная динамика. 👤 Лидер группы 🚐 Транспорт Мы арендуем комфортный микроавтобус, которым пользуемся всю поездку. Вся группа едет вместе, без пересадок и ожиданий — это удобно и создаёт приятную атмосферу общей дороги. В микроавтобусе много места для багажа и личных вещей, так что ехать можно легко и свободно, без тесноты. 🏡 Проживание и питание Мы живём в уютном и очень теплом гостевом доме, которую полностью арендуем только для нашей группы. Размещение — по 2 человека в комнате, со всеми удобствами и домашней атмосферой. Завтраки и ужины включены в стоимость. Мы готовим их сами на полностью оборудованной кухне. 🌦 Погода В Исландии часто шутят: «Если вам не нравится погода — подождите пять минут, она станет хуже.» И в этой фразе — вся суть местного климата: мягкого, но очень переменчивого. Несмотря на северное расположение, Исландию заметно согревает Гольфстрим. А геотермальная активность, которой здесь полно, делает климат мягче, чем можно ожидать. Именно поэтому холода ощущаются куда легче, чем, например, в странах Балтии. Многие удивляются, что иногда здесь даже теплее, чем дома в Прибалтике. Но погода меняется стремительно: солнце может в один миг уступить место ветру, дождю или туману. За горой — ясное небо, перед горой — метель. Всё зависит от рельефа: равнины, долины и ледники живут в разных погодных режимах. Температура тоже ощущается по-своему: ветер делает её ниже, а сухой воздух — наоборот теплее. Исландия — это не про пуховики. Это про ветровки, дождевики и многослойность, которая позволяет легко адаптироваться к переменам. Главное правило простое: нет плохой погоды — есть неправильно подобранная одежда. Мы заранее подскажем, что взять с собой, чтобы вы чувствовали себя комфортно при любых условиях. 📲 Для записи и вопросов +371 29572565 (WhatsApp / Telegram) — Владимир 📜 Лицензия туроператора: T-2025-25
Mokka kaffi
The exhibition "12 Women" by Louise Harris opens at Mokka on October 29 and runs until December 2. In previous exhibitions, I have discussed paintings in relation to my place in the world. Am I a foreign woman who paints with watercolors, or am I an Icelandic woman? For some reason, this question has been at the forefront of my mind as I continue to paint and paint. And sometimes I feel like I should stop painting. I find myself a project that influences the painting, while it distracts me from it or simply gives me space to gain a little distance and even perspective, if that is something I could ever understand. Louise Harris is a painter currently working with watercolors and textiles. She holds a BFA from Oxford University and an MFA from Goldsmiths University. She has exhibited in Iceland, Finland, Great Britain, Japan, and Canada. She was born on the Isle of Sheppey, grew up in South England, and now lives and works in Reykjavík. The exhibition is a sales exhibition and runs until December 2, open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM. Everyone is welcome!

Architecture is all around us, even if we do not always notice it. The buildings and spaces we inhabit shape our daily lives, how we move, play, work, and interact with one another. But how does design and architecture affect us? What kind of homes do we want to live in? Do we need different spaces for different activities, and what makes a good space? In Alvar Aalto’s designs, human beings were always the priority, and children were no exception. In his plans and layouts, Aalto took children and their needs into account. His work reminds us that children have a right to a good daily life and an environment that considers their needs. The exhibition is based on the book Kurjen Kartta (Crane’s Map – Adventure in the Forest of the Aaltos) by Reetta Niemelä, featuring beautiful illustrations

The voice is at the center of the work. A voice that continues, breathes in and out, hesitates, repeats itself, and never quite falls silent. The inspiration comes from the novel The Unnamable by Irish author Samuel Beckett, where the characters have vanished and only the voice remains. During his stay in the Westfjords, French artist Tanguy Bret has worked with this voice through drawings, handwriting, graphics, and installations. The work springs from a precise investigation of the text but evolves into material forms that capture time, thoughts, and repetitions. Tanguy Bret is a French artist based in Bourges (18000).

EXHIBITION CATALOGUE This exhibition explores the relationship between the human body and Aalto buildings through the work of contemporary artists Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI) and Ilona Sagar (UK). The artists have spent extended periods in the buildings, living in them, talking to the people who worked in them, and incorporating the spaces into their own artistic practice. Artists: Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI) och Ilona Sagar (UK). Curator: Sabina Westerholm Ilona Sagar, still from Other Actors, 2025 Across these works, the buildings are approached as more than static objects: the body and the building form a symbiotic relationship, each shaping the other and carrying the traces and memories of the other. Through the artists’ own bodies, as well as through real and i
Hafnarhús
The exhibition will feature exclusively works from the collection of Bunkier Sztuki, which houses one of the strongest collections of Polish contemporary art in Europe. The exhibition will include photographs, paintings, sculptures, and installations by thirty artists from Poland. The body is at the forefront of the exhibition, which brings together works created predominantly in the 21st century, a period marked by rapid social change, technological advancement, and evolving ideas about the body, identity, and existence. The exhibition directs attention to the body as a living process rather than a fixed entity. It is shaped by environment, technology, social norms, and histories, and is always in relation to other bodies, other lives, and other worlds.
Kjarvalsstaðir
In this exhibition, you can see artworks by Icelandic artists that span approximately six decades following the turn of the 20th century. These works extend across the period during which the painter Jóhannes S. Kjarval was active. In examining Kjarval's journey, and comparing it to the works of his contemporaries, it is possible to see the various ways art changes and evolves. The prevailing spirit of each era is reflected in differing shifts in style, and the artworks provide insight into the artists' inspirations, their surroundings and circumstances. Initially, a romantic view of nature predominated, but symbolism soon after made its way into the narrative, and the first steps were taken towards breaking away from naturalistic imagery. Kjarval was born in 1885 and died in 1972.
Kjarvalsstaðir
Hrafnkell Sigurðsson is the tenth artist selected for the Reykjavík Art Museum’s exhibition series at Kjarvalsstaðir, which highlights the careers of key figures in Icelandic art. Each artist is chosen for their unique contribution and specialization in terms of media, methods, and subject matter. This positioning is reflected in the presentation of key works from different periods in the West Gallery, accompanied by a catalogue that places the artist’s career in the context of art history and the present day. Hrafnkell’s works often highlight contrasts – between order and chaos, culture and nature. He draws attention to how human systems confront natural decay, revealing beauty in what is often overlooked: rubbish, worn surfaces, and the transience of everyday life.

Architecture is all around us, even if we don't always notice it. The buildings and spaces we inhabit influence our daily lives, how we move, play, work, and interact with one another. But how does design and architecture affect us? What kind of houses do we want to live in? Do we need different spaces for different activities, and what makes a space good? In Alvar Aalto's design, the human being was always a priority, and children were no exception. In his drawings and layouts, Aalto considered children and their needs. His work reminds us that children have the right to a good daily life and an environment that caters to them. The exhibition is based on the book Kurjen Kartta (The Crane's Map – A Tale in the Wave Forest) by Reetta Niemelä, with illustrations by Eri Shimatsuka in the foreground. The exhibition also features interactive games, spaces for movement and creativity, and a reading corner. A climbing frame for the youngest visitors will also be in place, along with a selection of books focusing on architecture, design, and bodies. Workshops, crafting sessions, and storytelling events will also be available in connection with the exhibition, and more information can be found on the Nordic House's website and social media. Admission to the exhibitions and events at the Nordic House is free, and everyone is welcome! Access to the children's library is down the stairs from the main library or via an elevator from the lobby and through the exhibition space Hvelfing. Library staff will provide further information and assistance as needed. More information about accessibility can be found by clicking here. Featured work: Illustration by Eri Shimatsuka.

JÖRFÍ and the Geological Society of Iceland, with the support of the University of Iceland, are holding a symposium in honor of Bryndís Brandsdóttir on Saturday, November 14th. Bryndís is well known to the members of JÖRFÍ, having served as the editor of Jökull for more than a quarter of a century, in addition to actively participating in the society's work for nearly half a century. She has had a successful career as a seismologist at the Institute of Earth Sciences/Science Institute of the University and has worked on numerous research projects in collaboration with many leading experts in the field. Although Bryndís is by no means finished, we believe it is time to honor this core woman who holds such a special place in our hearts. The conference will be held in the main lecture hall of Öskja at the University of Iceland, and a detailed program will be announced later. Of course, Bryndís plans to attend the JÖRFÍ annual celebration in the evening, and symposium guests are encouraged to do the same!

EXHIBITION PROGRAM The exhibition explores the relationship between the human body and Aalto's buildings through the works of contemporary artists Dafna Maimon (FI), Ilona Sagar (UK), and Elina Brotherus (FI). The artists share the experience of spending extended periods in the buildings, living there, engaging with the people who worked there, and weaving the spaces into their own artistic practices. Artists: Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI), and Ilona Sagar (UK). Curator: Sabina Westerholm Ilona Sagar, still from the work Other Actors, 2025 The works view the buildings as more than static objects: the body and the building create a reciprocal relationship where each shapes the other and carries traces and memories of the other. Through the artists' own bodies, as well as real and imagined characters, the works traverse between research and fiction, the organized and the absurd, in their interactions with the buildings. Together, the artworks offer a deeper and broader perspective on the architecture of the Aalto couple, extending beyond traditional avenues of research. The building as body. The body as building. Dafna Maimon, still from the work Homebody, 2025 The Aalto couple is known for their humanism in architecture, emphasizing the human body with organic forms, warm materials, and a strong design language inspired by nature. The idea of Gesamtkunstwerk, or "total work of art," where different branches of design merge into a cohesive whole, was key to this approach. They worked in the fields of architecture, urban planning, design, and art, developing their organic design language in close dialogue with significant modernist artists. The plural "Aalto couple" underscores the collaboration that underpinned this activity and refers not only to Alvar Aalto but also to Aino Marsio-Aalto, Elissa Aalto, and the broader activities of the Aalto Studio, as their contributions were all part of the development and practices of the studio. Read about accessibility at the Nordic House.

Gaia God/dess Temple Gaia hofið
Creative and rejuvenating workshops where we get to know our unique selves on a deeper level and work with the body, energy, emotions, and mind. We find ways to live a more holistic life in harmony with the soul and the life we want to create for ourselves. We use various methods and discover our personal expression in every moment. You follow your flow and choose to take guidance where needed. We strengthen intuition and sensitivity, and activate freedom in expression. We dance from the core into balance and nurture our connections and communication. We release and cleanse energy and emotions and build inner strength. We create consciously and have a positive and beneficial impact on life. We work with perception, the power of nature, imagery, energy centers, and the elements. We build up gently with love and attention and follow guidance into more flow, ending each moment with restoration, nourishing relaxation, and sound healing with sacred instruments like the Gong and crystal bowls. It’s good to bring a water bottle and wear soft clothing, and bring a notebook or papers and writing utensils. We will be at the Gaia Temple on Saturdays from 10:30 AM to 12:15 PM from October 17 to December 19, and then continuing workshops from January 24, 2027. The workshop is for everyone; come as you are, because everyone can dance, and it is one of the best ways to health and joy, especially if the body has challenges, as I know well myself. I look forward to being with you, Solla The price is 4000 kr for a single session, and you can purchase a punch card for 40,000 kr, which also grants access to tea and cocoa ceremonies.

Funded by the Erasmus+ program, the project is designed for youth aged 16–20 and aims to foster emotional literacy, creative autonomy, and civic engagement through artistic and performance-based expression. Rather than utilizing traditional educational structures, the project leverages artistic research and experimentation to explore emotions as crucial forms of personal and social knowledge. Spanning over a year across three European countries, the process culminates in a transnational gathering during Reykjavík Dance Festival in Iceland in November.

Guess what? There's a new story trail at Sólheimar Library! The new trail is called Story Worlds. More friends of the children, from the books they read, have now moved into the library. They live here and there on the shelves of the adult section, just like last time. The houses and places you need to look for are ten in total, and the books referenced are both by Icelandic and foreign authors. As before, you will receive information on how to search, and then you will be given multiple choice questions and need to find the right answer. One of the questions is a kind of “where are” question – you’ll figure out for yourselves what kind of riddle that is. All the locations are marked with a number. You can get everything you need at the reception desk. Join in and take part in Story World on your own, with friends or with your family! Everyone is welcome! Further information: Sigrún J.

Flóð & fjara
A three-hour creative workshop with natural materials. In this workshop, we will get to know basket weaving with coiling – a method where a bundle of grass or other fibers is sewn together in a spiral, gradually forming a basket or bowl. This is a simple yet captivating technique that offers countless possibilities. This method has likely been part of Icelandic basket weaving since the time of Fjalla-Eyvindur, and all the baskets I have seen in Icelandic museums are made using this technique. In the course, we will learn the basic technique, work with natural materials, and create our own small basket or bowl. No prior experience is needed – just curiosity and a desire to create with your hands. In the course, you will get to: - learn a new basket weaving technique - work with natural materials - experiment with form and texture - create a basket using the coiling method Practical information 📅 Date: November 14, 2027 🕒 Time: 11 AM - 2 PM ⏳ Duration: 3 hours + 📍 Location: Flóð og Fjara, Faxatorgi, Faxafeni 10, 2nd floor 💰 Price: 14,500 ISK per person ✂️ All materials and tools included. The group is small, with only 6 spots available, so everyone has enough time to learn and enjoy the work. Come and try transforming grass into a basket – and get to know a craft that connects us to nature and ancient handiwork.

In the Hands of the Military The War Years in Akureyri and Eyjafjörður through the Eyes of Soldiers and Locals In the Hands of the Military tells the story of British, American, Norwegian, and Canadian soldiers in Eyjafjörður during World War II. On May 17, 1940, the patrol vessel Ægir docked in Akureyri, a week after the occupation of Reykjavik. On board were 40 seasick soldiers who occupied Eyjafjörður. Following this, thousands of soldiers filled nearly twenty military camps in Akureyri or nearby areas. A defensive line was drawn around Hrísey, and mines were laid in the sea. Eyjafjörður was truly in the hands of the military. This is the subject matter of the exhibition In the Hands of the Military, which is based on photographs, films, and contemporary stories from soldiers and locals, along with artifacts, maps, and various other items. The stories in the exhibition depict the contrasting worlds of soldiers and locals, which sometimes become comical in the clashes of foreign cultures.

Equity and Inclusion in Practice: The Responsibility of Cultural Institutions What does equity and inclusion mean in practice, and why does it matter? What role can cultural institutions play in creating spaces where people feel seen, represented and genuinely welcome – and what responsibilities come with that role? The Nordic House and Reykjavík Dance Festival invite you to a seminar exploring these questions and examining how cultural institutions can contribute to a diverse, inclusive and accessible cultural life. Cultural institutions can be important spaces for encounter, dialogue and participation. They can bring people together across differences, strengthen social trust and create a sense of belonging. But how can we ensure that culture is truly inclusive and accessible to all? Pro

By examining colors and forms one can learn a lot about visual art. Arranging forms on a picture plane or in a sculpture creates an artwork. Forms can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, organic or geometric, in diverse colors and textures. Colors are often used to arouse emotions and create an atmosphere. They can also be used as symbols, but people’s interpretations of colors can vary a lot, which is influenced by their background as well as context and culture. The aim of the exhibition is to get museum guests to ponder on the meaning of colors and forms in visual arts, based on selected works from Akureyri Art Museum’s collection. The works are diverse and created with different materials and methods. Guests are also invited to participate in the exhibition by creating their own…

Three artists meet in a group exhibition, working with nature as a material, inspiration and dialogue. Páll á Húsafelli forms his works in stone and paints on ice, material that carries with it stories of the land and the spirit that lives in every vein of leaves or rocks. Lene Zachariassen, who is originally from Norway but lives in Iceland, works in harmony with natural materials where soft threads and texture become a dialogue between hand and organic material. In María Tórgarð’s video to music by &Bartal, movement, sound, water and light are braided into poetic meditation on existence and origin. The three artists all work with nature’s spirit through deep sensitivity and respect. Together they form both a visible and invisible connection to nature, not least the sensitive and living…

Berglind Jóna Hlynsdóttir (born 1979) completed a BA degree in visual arts at Iceland University of the Arts 2006, an MA at Valand School of Fine Art in Sweden 2010 and is currently working towards her PhD in Iceland. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions and collaborative projects, and held numerous solo exhibitions. Hlynsdóttir has developed an approach to artmaking through practice, which entails bringing to light specific and hidden aspects of phenomena. It entails thinking of artworks and research as vacuums that suck up and help shape what she refers to as shadow materials. Here, she creates a Shadow Material Vacuum using the artwork Concert by Þorvaldur Þorsteinsson (1998), collecting fragments, storylines, and micro-histories from its production, as well as residues…

The subject matter in Bjarnason’s art is Icelandic nature, presented in an abstract way, interlaced with societal issues. He uses various media for his work, either two-dimensional or three-dimensional, even both. The work on the balcony presents a new approach in sculpture where the borders of conception and width have shifted. The sculpture is a part of a series of black rocks, where the abstract form is a criticism of our times with a strong reference to the state of the world in times of war, with the West being completely…

The Russian invasion into Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, marked the beginning of a big trauma for Europe. In this exhibition, war is studied through the eyes of artists from different countries, where art becomes a scene for experience, memories and emotions that are influenced by conflicts. The works evoke pain, fright and a longing for peace, but also show us how war can both divide and unite. Ukrainian artists share stories of pain, hope and persistence, while Icelandic artists mostly reflect on a different experience. French and Danish works evoke memories which can also be based on older refractions, Dutch work connects past and present and a Lithuanian artist reflects on life under constant threats from across the border.

Curated by Erin Honeycutt and Kristín Scheving. True/False Halldór Ragnarsson: Perhaps more so than at any other time in history, the lines between truth and fiction and their representations are blurred. Younger generations now assess the photographic image with the added lens of deciphering if it is made with artificial intelligence or not, whereas previous generations viewed the world with the conviction that photographs were proof of reality, an extension of the lens that the proof is in seeing with the eyes. There exists a long tradition of asemic writing, or illegible, abstract marks that resemble writing but lack specific semantic meaning.

Listasafn Árnesinga
Work from our museum collection. Our experience of landscape lies at the heart of human existence. We live from the land, within it, and upon it. We perceive it, depend on it, and often regard it with a mixture of awe and respect. At the same time, we shape our surroundings, we alter the landscape, exploit its resources, transform it, and claim space within it. At times we feel small and vulnerable in the face of nature's immense forces; at others, we place ourselves above the land we inhabit. Yet regardless of where we are in the world, we remain in constant relationship with the land. It surrounds us, always.
Listasafn Árnesinga
Curated by Erin Honeycutt and Kristín Scheving. Part performance, part video art, part documentary, the artist duo Austur-Íslendingar (East Icelanders) — Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury — board a tour bus on the Golden Circle route with Icelanders as their audience. The bus follows the standard itinerary: Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss. Three sites at the centre of Iceland's self-image, so thoroughly mediated by the tourism industry that to visit them is already to see them twice — once in the flesh, once through the image that preceded the visit. The landscape is both within and in front of us. It has been made before we arrive at it.

The Boreal Screendance Festival is an international dance video festival held in Akureyri. The first festival took place in Mjólkurbúðinn in November 2020, and now it extends its reach throughout Listagilið. Boreal creates a platform for showcasing dance videos, aiming to connect local and international artists, build bridges between continents, and encourage collaboration. The festival features ambitious dance videos from around the world. The works are displayed on large screens, projected onto walls, windows, and other surfaces of the exhibition space, with a strong emphasis on presenting them in a professional environment to ensure the works are experienced at their best. The uniqueness of Boreal lies in installations set up around some of the works, providing them with greater depth and a new dimension. The festival also hosts a diverse…

Now, perhaps more than ever in history, the boundaries between truth and fiction – and their presentation – have become blurred. Younger generations now evaluate photographs with the additional filter of needing to discern whether they were created with artificial intelligence or not, while older generations viewed the world with the conviction that photographs were proof of reality, an extension of the idea that seeing with one’s own eyes was the ultimate proof. There is a long tradition of asemic writing, or illegible abstract signs that resemble written language but carry no specific meaning. It functions as writing without language, a kind of participation in mimicking symbols in one’s own interpretation and conveying truth in one’s own words. Somewhere between these poles lies Halldór Ragnarsson's investigation into the presentation of truth and falsehood in our times. Or rather, a study conducted from within: testing the boundaries of one’s local knowledge and discovering that those boundaries are closer than expected. Halldór Ragnarsson directs this inquiry towards the presentation of language. Language is indeed an image of a collection of symbols that carry a shared meaning. The painter, who works in Reykjavík, explores the relationship between language and painting with words and short sentences as the main material – largely drawn from his diaries – as a series of reflections on how perceived reality withstands embodied experience and perception. Halldór integrates the text directly into the surface of the canvas, allowing language to also function as an image. Repetition plays a key role in his working process. Through repeated writing and layering of words, language gradually shifts from communication to rhythm, texture, and visual form – the word is worn down like a stone polished by currents in water, until what remains is more perception than symbol. This is not so much a dilution as a kind of pressure: the same word written ten times, twenty times, until the reader is no longer sure if they are reading or simply looking. At certain limits of repetition, meaning does not directly disappear but rather detaches from its subject, and something else takes over – something that is closer to the feeling or material reality of the sign itself. The works oscillate between sincerity and ambiguity, exploring how emotional meaning can emerge, dissolve, or transform through repetition. A word written once is a statement. Written often, it becomes a question, a wound, doubt, or texture. Halldór’s paintings investigate the fragile boundaries of reading and vision – where language becomes both a visual structure and a psychological space – and ask how much of the meaning

The opening of the exhibition The Golden Circle by Austur-Íslendingar – Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury – will take place at LÁ Listasafn Árnesinga on Saturday, September 12. On the opening day, the artists will perform live from a bus on the Golden Circle to the museum. The bus will then arrive at the museum where passengers and guests of the exhibition will meet. The Golden Circle The artist duo Austur-Íslendingar – Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury – boards a bus on the Golden Circle with Icelanders as the audience; the project is partly a performance, partly video art, and partly a documentary work. The bus follows a traditional itinerary: Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss. Three locations central to Iceland's identity, so thoroughly conveyed by the tourism industry that a visit to them already entails seeing them twice – once in person, once through the image that existed before the visit took place. The landscape is both within us and in front of us. It has been shaped before we arrive at it. The tour guide's narration is broadcast live to LÁ Listasafn. The bus concludes its journey there, guides and passengers disembark together, and the two groups of viewers – those who traveled and those who watched – finally meet. The footage will become part of the exhibition. In the live broadcast, a third kind of knowledge will emerge. Those sitting in LÁ Listasafn will follow the journey around the Golden Circle as it happens, in real-time, on a screen – which is also the way most of them first became acquainted with it. The delay is not technical but ontological: watching the landscape appear through a camera is to be simultaneously present and absent, a state that seems new but is not. This is the state of all mediated experience, which suddenly becomes legible within the frame. Walter Benjamin wrote that mechanical reproduction deprives the original work of its aura – its presence in time and space – but what the live broadcast offers is even more disturbing: that perception has always been somewhat constructed, that the original has always been a version. The viewer in the museum does not have a lesser experience than the passenger on the bus. They receive a different experience, with a different kind of exclusion. The passenger cannot step outside the script; the witness cannot feel the spray at Gullfoss. Neither has unmediated access to

CONNECTIONS II Women Bridge over Sea and Continents – Connecting Cultural Worlds, Shaping Narratives The works of Birgit Graschopf, Kristín Gunnlaugsdóttir, Sigríður Rut Marrow, Tanja Prušnik, Ramona Schnekenburger, and Hulda Vilhjálmsdóttir share a common ground in their sensitivity to what emerges at the borders of different worlds; between body and landscape, memory and presence, the visible and that which lies beneath the surface. Their works do not arise from a need to describe reality but from a desire to give form to what is difficult to capture with words, feelings, moods, and the experiences that shape our connections to one another. Although the works were not created in direct dialogue, they seem to resonate with each other and form unexpected connections. In the exhibition, the materials play a crucial role. Concrete, sandpaper, fish skin, textiles, color, water, and paper carry the traces of time, movement, and touch. The creative processes of the women artists are characterized by open and exploratory methods where intuition, experimentation, and transformation take the lead. The works emerge in a multi-layered process where form and meaning gradually evolve; like landscapes shaped by weather and time or memories that take on new forms. Iceland and Austria provide an important backdrop in the works, each country with its own history, culture, and nature. Although the countries are geographically distant, a conversation forms between them that is reflected in the works of the women artists and the questions they direct their attention to. The female body is prominent in the works as a space of perception, experience, strength, and vulnerability. It is not primarily an object of representation but a place where connections, memories, and experiences take shape. Nature is also an active participant in the works; the sea, waterfalls, landscapes, and organic forms become echo chambers for emotions, memories, and inner experiences. When the works of these women artists come together, a lyrical conversation emerges about connection, transformation, and what unites people across different backgrounds and experiences. Although the artists work with different media and imagery, the works share a common calm yet impactful presence and evoke what is difficult to put into words. They open spaces for the unsaid and draw forth a fragile yet powerful realm where memories, body, and landscape intertwine. CONNECTIONS II Women Artists: Birgit Graschopf The works of Bir

The exhibition brings together works from different generations where older pieces and new experiments meet, creating a shared space for ideas about existence, belief, and imagination. By reflecting the methods of contemporary artists in esoteric movements such as theosophy, gnosticism, and neo-alchemy, the exhibition forms connections between different realms. The same longing for meaning and purpose that led to the spiritual movements of the past drives contemporary artists today. This longing manifests in their working methods that intertwine scientific fiction, embodied approaches, and religious world-making theories. The works offer possible worldviews, both internal and external, where dreams, rituals, and reflections on life beyond Earth become ways to approach the present in a new manner. The inspiration for the exhibition can be traced back to spiritual and mystical currents that emerged over a century ago, during times of uncertainty and looming world war. That experience resonates in the present, where similar concerns arise. These currents can be seen as precursors to the spiritual emphasis that has recently become prominent in contemporary art, where art has long been a platform to address alienation and a means to seek meaning and fulfillment. The exhibition will be in two parts that approach the subject in different ways. On September 27, the second part of the exhibition opens at Þula, Marshall House, where the focus will be on a careful presentation of completed works. A week later, on October 3, the more experimental

Ásmundarsafn
Echo traces its roots to Selárdalur, where artists working at Listvinnzlan created works in dialogue with the artistic world of Samúel Jónsson. Listvinnzlan is an arts center and professional creative workspace in downtown Reykjavík, where disabled artists create and develop their artistic practice. The exhibition was part of the Reykjavík Arts Festival programme in the summer of 2026. It has now travelled to Ásmundarsafn, where it enters into a new dialogue with the works of artist Ásmundur Sveinsson. New artworks and additional artists have also joined the exhibition. In Selárdalur, a powerful resonance emerged between the artists’ works and Samúel’s creations. Self-taught and working outside the mainstream art world, Samúel followed his own singular vision.
Ásmundarsafn
In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. Sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson worked in different materials. He carved wood, cut stone, shaped clay, transferred forms to concrete, in addition to working with iron and found materials. Many of his best-known works are enlarged and placed in public space around the city. His works were created in relentless experimentation in the studio where he allowed material, content and space work hand in hand. The sculptures are either figurative or abstract, as Ásmundur went through various periods in his artistic creation. In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. We get a sense of what happened behind the scenes in the artist's search for the appropriate completion for the ideas that emerged.

Gallerí Fold
✨Margrét Stefánsdóttir, visual artist, is the honorary artist of Listar án landamæra 2026 and will showcase a selection of her works at a sales exhibition in Gallerí Fold. The exhibition opens on November 14 at 1:00 PM and will run for three weeks. Everyone is warmly welcome! 🟡Accessibility at Gallerí Fold is good. The main entrance is accessible, but the ramp to the restroom on the second floor is steep. ✨Margrét's career in art is unique; she previously worked as a teacher but began to focus on painting after a serious accident that greatly affected her abilities and expressive capacity. However, she has always been very artistic, and before the accident, she studied ceramic art at the Reykjavík School of Visual Arts. ✨Margrét has a strong need to paint, and she has numerous works resulting from years of consistent artistic practice. She has mostly dedicated herself to watercolor painting, developing a personal style and achieving remarkable control over flow and shades in a challenging medium. This journey began about eight years ago, under the guidance of Siggi Vals Sigurðsson, a draftsman: ✨"Some strange luck led me to choose to let Margrét grapple with the unpredictable behavior of watercolors on a well-wet surface of good watercolor paper. She has achieved remarkable results. The works dance on the edge of objective moods of landscapes, often in conflicts of volcanic eruptions, and absolute abstract art where freedom in visual interpretation does not yield to the art of commercial artists. Margrét's skills have steadily matured as she fearlessly allows the colors to burst into one another." ✨Last summer, Margrét participated in the group exhibition Sleppa in the art hall hAughúsi, in Héraðsdal in Skagafirði, organized by the Academy of Perception. The exhibition featured works by seven mother-daughter pairs of female artists. The sisters Margrét and Ragnhildur Stefánsdóttir exhibited alongside their daughters, Lára Margrétardóttir and Ragnhildur Lára Weisshappel. Additionally, Margrét has participated in exhibitions of Listar án landamæra in recent years.

On Saturday, November 14th from 1 PM to 3 PM, Hafnarborg and GETA invite you to a multilingual workshop where participants will learn about Indonesian tradition by making klepon, a sweet made from rice dough that takes on a natural green color from pandan leaves and is filled with palm sugar. The workshop is led by artists Rainy Siagian and Anne Rombach. Participants will gather around one long table to shape, fill, and cook their own klepon. By preparing food together, guests have the opportunity to meet, form connections, and create something collaboratively. The languages of the workshop are Dutch, Icelandic, English, and German. The workshop takes place on the ground floor of the museum and is open to all age groups. No prior experience is required, but children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Traditional Indonesian klepon is naturally gluten-free and vegan. As always, participation in workshops as well as access to the museum's exhibitions is free for guests. "Á mínu máli" is an event series aimed at increasing accessibility for people from diverse backgrounds to Hafnarborg by welcoming guests in different languages. The event is a collaboration between Hafnarborg and the organization GETA, which promotes inclusion and positive multiculturalism through diverse events and community activities. The project is funded by the museum fund. Rainy Siagian (b. 1994) is an artist and scholar, born in Indonesia and raised in Belgium, who currently works in both Brussels and Reykjavík. In her interdisciplinary artistic practice, she engages with questions of space, identity, and belonging through photography, text, spatial approaches, and cooking. Anne Rombach studied photography at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig, Germany, and holds an MA in fine arts as well as a diploma in "Arts and Welfare" from the Iceland Academy of the Arts. She has conducted numerous art workshops in her collaboration with the organization GETA.

A vinyl DJ will take care of the music, and a turntable with headphones awaits those who want to listen before they give in to temptation, while a record cleaning machine is available for those that have seen better days. Records, that is. Sales tables for sellers — everyone brings their own music and payment solution. Good records. Good conversations. Yet another record that you definitely don’t already have.

Píla Pína The Hveragerði Theatre presents the adventurous musical about the unique and adventurous little mouse, Píla Pína, who has the greatest dream of flying. The performance is set up in celebration of the 80th anniversary of Hveragerði and is a wonderful theatre experience for audiences of all ages. The story and adventure of Píla Pína hold a special place in the hearts of many Icelanders and have delighted generations of children. The highlights of the show are the classic poems of Kristján frá Djúpalæk set to the beautiful music of Heiðdís Norðfjörð and Ragnhildur Gísladóttir. The connection to Hveragerði is strong, as the poet Kristján frá Djúpalæk lived in Hveragerði in the middle of the last century and was a significant part of the thriving community of poets and artists that shaped the town. In this new update, all the music has been given a fresh and new arrangement that brings a new shine to this classic work. Author of the lyrics/text: Heiðdís Norðfjörð, based on a tale by Kristján frá Djúpalæk Music: Heiðdís Norðfjörð and Ragnhildur Gísladóttir Play adaptation: Based on the adaptation by Sara Marti Guðmundsdóttir and Sigrún Huldar Skúladóttir Direction: Gunnar Gunnsteinsson Music arrangement: Helgi Fr.

Borgarleikhúsið
When the Troll Stole Christmas will premiere on the Main Stage of the Borgarleikhús in November 2026. When the Troll Stole Christmas is a fantastic musical for the whole family and is well-suited for children aged 4-5 years. The show will last 2 hours with an intermission and will be performed on the Main Stage. This is a major production featuring a large cast of actors and dancers. The Troll lives a lonely life with a heart that is "two sizes too small." He cannot stand Christmas, but in the next town, it is celebrated joyfully with singing, gifts, and treats, much to the Troll's annoyance. One year, he decides to steal Christmas under the cover of night by removing everything that reminds them of it. When Christmas songs are still heard the next morning, the Troll realizes that Christmas is not found in material things - but in the hearts of people. The musical When the Troll Stole Christmas is based on the beloved story by Dr. Seuss from 1957. A Christmas adventure for the whole family! https://www.borgarleikhus.is/syningar/thegar-troelli-stal-jolunum

Welcome to a lecture on the boundaries between visual art and cultural heritage with Ágústa Kristófersdóttir on Saturday, November 14 at 14:00. Paintings, sculptures, embroidery, and various forms of handicrafts are preserved as national cultural heritage and rarely belong in the same premises as visual art, even though these works are no less a part of the history of visual arts in Iceland. The lecture will discuss how Icelandic visual artists, both past and present, have drawn from cultural heritage and utilized it in their works. It will also raise the question of whether the distinction between cultural heritage and visual art is always beneficial and what impact it has on our understanding of Icelandic visual art history. Ágústa Kristófersdóttir is the director of the National Museum of Iceland's collection and holds a degree in history and museum studies from the University of Iceland. She has worked in the museum sector for over a quarter of a century, with museums in both cultural heritage and visual arts. Attached is a composite image of a chest by Bóla Hjálmar and a headpiece by Valgerður Briem.

Møller and Hustru Chastine Mc-Kinney Møllers Fond til almene Formaal (A.P. Møller Fonden), and the Letterstedtska föreningen provided travel grants for foreign speakers. Abstracts: Guðvarður Már Gunnlaugsson: Charters, manuscript scribes, and language changes This lecture will discuss charters and their usefulness for research on language history and manuscripts. Charters are generally brief and follow a formal style, meaning they adhere to a specific formula regarding the beginning and end and the arrangement of content. This concise form has led to their limited use in research on Icelandic language history, given that there are hundreds of Icelandic manuscripts from the Middle Ages and thousands from later centuries, making the need to study charters linguistically less pressing. In contrast, researchers of Faroese language history have had to rely on charters, as there are no other written sources regarding the Faroese language in the Middle Ages. The lecture will also address the advantages and disadvantages of charters in manuscript research and the important fact that charters, unlike manuscripts, are usually dated

What transfers from the wooden plate to the paper can be difficult to control, but I value the handmade and imperfect. I see the wooden plates as independent works but use the paper to achieve depth and take away the hand control. The works I am showing here have been created either outdoors in nature or during specific times at Korpúlfsstöðum, Eyrarbakki, and at the graphic workshop of Edvard Munch in Ekely, Oslo.” Soffía Sæmundsdóttir (b. 1965) has been active in Icelandic art life for many years and is known for her paintings on wooden plates. She studied graphic arts at the Iceland Academy of the Arts and earned an MFA in painting from Mills College in Oakland, California, from 2001 to 2003. She has held numerous solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions both domestically and internationally. She has been an artist-in-residence at various locations, including Leighton Studios at Banff Center in Canada and Kunstkvarteret in Stamsund, Norway, as well as a workshop resident at the graphic workshop of Edvard Munch in Ekely, Oslo, in November 2025. She has participated in countless collaborative projects and received numerous accolades for her work. Soffía states that when a person is painted into a landscape, it gains history and meaning. It evokes emotions, and time becomes significant. In recent years, she has focused more on her own story and

Ásmundarsafn
Echo traces its roots to Selárdalur, where artists working at Listvinnzlan created works in dialogue with the artistic world of Samúel Jónsson. Listvinnzlan is an arts center and professional creative workspace in downtown Reykjavík, where disabled artists create and develop their artistic practice. The exhibition was part of the Reykjavík Arts Festival programme in the summer of 2026. It has now travelled to Ásmundarsafn, where it enters into a new dialogue with the works of artist Ásmundur Sveinsson. New artworks and additional artists have also joined the exhibition. In Selárdalur, a powerful resonance emerged between the artists’ works and Samúel’s creations. Self-taught and working outside the mainstream art world, Samúel followed his own singular vision. His story remains deeply relevant today. Disabled artists possess distinctive and compelling artistic voices, yet they continue to face barriers within the art scene. At Ásmundarsafn, the conversation continues, now in close proximity to the works of Ásmundur, who likewise created a unique world where art, architecture and environment converge. Curator Margrét M.

You are warmly welcome to my exhibition. There is something about the vastness. The lines in the mountains. The colors. The stillness.

I look forward to welcoming you, chatting, and showing you my works. Exhibition opening November 14, 2026 (15:00-18:00) Where: Beitunni á Breið, Akranes. (Right by Akranes Lighthouse).

This is a funny adventure story about friendship, full of action and humor! Matthildur Yrsa Sigurðardóttir was eleven years old when the natural disasters in Grindavík began. In the book "Síðasti dagurinn," she shares her experience in collaboration with Þórunni Rakel Gylfadóttir, illustrated by Didda Flygenring. For this work, they received the Sólfaxa, the Icelandic Children's Book Award, in 2026. ✂️ After the reading, there will be crafts for all the kids. Admission is free and everyone is welcome! The event is supported by the Suðurnes Development Fund.
Esjan
The annual Ljósafoss descent from the slopes of Esja will take place on Saturday, November 14, 2026😍 In recent years, Ljósið has enjoyed invaluable support from Sjóvá in preparing and executing the hike. Last year, Sjóvá doubled its support for Ljósið, and we are so lucky that they plan to do it again this year, contributing 2,000 kr for each person who shows up at Esjurætur. Heartfelt thanks to Sjóvá🩷 ✨We encourage everyone who can to join us!✨ Admission is free💛 We will meet at the parking lot by Esja at 15:30 and set off at 16:00 towards Steinn. From there, we will walk down with our headlamps on, creating a beautiful Ljósafoss just as darkness falls. With our steps, we raise awareness of the important work of Ljósið, which is a rehabilitation center for cancer patients and their families. Þorsteinn Jakobsson, the mountain guide, will lead the hike as in previous years, and the rescue team Kjölur will be on site🏃🏼♂️ We encourage all hiking groups and mountain enthusiasts to lace up their hiking boots and help us make Ljósið shine🌞 We look forward to seeing you!🥰

Garðatorg
Welcome to the opening of an exhibition of works by architect Jes Einar Þorsteinsson (1934-1924). Jes Einar designed a number of buildings, mostly in the fields of sports and healthcare. Among his more well-known works are the Skeiðalaug in Brautarholt and the healthcare center and music school in Seltjarnarnes. Jes Einar's uniqueness is evident in his approach to spatial design. Unlike many contemporary architects who worked in the spirit of modernism, where open plans with visible structures were common, Jes Einar focused more on the very formation of space itself. The structure followed afterward. With such an approach, the appearance of the buildings is broken up, and openings occur in unexpected places. The works show clear brutalist influences. Jes Einar's use of raw concrete can be traced back to his studies in France and his interest in Le Corbusier, whom he mentioned among his favorite architects, alongside Tadao Ando and Steven Holl. The exhibition features seven different projects that reflect the main authorial characteristics of the architect. Exhibition curators: Haukur Hafliði Nínuson and Katrín Heiðar Photography: Marinó Thorlacius The exhibition received funding from the Museum Fund. The registration of Jes Einar's works received funding from the Student Innovation Fund.

Light refreshments will be served, and signed books will be available at a special price!

She holds a mysterious story but is now the host of a children's program and lives a quiet life. When her sister, Dýrfinna, fears that their mother has taken an inappropriately young boyfriend, the foundations of the family shake. An ominous ancestral presence also looms over the sisters, inherited through the female line, with stories of it dating back centuries. A THOUSAND MOTHER'S CHILDREN is an artistically woven and original family saga from a mysterious time, where some people are born under the open sky while others are destined to live in the cliffs.

Þjóðleikhúsið
A fairytale, ballet-exorcism, stand-up, piano concert, and cleansing inferno. Cinde (f******) rella, or Ösku fjandans buska, by Erna Ómarsdóttir, Halla Ólafsdóttir, and Saga Kjerúlf Sigurðardóttir is a work in progress set to the music of Prokofiev. On stage, three dancers and two pianists lead us into a chaotic search for hope while we love to hate being forced into one-dimensional forms. Or shoes. This attempt to tell the story from the perspective of Cinderella’s stepsisters invites us into the cellar of the National Theatre as dancing narrators, bringing us the fairytale where cruelty, beauty, vanity, humor, and desperation of the imperfect human soul emerge. Cinde(f******)rella invites the audience into a world where effort and ecstasy nourish each other, where exertion creates beauty, and the darkness of the fairytale is just as important as its light. At its core, Cinde(f****)rella is a lively and unruly blend of ballet-exorcism and piano concert where the familiar fairytale serves as a portal into something strange, darker, and more human. Halla Ólafsdóttir is a choreographer and dancer who graduated with a master's degree in choreography from SKH (formerly DOCH) and from the dance program at the Ballet Academy in Stockholm. The merging of high and low culture is central to Halla's artistic work and is characteristic of her pieces. She often draws on well-known references from art, pop culture, and dance, exploring what happens when placed in a new context. Halla has showcased her own works widely in Sweden and internationally. Her works include the Romeo & Julia cycle (2018–2024), created with the Iceland Dance Company, Ballet Basel, and Gertnärplatsteater, Sylph (2023) with Cullberg, Beauty & The Beast (2011–2025), Bitchcraft (2017–2025), and The Knife (2013-2014). Erna Ómarsdóttir is an Icelandic choreographer and dancer who graduated from P.A.R.T.S. (Performing Arts Research and Training Studios) in 1998. In her works, she explores extreme physical expression, vocalization, and raw emotional states through what she calls her “Ballet Exorcism” methodology. She has performed and presented her works internationally, touring extensively across Europe and beyond. Her works include, among others, the Romeo & Julia cycle (2018–2024), We Saw Monsters (2021), Sacrifice (2017), a collaboration with Matthew Barney, Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, and Ragnar Kjartansson, Dies Irae (2017), created with Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, and IBM 1401 – A User’s Manual (2006), created with Jóhann Jóhannsson. Saga Kjerúlf Sigurðardóttir is a performance artist who engages equally in co-creation, choreography, and the role of a dancer. She studied dance and choreography at ArtEZ University of the Arts in the Netherlands, later completing a BA in Theology from the University of Iceland and an MFA in Performing Arts from the Iceland University of the Arts in 2017. In addition to leading her own projects as a choreographer, she has worked as a co-creator and performer in numerous projects with performance and art groups such as Marmarabörnum, 16 elskendum, the Iceland Dance Company, The Post Performance Blues Band, Erna Ómarsdóttir & Shalala, Gjörningaklúbburinn, and others. Choreography and direction: Erna Ómarsdóttir, Halla Ólafsdóttir, and Saga Kjerúlf Sigurðardóttir Dancers: Erna Ómarsdóttir, Halla Ólafsdóttir, and Saga Kjerúlf Sigurðardóttir Musicians: Erna Vala Arnardóttir and Romain Þór Denuit Music: Sergei Prokofiev The performance is part of the Reykjavík Dance Festival program.

Samkomuhúsið
A bittersweet contemporary play about the comedic jungle of the housing market. Arnrún needs to find a new roof over her head after an unexpected breakup. Unable to move back in with her parents and disillusioned with the rental market, she decides to buy her first apartment. What follows is a bittersweet and absurd journey through the jungle of bankers, real estate agents, and creditors. This work serves as a sharp and humorous mirror to the reality of young people today, where character creation in the spirit of Sex and the City meets Kafka's absurd world. The play, written by Lithuanian playwright Gabrielė Labanauskaitė, was awarded the best foreign play at Germany's largest playwriting festival in 2021. Director and translation: Adolf Smári Unnarsson Set design and costumes: Brynja Björnsdóttir Music: Jóhannes Damian R.

The Unbearable Lightness of Football Þorleifur Aron, called Doddi, a divorced man in his fifties, and Óli Gunnar, his younger brother, meet to watch all the Manchester United games together on the sofa. The games of the English team are the constant that gives their lives color, but also the time they can spend together and find peace from the hustle and bustle of the day. During the game, their emotions run wild, and through the game, they find an outlet, while their excessive drinking is justified. On this particular Saturday, as the play unfolds, Benedikt Hafberg, the new boyfriend of Doddi's ex-wife, along with the singer Valdimar, unexpectedly joins the group to watch the game. The tension on and off the field increases accordingly, leading to an unpredictable series of events that spans 90 minutes. Just like on the field, anything can happen in the world of football. The Unbearable Lightness of Football is a show for everyone who loves and hates football.

Græni Hatturinn
X 97.7 presents: 35 years have now passed since the founding of the British band OASIS in Manchester, England. The band released seven albums between 1994 and 2008 but disbanded in 2009 after a series of incidents between the band's frontmen, brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher. The band reunited last year and went on a world tour, with fewer able to attend than wanted, to say the least. Many Icelanders were left disappointed, as the band has never played in Iceland throughout their career. A group of Icelandic musicians and fans of the band have therefore come together and plan to perform all of the band's best songs with flair at Græni Hatturinn in Akureyri, Silfurtunglið in the East Side of Reykjavik, and at Bæjarbíó in Hafnarfjörður. Everything will be put into the performances, raised high, and sung.

MYRKRAEYJA – Dance Party, Performances & DJ / SHADOWS We all feel it. It's cold outside but boiling hot inside. Come to the city and warm up with us at the closing party of the Reykjavík Dance Festival. Expect a sizzling, mesmerizing dance atmosphere on the edge of heat and cold. What do we do with our bodies? Move? Shake? Adorn ourselves? Listen? Kanema and Luis will showcase dance, music, and performance culture that often lands on the fringes but will now take center stage on a November evening at Austurbæjarbíó. Where heat meets cold, a kind of stew will be cooked, spiced with dance, mystique, music, and ambiguity with a dash of chaos. Kanema and Luis unite through a passion for music from different parts of Africa. They have strong roots and a personal connection to the continent and have over the years found a common language in music, dance, and performance. As the DJ duo Choconilla & DJ Lui, they have created a shared soundscape where amapiano, afrobeat, pop, and other influences converge. They are not necessarily seeking perfect execution but rather something that happens in the space: atmosphere, energy, connection, and freshness. From this shared soundscape and interest in the body, music, and what can happen when people come together, the closing party of the Reykjavík Dance Festival is born. The evening draws on what happens when music, body, and people start to move together. Ritualistic, powerful, sometimes mesmerizing, strange, and unpredictable. Here, we are not necessarily looking for the perfect or polished but for a feeling and energy that we all need to release. The dance party is part of the Reykjavík Dance Festival program. The festival schedule can be found at https://www.reykjavikdancefestival.com/

Each group meets once a week for five weeks and concludes the course with a performance at the Dance Workshop. No dance experience is necessary, and everyone is welcome. The course costs 24,900. Sessions are on Saturdays, October 17th - November 15th. Each session lasts nearly 2 hours. 8 - 10 years meet at 10:00 AM 11 - 13 years meet at 12:00 PM 14 - 16 years meet at 2:00 PM Registration here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScna0I0XmURAWLNdsdWCAdhHHzX4neu0PXWE65a3F5q6J8X5g/viewform?usp=header Location: Dance Workshop, Hjarðarhaga 47, 107 Reykjavík Contact: info@dansverkstaedid.com
Dillon
When the clock strikes midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, Andrea Jónsdóttir takes over the decks at Dillon, as she has done almost every weekend for more than two decades. She is Dillon’s resident DJ and a true Reykjavík institution. Known across Iceland as the “rokkamma,” the grandmother of rock, Andrea has presented music on RÚV’s Rás 2 since 1984 and was awarded the Order of the Falcon in 2018 for her work championing Icelandic and international popular music. Expect rock the way it should be played: classics, deep cuts, and the odd surprise, picked by someone who has heard it all and still loves it. Grab a whisky, find a spot near the booth, and stay until closing.
Ölhúsið Hafnarfirði

What do we carry with us that did not start with us? When was the last time you felt that you were enough, exactly as you are? We live in a world where we are constantly demanding more from ourselves. To do more, to perform better, to be stronger, more diligent, and to meet the expectations of others. But what if you didn’t have to prove anything? You are enough. Just as you are. On Sunday, November 15, we invite you to the 9D Breathwork journey You Are Enough, which focuses on self-love, self-compassion, and connecting with your own worth. In this journey, you will have the opportunity to: ✨ Explore and release limiting beliefs about yourself ✨ Soften self-criticism and doubts about your own value ✨ Cultivate self-compassion, acceptance, and self-love ✨ Connect with your own strength and what makes you unique ✨ Give space to your emotions and find greater inner peace 9D Breathwork is a unique breathing experience where breath, music, soundscapes, and guided voice intertwine. You lie comfortably on a mat with an eye mask and headphones. In the headphones, a voice guides you through the breath, along with music and guidance reminiscent of a blend of meditation and hypnosis. This way, you can shut out the environment and immerse yourself in your own journey. The session lasts about 74 minutes and includes active breathing, breath holds, and emotional expression before ending with a calming segment. No prior experience is necessary, and each person's experience is different.

Lystigarðurinn, Akureyri
Date with the Past Outdoor Photography Exhibition Photography Exhibition It is a long-standing tradition for us ÁLFkonur to set up a new photography exhibition in the Botanical Garden at the beginning of summer. For each exhibition, we choose a specific theme to work with. This time, it was decided to dedicate the exhibition to the 100th anniversary of the Icelandic Photographers' Association, which is this year. The founding meeting was held in 1926, attended by 18 photographers, most of whom worked in Reykjavík. It is worth mentioning that among this group were 3 women. The idea arose to work with 100-year-old photographs from Akureyri that are preserved at the Regional Museum. We each worked individually and tried to find the spot where the photographer might have stood when taking the picture. Once the location was found, we set up our cameras and clicked away. A lot has changed in the town over 100 years, and it was often very difficult to capture good images as buildings or tree growth obscured the view. It was therefore pleasantly surprising to see that even though much has changed, there are still buildings that can be seen in these old photographs. ÁLFkonur are in their 16th year of operation, and this exhibition is the fifteenth in the Botanical Garden. The participating ÁLFkonur this time are: Agnes H. Skúladóttir, Berglind H. Helgadóttir, Guðný Pálína Sæmundsdóttir, Gunnlaug E. Friðriksdóttir, Hafdís G. Pálsdóttir, Halla S. Gunnlaugsdóttir, Helga H. Gunnlaugsdóttir, Hrefna Harðardóttir, Inga Dagný Eydal, Kristjana Agnarsdóttir, Lilja Guðmundsdóttir, Linda Ólafsdóttir, Margrét Elfa Jónsdóttir. We warmly invite you to enjoy and hope you have fun going on this "Date with the Past" with us. The exhibition runs until spring 2027 and is open during the opening hours of the Botanical Garden in Akureyri. The event calendar for the Arts Summer can be found at listasumar.is.
Mokka kaffi
The exhibition by Louise Harris "12 Women" opens at Mokka on October 29 and runs until December 2. In previous exhibitions, I have discussed paintings in relation to my place in the world. Am I a foreign woman painting with watercolors, or am I an Icelandic woman? For some reason, this question has been at the forefront of my mind as I continue to paint and paint. And sometimes I feel like I should stop painting. I find myself a project that influences the painting, while it distracts me from it or simply gives me space to gain a little distance and even perspective, if that is something I could ever understand. Louise Harris is a painter currently working with watercolors and textiles. She holds a BFA from Oxford University and an MFA from Goldsmiths University. She has exhibited in Iceland, Finland, Great Britain, Japan, and Canada. She was born on the Isle of Sheppey, grew up in South England, and now lives and works in Reykjavik. The exhibition is a sales exhibition and runs until December 2, open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM. Everyone is welcome!
Norræna húsið
Architecture is all around us, even if we do not always notice it. The buildings and spaces we inhabit shape our daily lives, how we move, play, work, and interact with one another. But how does design and architecture affect us? What kind of homes do we want to live in? Do we need different spaces for different activities, and what makes a good space? In Alvar Aalto’s designs, human beings were always the priority, and children were no exception. In his plans and layouts, Aalto took children and their needs into account. His work reminds us that children have a right to a good daily life and an environment that considers their needs. The exhibition is based on the book Kurjen Kartta (Crane’s Map – Adventure in the Forest of the Aaltos) by Reetta Niemelä, featuring beautiful illustrations
Norræna húsið
EXHIBITION CATALOGUE This exhibition explores the relationship between the human body and Aalto buildings through the work of contemporary artists Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI) and Ilona Sagar (UK). The artists have spent extended periods in the buildings, living in them, talking to the people who worked in them, and incorporating the spaces into their own artistic practice. Artists: Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI) och Ilona Sagar (UK). Curator: Sabina Westerholm Ilona Sagar, still from Other Actors, 2025 Across these works, the buildings are approached as more than static objects: the body and the building form a symbiotic relationship, each shaping the other and carrying the traces and memories of the other. Through the artists’ own bodies, as well as through real and i
Edinborgarhúsið
The voice is at the center of the work. A voice that continues, breathes in and out, hesitates, repeats itself, and never quite falls silent. The inspiration comes from the novel The Unnamable by Irish author Samuel Beckett, where the characters have vanished and only the voice remains. During his stay in the Westfjords, French artist Tanguy Bret has worked with this voice through drawings, handwriting, graphics, and installations. The work springs from a precise investigation of the text but evolves into material forms that capture time, thoughts, and repetitions. On November 14 and 15 from 10 AM to 5 PM, the artist, the voice, and the guest will meet in Bryggjusal at Edinborgarhúsið. The story is still taking shape and continues to grow, just like the voice itself. Tanguy Bret is a French artist based in Bourges (18000).

Hafnarhús
Erró is one of the few Icelandic artists who has gained a foothold in the international art scene. The Reykjavik Art Musem houses the most extensive collection of Erró's works and exhibitions from the Erró collection are a regular fixture at the Hafnarhús site of the Reykjavík Art Museum, with the purpose of giving as clear an image as possible of the diverse character of the artist's works. This exhibition is a comprehensive overview of the artist's colourful career that has made use of various media in the visual arts. Within it you will find everything from performances, video works, graphics, multiples and collages, to larger works in public spaces and paintings of all scales.
Hafnarhús
The exhibition will feature exclusively works from the collection of Bunkier Sztuki, which houses one of the strongest collections of Polish contemporary art in Europe. The exhibition will include photographs, paintings, sculptures, and installations by thirty artists from Poland. The body is at the forefront of the exhibition, which brings together works created predominantly in the 21st century, a period marked by rapid social change, technological advancement, and evolving ideas about the body, identity, and existence. The exhibition directs attention to the body as a living process rather than a fixed entity. It is shaped by environment, technology, social norms, and histories, and is always in relation to other bodies, other lives, and other worlds.
Kjarvalsstaðir
In this exhibition, you can see artworks by Icelandic artists that span approximately six decades following the turn of the 20th century. These works extend across the period during which the painter Jóhannes S. Kjarval was active. In examining Kjarval's journey, and comparing it to the works of his contemporaries, it is possible to see the various ways art changes and evolves. The prevailing spirit of each era is reflected in differing shifts in style, and the artworks provide insight into the artists' inspirations, their surroundings and circumstances. Initially, a romantic view of nature predominated, but symbolism soon after made its way into the narrative, and the first steps were taken towards breaking away from naturalistic imagery. Kjarval was born in 1885 and died in 1972.
Kjarvalsstaðir
Hrafnkell Sigurðsson is the tenth artist selected for the Reykjavík Art Museum’s exhibition series at Kjarvalsstaðir, which highlights the careers of key figures in Icelandic art. Each artist is chosen for their unique contribution and specialization in terms of media, methods, and subject matter. This positioning is reflected in the presentation of key works from different periods in the West Gallery, accompanied by a catalogue that places the artist’s career in the context of art history and the present day. Hrafnkell’s works often highlight contrasts – between order and chaos, culture and nature. He draws attention to how human systems confront natural decay, revealing beauty in what is often overlooked: rubbish, worn surfaces, and the transience of everyday life.
The World of Icelandic Music
Experience the extraordinary story of Icelandic music in a new exhibition by the main entrance of Harpa Concert Hall. How did a nation with hardly any instruments for centuries come to produce artists who captivate the world? A multilingual audio guide and vivid visuals tell the story, and the whole family can pick up the baton and try to keep the beat in a game with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Open daily 10:00–19:00.

We are: People in bodies that respond with a nervous system and organs and gather information. Minds that experience, interpret, analyze, form opinions, and create stories. Souls that possess great wisdom, know other realms, and can connect with others through energy. And with our souls, we can also connect to the wisdom of the Universe, the spirit, which is always available to us if we just open ourselves to listen to it (The Unity). This workshop will therefore be a blend of our expertise and an absolutely amazing experience that you won’t want to miss 🙏 The workshop will run from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Schedule: 10:00 Breathing Journey - Working with the nervous system and mind. 11:30 Relaxation - A lovely calm after a powerful start to the day. 12:00 Lunch Break - where everyone brings their own food or can grab something nearby, as there is plenty of variety available. 1:00 Mind and Nervous System - A light-hearted lecture to gain a deeper understanding of our bodies as responses in our daily lives. 2:00 The Soul, Earthly Life, and Spirit - An even lighter lecture about us in the spiritual realm. 3:00 Discussion Circle and Healing Exercises. The workshop costs only 15,000 ISK, and it is essential to register by sending a message to one of us. There are only 20 spots available, so it’s best to act quickly and sign up.

This workshop series is supported by Heilsueflandi Dalvíkurbyggð and is for all interested and curious individuals who are ready to get to know or deepen their knowledge of themselves! We will do our best to make the sessions accessible for both Icelandic and English-speaking individuals. This free session aims to introduce Yoga Nidra to the people of Dalvík, calming individuals' central nervous systems along with other benefits. Yoga Nidra is a powerful relaxation and meditation technique that affects the central nervous system and helps relax the body, both internally and externally. The central nervous system is the main hub of conscious and unconscious behavior, including automatic and involuntary actions. This technique allows you to maintain awareness while entering the dream state where significant healing occurs. A powerful way to reduce stress and process trauma. They will also introduce various self-empowerment tools to use in daily life. The tools are designed to help individuals connect with themselves and can assist in processing symptoms of post-traumatic stress. These sessions are designed so that you can attend just one or all of the sessions, as it suits you. The sessions last 90 minutes each, with the first 60 minutes dedicated to yoga and 30 minutes for a workshop where various self-empowerment tools are taught and then practiced. In yoga, we will engage in breathing exercises, gentle yoga poses, and conclude with Yoga Nidra to prepare the mind and soul for the self-empowerment workshop. Participants are encouraged to listen to themselves and follow their inner impulses. Each individual will discover what enhances their well-being to take with them into life. About

In the Hands of the Military The War Years in Akureyri and Eyjafjörður Through the Eyes of Soldiers and Locals In the Hands of the Military discusses the presence of British, American, Norwegian, and Canadian soldiers in Eyjafjörður during World War II. On May 17, 1940, the coast guard ship Ægir docked in Akureyri, a week after the occupation of Reykjavik. On board were 40 seasick soldiers who occupied Eyjafjörður. Following this, thousands of soldiers filled nearly twenty military camps in Akureyri or nearby areas. A defensive line was drawn around Hrísey, and mines were laid in the sea. Eyjafjörður was truly in the hands of the military. This is the subject matter of the exhibition In the Hands of the Military, which is based on photographs, films, and contemporary stories from soldiers and locals, along with artifacts, maps, and various other items. The stories in the exhibition depict the contrasting worlds of soldiers and locals, which sometimes become comical in the clashes of foreign cultures.

She has participated in numerous group exhibitions and collaborative projects, and held numerous solo exhibitions. Hlynsdóttir has developed an approach to artmaking through practice, which entails bringing to light specific and hidden aspects of phenomena. It entails thinking of artworks and research as vacuums that suck up and help shape what she refers to as shadow materials.

He has exhibited his work in Iceland and abroad and has won prizes and recognitions for his visual art. The subject matter in Bjarnason’s art is Icelandic nature, presented in an abstract way, interlaced with societal issues. He uses various media for his work, either two-dimensional or three-dimensional, even both. The work on the balcony presents a new approach in sculpture where the borders of conception and width have shifted. The sculpture is a part of a series of black rocks, where the abstract form is a criticism of our times with a strong reference to the state of the world in times of war, with the West being completely…

By examining colors and forms one can learn a lot about visual art. Arranging forms on a picture plane or in a sculpture creates an artwork. Forms can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, organic or geometric, in diverse colors and textures. Colors are often used to arouse emotions and create an atmosphere. They can also be used as symbols, but people’s interpretations of colors can vary a lot, which is influenced by their background as well as context and culture. The aim of the exhibition is to get museum guests to ponder on the meaning of colors and forms in visual arts, based on selected works from Akureyri Art Museum’s collection. The works are diverse and created with different materials and methods. Guests are also invited to participate in the exhibition by creating their own…

The Russian invasion into Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, marked the beginning of a big trauma for Europe. In this exhibition, war is studied through the eyes of artists from different countries, where art becomes a scene for experience, memories and emotions that are influenced by conflicts. The works evoke pain, fright and a longing for peace, but also show us how war can both divide and unite. Ukrainian artists share stories of pain, hope and persistence, while Icelandic artists mostly reflect on a different experience. French and Danish works evoke memories which can also be based on older refractions, Dutch work connects past and present and a Lithuanian artist reflects on life under constant threats from across the border. Together the works show us how art can mirror, process and…

Curated by Erin Honeycutt and Kristín Scheving. True/False Halldór Ragnarsson: Perhaps more so than at any other time in history, the lines between truth and fiction and their representations are blurred. Younger generations now assess the photographic image with the added lens of deciphering if it is made with artificial intelligence or not, whereas previous generations viewed the world with the conviction that photographs were proof of reality, an extension of the lens that the proof is in seeing with the eyes. There exists a long tradition of asemic writing, or illegible, abstract marks that resemble writing but lack specific semantic meaning.

Curated by Erin Honeycutt and Kristín Scheving. Part performance, part video art, part documentary, the artist duo Austur-Íslendingar (East Icelanders) — Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury — board a tour bus on the Golden Circle route with Icelanders as their audience. The bus follows the standard itinerary: Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss. Three sites at the centre of Iceland's self-image, so thoroughly mediated by the tourism industry that to visit them is already to see them twice — once in the flesh, once through the image that preceded the visit. The landscape is both within and in front of us. It has been made before we arrive at it.

A dream returns as a ghost, the financial collapse is recalled from the perspective of a twelve-year-old child, a comet travels through the solar system during the exhibition period, and at the opening, visitors receive a souvenir of an event that has barely begun. Four artists take part in Attendance, each working with performance in a different way. The works stretch between past, present and future, into the sky and the subconscious, where past events are recalled and become unexpected moments through the interaction between artists and audiences.

Work from our museum collection. Our experience of landscape lies at the heart of human existence. We live from the land, within it, and upon it. We perceive it, depend on it, and often regard it with a mixture of awe and respect. At the same time, we shape our surroundings, we alter the landscape, exploit its resources, transform it, and claim space within it. At times we feel small and vulnerable in the face of nature's immense forces; at others, we place ourselves above the land we inhabit. Yet regardless of where we are in the world, we remain in constant relationship with the land. It surrounds us, always.

CONNECTIONS II Women Bridge over Sea and Continents – Connecting Cultural Worlds, Shaping Narratives The works of Birgit Graschopf, Kristín Gunnlaugsdóttir, Sigríður Rut Marrow, Tanja Prušnik, Ramona Schnekenburger, and Hulda Vilhjálmsdóttir share a common ground in their sensitivity to what emerges at the borders of different worlds; between body and landscape, memory and presence, the visible and that which lies beneath the surface. Their works are not created out of a need to describe reality but from a desire to give form to what is difficult to capture with words, feelings, moods, and the experiences that shape our connections to one another. Although the works have not come into being through direct dialogue, they seem to resonate and form unexpected connections with each other. In the exhibition, the materials play a significant role. Concrete, sandpaper, fish skin, textiles, color, water, and paper carry the traces of time, movement, and touch. The working processes of the female artists are characterized by open and exploratory methods where intuition, experimentation, and transformation take the lead. The works are created in a multi-layered process where form and meaning gradually evolve; like a landscape shaped by weather and time or memories that take on new forms. Iceland and Austria provide an important backdrop in the works, each country with its own history, culture, and nature. Although the countries are geographically distant, a dialogue is formed between them that is reflected in the works of the female artists and the questions they direct their attention to. The female body is prominent in the works as a space of perception, experience, strength, and vulnerability. It is not primarily an object of representation but a place where connections, memories, and experiences take shape. Nature is also an active participant in the works; the sea, waterfalls, landscapes, and organic forms become echo chambers for emotions, memories, and inner experiences. When the works of these female artists come together, a lyrical conversation emerges about connections, transformation, and what unites people across different backgrounds and experiences. Although the artists work with different media and imagery, the works share a common quiet yet impactful presence and evoke what is difficult to put into words. They open a space for the unsaid and bring forth a fragile yet powerful realm where memories, body, and landscape intertwine. CONNECTIONS II Women Artists: Birgit Grasch
Rut’s gallery
Now, perhaps more than ever in history, the boundaries between truth and fiction – and their presentation – have become blurred. Younger generations now evaluate photographs with the added filter of needing to discern whether they were created with artificial intelligence or not, while older generations viewed the world with the conviction that photographs were proof of reality, an extension of the idea that seeing with one’s own eyes was itself the proof. There is a long tradition of asemic writing, or illegible abstract symbols that resemble writing but carry no specific meaning. It functions as writing without language, a kind of participation in mimicking symbols in one’s own interpretation and conveying truth in one’s own words. Somewhere between these poles lies Halldór Ragnarsson's research on the presentation of truth and falsehood in our times. Or rather, research conducted from within: testing the limits of one’s own local knowledge and discovering that those limits are closer than expected. Halldór Ragnarsson directs this inquiry towards the presentation of language. Language is indeed an image of a collection of symbols that carry a shared meaning. The painter, who works in Reykjavík, explores the relationship between language and painting with words and short sentences as the main material – mostly drawn from his diaries – as a series of reflections on how perceived reality withstands embodied experience and perception. Halldór integrates the text directly into the surface of the canvas, allowing language to also function as an image. Repetition plays a key role in his working process. Through repeated writing and layering of words, language gradually shifts from communication into rhythm, texture, and visual form – the word is worn down like a stone polished by currents in water, until what remains is more perception than symbol. This is not precisely a dilution but a kind of pressure: the same word written ten times, twenty times, until the reader is no longer sure whether they are reading or simply looking. At certain limits of repetition, meaning does not disappear directly but detaches from its subject, and something else takes over – something that stands closer to the feeling or material reality of the sign itself. The works oscillate between sincerity and ambiguity, exploring how emotional meaning can arise, dissolve, or transform through repetition. A word written once is a statement. Written often, it becomes a question, a wound, doubt, or texture. Halldór’s paintings investigate the fragile boundaries of reading and vision – where language becomes both a visual structure and a psychological space – and ask how much of the meaning resides
Listasafn Árnesinga
The opening of the exhibition The Golden Circle by Austur-Íslendingar – Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury – will take place at LÁ Listasafn Árnesinga on Saturday, September 12. On the opening day, the artists will perform live from a bus on the Golden Circle to the museum. The bus will then arrive at the museum where passengers and guests of the exhibition will meet. The Golden Circle The artist duo Austur-Íslendingar – Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury – boards a bus on the Golden Circle with Icelanders as spectators; the project is partly a performance, partly video art, and partly a documentary work. The bus follows a traditional itinerary: Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss. Three locations at the core of Iceland's identity, so thoroughly conveyed by the tourism industry that a visit to them already entails seeing them twice – once in person, once through the image that existed before the visit took place. The landscape is both within us and in front of us. It has been shaped before we arrive at it. The narration of the tour guide is broadcast live to LÁ Listasafn. The bus concludes its journey there, guides and passengers step out together, and the two groups of spectators – those who traveled and those who watched – finally meet. The footage will become part of the exhibition. In the live broadcast, a third kind of knowledge will emerge. Those sitting in LÁ Listasafn will follow the journey around the Golden Circle as it happens, in real-time, on a screen – which is also the way most of them first became acquainted with it. The delay is not technical but ontological: watching the landscape appear through a camera is to be both present and absent, a state that seems new but is not. This is the state of all mediated experience, which suddenly becomes legible within the frame. Walter Benjamin wrote that mechanical reproduction robs the original work of its aura – its presence in time and space – but what the live broadcast offers is even more disturbing: that perception has always been somewhat constructed, that the original has always been a version. The spectator in the museum does not have a lesser experience than the passenger on the bus. They receive a different experience, with a different kind of exclusion. The passenger cannot step outside the script; the witness cannot feel the spray at Gullfoss. Neither has unmediated access
Listasafnið á Akureyri
Three artists meet in a group exhibition, working with nature as a material, inspiration and dialogue. Páll á Húsafelli forms his works in stone and paints on ice, material that carries with it stories of the land and the spirit that lives in every vein of leaves or rocks. Lene Zachariassen, who is originally from Norway but lives in Iceland, works in harmony with natural materials where soft threads and texture become a dialogue between hand and organic material. In María Tórgarð’s video to music by &Bartal, movement, sound, water and light are braided into poetic meditation on existence and origin. The three artists all work with nature’s spirit through deep sensitivity and respect. Together they form both a visible and invisible connection to nature, not least the sensitive and living…

Nordic noir: kas slypi tamsoje? Kuo traukia tamsusis Šiaurės šalių detektyvas? Niūriais kraštovaizdžiais, nerimą keliančiomis nusikaltimų istorijomis, netobulais veikėjais, nepatogiomis tiesomis apie visuomenę? Kitame mūsų knygų klubo susitikime pasinersime į Šiaurės šalių noir pasaulį: aptarsime išskirtinę šio žanro atmosferą, jo tarptautinį populiarumą ir tai, kaip kriminalinė literatūra gali paskatinti pažvelgti giliau ir atskleisti tamsesnes žmogaus prigimties bei visuomenės puses. Taip pat kalbėsimės apie savo, kaip skaitytojų, ribas. Kada tamsos tampa per daug? Ar nerimą keliančios istorijos padeda geriau suprasti pasaulį, o gal kartais peržengia ribą? Kviečiame ir aistringus kriminalinės literatūros skaitytojus, ir tuos, kurie tiesiog smalsauja, kas slypi Šiaurės šalių noir tamsoje. Susitinkame Perlan kavinėje trečiąjį lapkričio sekmadienį, 15 d., 12:00 val.

KONUKROPPAR returns to Sundhöll Hafnarfjarðar!!! The work has been a hit and has surprised audiences both here in Iceland and abroad!! Join us as Sundhöll Hafnarfjarðar transforms into a theater. The relationship between the body and water is explored in a boiling work that lies on the borders of dance and performance art. What is the difference between a partially clothed body and a fully clothed body? What is the difference between movements in water and out of water? The work is an ode to the body, in all its power; folds, wrinkles, orange peel skin, goosebumps, softness, smooth lines, bare areas. In the water. Coldcoldcoldcoldcold. SHAKE SKIN SHAKE HIPS SHAKE BREASTS I run on the slippery pool deck. Running is prohibited. Goosebumps. Where did all this gravel come from? I hold my stomach/breasts, can’t wait to get into the 39° hot water. Ahhh I release my grip on my abdominal muscles and breathe lightly. I am ready... -no wait, you here? The actresses, dancers, and singers Snædís Lilja Ingadóttir and Sigríður Ásta Olgeirsdóttir form the performance group Gleym-mér-ei. They love working in a large studio where they can dance and run around. They work a lot with improvisation, following their intuition and chasing the flow in the creative process. At the end of the week, it is an absolute must to toast with good sparkling wine and reflect on the week. Konukroppar is their first work but definitely not their last! Creators and performers: Snædís Lilja Ingadóttir, Sigríður Ásta Olgeirsdóttir Women’s choir: Graduale Nobili The performance is part of the Reykjavík Dance Festival program. The festival schedule can be found at https://www.reykjavikdancefestival.com/

Ásmundarsafn
Echo traces its roots to Selárdalur, where artists working at Listvinnzlan created works in dialogue with the artistic world of Samúel Jónsson. Listvinnzlan is an arts center and professional creative workspace in downtown Reykjavík, where disabled artists create and develop their artistic practice. The exhibition was part of the Reykjavík Arts Festival programme in the summer of 2026. It has now travelled to Ásmundarsafn, where it enters into a new dialogue with the works of artist Ásmundur Sveinsson. New artworks and additional artists have also joined the exhibition. In Selárdalur, a powerful resonance emerged between the artists’ works and Samúel’s creations. Self-taught and working outside the mainstream art world, Samúel followed his own singular vision.
Ásmundarsafn
In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. Sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson worked in different materials. He carved wood, cut stone, shaped clay, transferred forms to concrete, in addition to working with iron and found materials. Many of his best-known works are enlarged and placed in public space around the city. His works were created in relentless experimentation in the studio where he allowed material, content and space work hand in hand. The sculptures are either figurative or abstract, as Ásmundur went through various periods in his artistic creation. In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. We get a sense of what happened behind the scenes in the artist's search for the appropriate completion for the ideas that emerged.

Borgarleikhúsið
When the Troll Stole Christmas will premiere on the Main Stage of the Borgarleikhús in November 2026. When the Troll Stole Christmas is a fantastic musical for the whole family and is well-suited for children aged 4-5 years. The show will last 2 hours with an intermission and will be performed on the Main Stage. This is a grand production featuring a large cast of actors and dancers. The Troll lives a lonely life with a heart that is "two sizes too small." He cannot stand Christmas, but in the next town, it is celebrated joyfully with singing, gifts, and treats, much to the Troll's annoyance. One year, he decides to steal Christmas under the cover of night by removing everything that reminds people of it. When Christmas songs are still heard the next morning, the Troll realizes that Christmas does not lie in material things - but in the hearts of people. The musical When the Troll Stole Christmas is based on the ever-popular Dr. Seuss story from 1957. A Christmas adventure for the whole family! On selected dates, a fun Christmas ball will be offered after the show, with Santa Clauses keeping the party going. The Christmas ball will take place in the foyer of the Borgarleikhús and will start immediately after the performance. Light refreshments are included in the Christmas ball. https://www.borgarleikhus.is/syningar/thegar-troelli-stal-jolunum
Árbær Open Air Museum
Árbær was an established farm well into the 20th century, and the museum opened there in 1957. Árbær is now an open-air museum with more than 20 buildings which form a town square, a village and a farm. Most of the buildings have been relocated from central Reykjavik. The Museum seeks to give an idea of Reykjavik's architecture and way of life in the 19th and 20th centuries. Each house contains an independent historical exhibition or a typical home from a specific period. The museum also houses old-fashioned workshops on typical facilities, technology, and tools.

The performance is held in celebration of the 80th anniversary of Hveragerði and offers a wonderful theatrical experience for audiences of all ages. The story and adventures of Píla Pína hold a special place in the hearts of many Icelanders and have delighted generations of children. The highlights of the show feature the classic poems of Kristján frá Djúpalæk set to the beautiful music of Heiðdís Norðfjörð and Ragnhildur Gísladóttir.

In this new adaptation, all the music has been given a fresh and new arrangement that brings a new shine to this classic work.

Kjarvalsstaðir
In our children's guided tours, we explore and experience art together through play and creative activities. Hrafnkell’s works often highlight contrasts – between order and chaos, culture and nature. He draws attention to how human systems confront natural decay, revealing beauty in what is often overlooked: rubbish, worn surfaces, and the transience of everyday life. Though his works frequently emerge from inorganic environments, he manages to evoke a deep connection to the human body. His art is at once poetic and conceptual, yet also charged with a mysterious and almost magical energy. Admission with museum ticket. Free for Annual pass- and Culture Card holders, free for visitors under 18.

On Sunday, November 15 at 14:00 and 16:00, Lappalúðakvæði (Lappa, not Leppa!) by Reverend Hallgrímur Pétursson will be performed at Hvalsnes Church in Suðurnesjabær. We primarily know Hallgrím Pétursson as a hymn poet, but he also wrote numerous secular poems that are less known. Among them is Lappalúðakvæði, which he composed while he was a priest at Hvalsnes. In Lappalúðakvæði, Hallgrímur has a conversation with Lappalúði, who seeks his children for Grýla, who lies crippled in a cave. In addition to Lappalúðakvæði, songs from several other secular works by Hallgrímur will also be performed. Hörður Bragason has composed music for Lappalúðakvæði, which consists of 53 stanzas. The performers, alongside Hörður in the role of Hallgrímur, are Pétur Eggerz as Lappalúði and Magnea Tómasdóttir as Guðríður Símonardóttir, Hallgrímur's wife. Children from the primary and music school in Sandgerði will appear as 17th-century children in Suðurnes. Steinunn Eldflaug, Katrín Oktavía, Steingrímur Starri, and Bragi Zar are the children of Hallgrímur and Guðríður. Pétur Eggerz Pétursson plays Skröggur, whom Lappalúði had before he met his wife, and Iðunn Gígja Kristjánsdóttir is the Yule Cat. Guðmundur Sigurðsson plays the church organ, Sighvatur Ómar Kristinsson (Músíkvatur) plays bass, and Eiríkur Stephensen plays percussion, clarinet, and theremin. Ingibjörg Azíma plays the trombone.

Þjóðminjasafn Íslands
The National Museum of Iceland offers exciting events every Sunday during the winter and spring months. On the first Sunday of the month, there is a program for children and families, while on other Sundays, experts provide guided tours of the museum's exhibitions. On the last Sunday of the month, the expert tour is conducted in a foreign language. Ágústa Kristófersdóttir, the director of the National Museum's collection, will guide guests through the exhibition The Wedding Dress – with a Story in the Luggage. She tells stories about the people who owned the dress, wore it, and then took it abroad. What was life like for Icelandic aristocrats in the 18th century? The wedding dress belongs to the women of the Stephensen family, who at that time became one of the most powerful and wealthy families in the country. The matriarch, Sigríður Magnúsdóttir, wore part of it at the wedding of Ólafur Stefánsson, later the governor, in 1761. Their elder daughter, Þórunn, received part of the dress as a dowry in 1780 when she married Bishop Hannes Finnsson. The dress then passed to Ragnheiður, the younger sister of Þórunn. The dress was considered so exquisite that when foreign guests arrived, it was brought out and shown to them, with some finding the attire peculiar. The entrance ticket to the museum is valid for the event. Please note that the entrance ticket is equivalent to an annual pass to the museum and grants access to all events and exhibitions organized by the museum upon presentation of the card. Admission is free for children up to 18 years old.

Flowers come in a variety of colors, scents, and shapes, but how are these characteristics connected to the animals that visit them? At this fun family event, we will explore the close relationship between flowers and pollinators and follow the journey of pollen from one flower to another. We will also discover how this tiny grain plays an important role in the formation of seeds and fruits – including many that we eat. A team of biologists from the University of Iceland, led by Judith Trunschke, will guide guests into the diverse world of flowers and pollinators. We will examine what is hidden inside flowers, take a look at pollen under a microscope, and try to match flowers with their pollinators. Live bumblebees and a bumblebee nest will be on site, and guests can take on the role of a pollinator and create their own flowers to take home. The event takes place at the exhibition of the Nature History Museum, Water in the Nature of Iceland, on the 2nd floor of Perlan. Everyone is welcome! Admission is free.

The concert will feature original mantras and meditations about Hope and Love, as well as well-known mantras like Om Mani Padme Hum, and the beautiful theme Eilífðarsól. Other songs and lyrics, which are in Icelandic, also reflect courage and expression, repetitions, and the simple yet often candid vocabulary of children at this age. 💚 The Yoga Center holds a special place in Harpa's heart, as she spent many hours there practicing prenatal yoga, mommy yoga, and both of her children have attended kids' yoga classes there. 🍃 Harpa is a mother of two and has been involved in music for many years, but she also works in performing arts and is a lawyer and yoga teacher by education. 🧘♂️ Harpa founded and runs the project Yoga Vegferð together with her husband, Árn Kristjánsson, who is also a yoga nidra teacher. Under Yoga Vegferð, the couple releases guided meditations, bedtime stories, mindfulness exercises, lullabies, and other calming content to bring yoga and meditation into the everyday journey of children and youth, as well as adults. Ungi is the first album released under the Yoga Vegferð label, and a children's book with a QR code linking to selected songs from the album is also in the works, which Bókabeitan will publish. 🪆 Alongside Harpa, the artists Dísa Hreiðarsdóttir and Íris Þórarins will perform at the concert, who also work in mantras and spiritual soundscapes. They have been with Harpa throughout her music creation, sound journeys, and performances, particularly with their band Grúska Bab

You are warmly welcome to my exhibition. There is something about the vastness. The lines in the mountains. The colors. The stillness. Over the years, I have drawn inspiration from Icelandic nature, in the mountains, heaths, and highlands. From that experience, images are created that draw on the grand scale of the land, the wilderness, the light, and the power that characterize Icelandic nature. I look forward to welcoming you, chatting, and showing you my works. Exhibition opening on November 14, 2026 (15:00-18:00) Where: Beitunni á Breið, Akranes. (Right by Akranes lighthouse).

The exhibition features three skirts made by her, all adorned with colorful flowers embroidered in flower embroidery. Guðrún made a living from sewing and teaching crafts in her Annríki in Viðeyjarstofu and was posthumously honored with the title "Mother of Flowers." In the cross-stitch gathering, participants will gain insight into the craft world of their foremothers by stitching flowers onto wool fabric with colorful, plant-dyed thread. We will come together, learn from each other, and enjoy leaving our marks in Guðrún's flower garden. 🧵Shared Craft Instruction in flower embroidery will be provided, and all materials will be available on-site; wool fabric with printed patterns, plant-dyed thread, and needles. Experienced craftspeople from Annríki – National Costumes and Adornments will guide and assist participants. The embroidery will be completed on-site and will remain in the museum. Finally, the embroidered pieces will be assembled into skirts that carry the marks of all participants. For those who wish to continue sewing at home, cross-stitch kits with flower embroidery will be available for sale in the museum shop. Admission to the museum is valid for the event. Please note that an admission ticket is equivalent to an annual pass for the museum and thus provides access to all events and exhibitions for a year from the date of purchase. Admission is free for children up to 18 years old.

This series of performative actions and interventions departs from the urgent, unsettled question: What does it mean to be “of color”? By weaving together traces of past works with new performative experiments, the working group opens a collective space where ghosts are summoned and portals opened. The work is an invitation to remain with the discomfort of racialization while moving towards futures that imagine Blackness as processes of becoming—fluid, multiple, and ever-expanding. A decolonial and speculative practice where Blackness can be dreamt and re-dreamt. For more than a decade, Sonya Lindfors has been working with the thematics of Blackness and Black body politics, interrogating questions of power and representation both on and off stage, while actively practicing imagining furthe

Hvalsneskirkja
Lappalúði at Hvalsnes Church We primarily know Hallgrím Pétursson as a hymn poet, but he also composed numerous secular poems that are less well-known. Among them is the Lappalúði poem, which he wrote while he was a priest at Hvalsnes. In the Lappalúði poem, Hallgrímur has a conversation with Lappalúði, who is seeking his children for Grýla, who lies crippled in a cave. In addition to the Lappalúði poem, songs will also be performed based on several other secular works by Hallgrímur. Hörður Bragason has composed music for the Lappalúði poem, which consists of 53 stanzas. Performers, alongside Hörður in the role of Hallgrímur, include Pétur Eggerz, who interprets Lappalúði, and Magnea Tómasdóttir, who sings the role of Guðríður Símonardóttir, Hallgrímur's wife. Children from the Sandgerði primary and music school will appear as 17th-century children in Suðurnes. Steinunn Eldflaug, Katrín Oktavía, Steingrímur Starri, and Bragi Zar are Hallgrímur and Guðríður's children. Pétur Eggerz Pétursson plays Skröggur, whom Lappalúði had before he met his wife, and Iðunn Gígja Kristjánsdóttir is the Yule Cat. Guðmundur Sigurðsson plays the church organ, Sighvatur Ómar Kristinsson (Músíkvatur) plays the bass, and Eiríkur Stephensen plays percussion and clarinet. Ingibjörg Azíma plays the trombone and Theremin.

When the Troll Stole Christmas will premiere on the Main Stage of the Borgarleikhús in November 2026. When the Troll Stole Christmas is a fantastic musical for the whole family and is well-suited for children aged 4-5 years. The show will last 2 hours with an intermission and will be performed on the Main Stage. This is a grand production featuring a large group of actors and dancers. The Troll lives a lonely life with a heart that is "two sizes too small." He cannot stand Christmas, but in the next town, it is celebrated joyfully with singing, gifts, and treats, much to the Troll's dismay. One year, he decides to steal Christmas under the cover of night by removing everything that reminds them of it. When Christmas songs are still heard the next morning, the Troll realizes that Christmas does not lie in worldly things - but in the hearts of people. The musical When the Troll Stole Christmas is based on the ever-popular story by Dr. Seuss from 1957. A Christmas adventure for the whole family! On selected dates, a fun Christmas ball will be offered after the show, and the Yule Lads will keep the festivities going. The Christmas ball will take place in the foyer of the Borgarleikhús and will begin immediately after the performance. Light refreshments are included in the Christmas ball. https://www.borgarleikhus.is/syningar/thegar-troelli-stal-jolunum

The work Heyrðu mig is inspired by the life of dancer Diljá Sveinsdóttir, who was born with limited hearing but underwent cochlear implantation as a child. Since then, she has forged a path as a professional dancer and artist. Sveinbjörg Þórhallsdóttir is the choreographer of Heyrðu mig and is also Diljá's mother. The dance piece tells the story of Diljá's journey from childhood to the present day, where struggle, perseverance, life, and art flow into movement, rhythm, and body. The dance piece is performed within a set design by Jóní Jónsdóttir, which is based on the ear itself, the cilia, and the cochlea. Urður Hákonardóttir creates the music and soundscape, and Kjartan Darri Kristjánsson provides the lighting. Sveinbjörg Þórhallsdóttir is a choreographer who explores the connections between inner perception and physical expression in her works. She completed her dance education in New York and holds a master's degree in choreography from Fontys University in the Netherlands. Her artistic creation is based on the search for sincerity in movement, for the truth that emerges where time, perception, and presence meet. Through meditation and a deep connection to the body's inner perception, she creates conditions where movements can arise in a sincere and organic manner, shaped by the dancer's experiential world and experience. Sveinbjörg has worked widely in the field of dance and performing arts, both in Reykjavík and internationally, receiving numerous nominations and awards for her works. She is one of the founders of the Reykjavík Dance Festival (2002) and the Dance Workshop (2010). From 2011 to 2021, she held the position of professor and head of contemporary dance at the Iceland Academy of the Arts.

In Their Footsteps Concert and Story Evening This summer, the concert In Their Footsteps was held at the Black Box in Hof in Akureyri to great acclaim and nearly a full house. Now, audiences in Reykjavík have the opportunity to experience this special evening of music and storytelling. During the concert, we follow the paths of artists who made their voices heard and used music to express hopes, protests, desires for freedom, and human experiences. Between songs, there are short narratives that connect the stories of composers and performers such as Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, and more. The program spans jazz, blues, folk, and pop music, guiding the audience through different eras and various struggles for visibility, freedom, and justice. It features stories of Black artists, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals who have impacted society through their music. The concert is also a personal journey where original songs connect the stories to the present and ask what these voices can still teach us today. Thus, these are not traditional concerts but a musical narrative about courage, empathy, visibility, and hope. Performers Helga Margrét Clarke – vocals Aðalheiður Þorsteinsdóttir – piano Róberta Andersen – guitar Ingibjörg Elsa Turchi – electric bass Þorsteinn Jónsson – percussion The event is supported by the Icelandic Women's Rights Association.

Þjóðleikhúsið
Notes on Spitting is an expanded reading based on a text by Dani Blanga Gubbay, exploring the relations between dance and choreography, sex and pornography. Blending theory and fiction, the text traces a 24-hour journey through the worlds of dance, moving between Susan Sontag’s novel The Volcano Lover and works by Maria Hassabi and Alex Baczyński-Jenkins. In the expanded reading, voice, sound and a saliva-inducing cocktail extend the text into a live encounter, exploring the possibility of thinking dance as a corroding gesture—like saliva spat onto a stain to dissolve it—capable of softening some categories of perception. Daniel Blanga Gubbay is a writer and performing arts curator. He was part of the artistic direction of Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels (2018–2026). He has worked as an educator and independent curator of performance and public programmes, including for the performance programme of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo (2025). He holds a PhD from the University of Palermo and is among the founding members of Celador, a space for experimenting with language in Brussels, as well as a member of the artistic committee of Beirut Art Center. He writes across theory and fiction, publishing in various contexts, sometimes under the name Dani—a personal, night name—following a lineage of artists and writers who use a diminutive to signal intimacy, experimentation, and a shift in tone, their signature becoming a voice more than a label. Notes on Spitting will be published in early 2027. Written and read by Dani Blanga Gubbay Originally commissioned and published in Mousse Magazine (issues 91–94). The expanded reading includes drawings by Alina Popa (1982–2019), references to Maria Hassabi, nora chipaumire and Alex Baczyński-Jenkins, sound created by Krzysztof Bagiński, and images from Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Querelle (1982). The performance is part of the Reykjavík Dance Festival program. The festival program can be found at https://www.reykjavikdancefestival.com/

Much Ado About Nothing Much Ado About Nothing is a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare. The soldiers have returned to Messina, and the love entanglements quickly begin. Beatrice and Benedick exchange witty banter but seem to agree on one thing: they will never fall in love, especially not with each other! Meanwhile, love blossoms between Hero and Claudio, but their happiness is suddenly threatened when rumors spread. Much Ado About Nothing is a hilarious play about love, misunderstandings, and deception. The play has been performed with great popularity around the world, including on Broadway, and has had a significant impact on contemporary storytelling. Now, directors Kristín Þorsteinsdóttir and Sigríður Halla Eiríksdóttir join forces to give Helgi Hálfdánarson's translation of this classic work a fresh perspective.

Frank stands with two plastic bags in the foyer of his luxurious apartment and Katarína. In one bag are new shoes, in the other the ashes of his mother, who is to be buried the next day. Frank's brother and sister-in-law are expected, but they cancel their visit. To lighten the oppressive atmosphere, the couple invites their neighbors over. What follows is drinking and chaos, which opens old wounds and unleashes suppressed desires. The result is an unforgettable wake, with unclear rules, dark humor, and amusing incidents. In the roles of Frank and Katarína are Hilmir Snær Guðnason and Vala Kristín Eiríksdóttir, while their neighbors are played by Haraldur Ari Stefánsson and Íris Tanja Flygenring.

EPICLOGUE presents beginnings, tales, histories and forms new myths. Through the idea of invulnerability, Epiclogue carves out space for the queer body to be strong, visible, and dominant. The performance examines what it requires—or perhaps costs—to take up space that is granted to others. EPICLOGUE challenges restrictive mindsets surrounding the queer body and responds to what it means to exist as queer in a cis-heteronormative society. The project's ambition is to render queer bodies visible in ways we ourselves haven't seen before. By rejecting the role of the vulnerable, we fantasize about a speculative reality where familiar norms no longer exist. We search for possibilities in the meeting point between what is and what could have been. In EPICLOGUE, intimate encounters emerge, where bodies find courage and will through love, care, and trust in one another. We navigate through a universe in which we lay claim to uncharted ground, a physical and emotional landscape where bodies unite and envelop one another in boundless invincibility. Køteren og Terrieren (NO/DK) is an artistic duo composed of Bjørk-Mynte Paulse (she/her), a Danish artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Jonathan Ibsen (he/him), a Danish artist based in Oslo, Norway. Their artistic interest lies in challenging and questioning societal norms. Through the lens of a trans woman of color and a white homosexual man, they examine the world we live in and aim to contextualize challenges surrounding gender, sexuality, and identity. With curiosity and an untamed approach, their ambition is to engage, challenge, and create dialogue. With choreography as a tool, they attempt to re-stage the reality we inhabit, to find alternative spaces where stories, narratives, and futures can unfold in new ways. They are interested in the intersection between what is and what could have been. Their work explores how intimate experiences and understandings can collapse and reemerge in contexts that do not follow traditional understandings and notions of time. By deconstructing, rebuilding, and rewriting the “known,” they attempt to create space for speculations that themselves can take on tangible physical forms. They are committed to creating art that dares to bring urgent contemporary issues to the forefront. Through their work, they strive to break down barriers and foster a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics that shape our identities and society. Their work is an invitation to participate in a reflection and dialogue around the structures that define and limit us, in the aim of opening up for new possibilities.

In the heart of Paris, a small room will become a melting pot of new art. Opera 27 tells the captivating love story of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, two women who created a home, community, and refuge for the leading artists of the twentieth century. There, Picasso, Matisse, and Hemingway meet before the world knows their names – and within the walls, passion, ambition, friendship, and ideas clash, destined to change the history of art. Ricky Ian Gordon and Royce Vavrek weave together music, humor, and a poignant narrative in an accessible contemporary opera about love that survives war, conflict, and the heavy burden of time.

The Real Estate Martyrdom A bittersweet contemporary play about the comical jungle of the housing market. Arnrún needs to find a new roof over her head after an unexpected breakup. She cannot move back in with her parents, is not pleased with the rental market, and decides to buy her first apartment. What follows is a bittersweet and absurd journey through the jungle of bank employees, real estate agents, and lenders. This work serves as a sharp and humorous mirror to the reality of young people today, where character creation in the spirit of Sex and the City meets the absurd world of Kafka. The play, written by Lithuanian playwright Gabrielė Labanauskaitė, was awarded the best foreign play at Germany's largest playwriting festival in 2021. Director and translation: Adolf Smári Unnarsson Set and costume design: Brynja Björnsdóttir Music: Jóhannes Damian R.

Lystigarðurinn, Akureyri
Date with the Past Outdoor Photography Exhibition Photography Exhibition It has been a long-standing tradition for us ÁLFkonur to set up a new photography exhibition in the Botanical Garden at the beginning of summer. For each exhibition, we choose a specific theme to work with. This time, we decided to dedicate the exhibition to the 100th anniversary of the Icelandic Photographers' Association, which is this year. The founding meeting was held in 1926, attended by 18 photographers, most of whom worked in Reykjavík. It is worth noting that among this group were 3 women. The idea arose to work with 100-year-old photographs from Akureyri preserved at the Heritage Museum. We each worked individually and tried to find the spot where the photographer might have stood when taking the picture. Once the location was found, we set up our cameras and clicked away. A lot has changed in the town over the past 100 years, and it was often very difficult to capture good photos as buildings or tree growth obscured the entire view. It was therefore pleasantly surprising to see that even though much has changed, there are still buildings that can be seen in these old photographs. ÁLFkonur are in their 16th year of operation, and this exhibition is the fifteenth in the Botanical Garden. The participating ÁLFkonur this time are: Agnes H. Skúladóttir, Berglind H. Helgadóttir, Guðný Pálína Sæmundsdóttir, Gunnlaug E. Friðriksdóttir, Hafdís G. Pálsdóttir, Halla S. Gunnlaugsdóttir, Helga H. Gunnlaugsdóttir, Hrefna Harðardóttir, Inga Dagný Eydal, Kristjana Agnarsdóttir, Lilja Guðmundsdóttir, Linda Ólafsdóttir, Margrét Elfa Jónsdóttir. We warmly invite you to enjoy and hope you have fun going on this "Date with the Past" with us. The exhibition runs until spring 2027 and is open during the opening hours of the Botanical Garden in Akureyri. The event calendar for Art Summer can be found at listasumar.is.

Mokka kaffi
The exhibition by Louise Harris "12 Women" opens at Mokka on October 29 and runs until December 2. In previous exhibitions, I have discussed paintings in relation to my place in the world. Am I a foreign woman painting with watercolors, or am I an Icelandic woman? For some reason, this question has been at the forefront of my mind as I continue to paint and paint. And sometimes I feel like I should stop painting. I find myself a project that influences the painting, while it distracts me from it or simply gives me space to gain a little distance and even perspective, if that is something I could ever understand. Louise Harris is a painter currently working with watercolors and textiles. She holds a BFA from the University of Oxford and an MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London. She has exhibited in Iceland, Finland, Great Britain, Japan, and Canada. She was born on the Isle of Sheppey, grew up in South England, and now lives and works in Reykjavík. The exhibition is a sales exhibition and runs until December 2, open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM. Everyone is welcome!
Kjarvalsstaðir
In this exhibition, you can see artworks by Icelandic artists that span approximately six decades following the turn of the 20th century. These works extend across the period during which the painter Jóhannes S. Kjarval was active. In examining Kjarval's journey, and comparing it to the works of his contemporaries, it is possible to see the various ways art changes and evolves. The prevailing spirit of each era is reflected in differing shifts in style, and the artworks provide insight into the artists' inspirations, their surroundings and circumstances. Initially, a romantic view of nature predominated, but symbolism soon after made its way into the narrative, and the first steps were taken towards breaking away from naturalistic imagery. Kjarval was born in 1885 and died in 1972.
Hafnarhús
The exhibition will feature exclusively works from the collection of Bunkier Sztuki, which houses one of the strongest collections of Polish contemporary art in Europe. The exhibition will include photographs, paintings, sculptures, and installations by thirty artists from Poland. The body is at the forefront of the exhibition, which brings together works created predominantly in the 21st century, a period marked by rapid social change, technological advancement, and evolving ideas about the body, identity, and existence. The exhibition directs attention to the body as a living process rather than a fixed entity. It is shaped by environment, technology, social norms, and histories, and is always in relation to other bodies, other lives, and other worlds.
Hafnarhús
Erró is one of the few Icelandic artists who has gained a foothold in the international art scene. The Reykjavik Art Musem houses the most extensive collection of Erró's works and exhibitions from the Erró collection are a regular fixture at the Hafnarhús site of the Reykjavík Art Museum, with the purpose of giving as clear an image as possible of the diverse character of the artist's works. This exhibition is a comprehensive overview of the artist's colourful career that has made use of various media in the visual arts. Within it you will find everything from performances, video works, graphics, multiples and collages, to larger works in public spaces and paintings of all scales.

Kjarvalsstaðir
Hrafnkell Sigurðsson is the tenth artist selected for the Reykjavík Art Museum’s exhibition series at Kjarvalsstaðir, which highlights the careers of key figures in Icelandic art. Each artist is chosen for their unique contribution and specialization in terms of media, methods, and subject matter. This positioning is reflected in the presentation of key works from different periods in the West Gallery, accompanied by a catalogue that places the artist’s career in the context of art history and the present day. Hrafnkell’s works often highlight contrasts – between order and chaos, culture and nature. He draws attention to how human systems confront natural decay, revealing beauty in what is often overlooked: rubbish, worn surfaces, and the transience of everyday life.

They live here and there on the shelves of the adult section, just like last time. The houses and places you need to look for are ten in total, and the books referenced are both by Icelandic and foreign authors. As before, you will receive information on how to search, and then you will be given multiple choice questions and need to find the right answer. One of the questions is a kind of “where are” question – you’ll figure out for yourselves what kind of riddle that is. All the locations are marked with a number. You can get everything you need at the reception desk. Join in and take part in Story World on your own, with friends or with your family! Everyone is welcome! Further information: Sigrún J.

Welcome to the opening of the exhibition In the Spirit of Christmas on November 15th from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM at the Árbær City Library. Step out of the Christmas stress that comes with the holidays and let the Christmas spirit envelop you. 🎄✨ In the exhibition In the Spirit of Christmas, we will count down to Christmas from December 1st to 24th. The display will feature artworks painted with watercolors on round watercolor paper, and none of them are alike. Originally, the calendar started as an experiment by the artist Alma to step out of the holiday hustle and take time to enjoy the moment. The project is an encouragement to live in the present and reflect on the place and time during the busiest season of the year. It is safe to say that Alma achieved her goal as family and friends followed the daily unveiling of the artworks on social media. This culminated in a complete calendar that is now on display at the Árbær City Library. Alma Sigrún Sigurgeirsdóttir began painting at Ljósið while undergoing rehabilitation treatment after being diagnosed with cancer. Ljósið is a rehabilitation and support center for people diagnosed with cancer and their relatives. Her old interest in painting was rekindled when Alma attended numerous courses at Ljósið, including in visual arts and art therapy. Alma has also completed two courses in watercolor painting with the artists Guðmundur Ármanni Sigurjónsson and Ragnar Hólm. Merry Christmas! 🎄✨ The exhibition runs until January 10th and is open during the library's opening hours.

In the Hands of the Army The War Years in Akureyri and Eyjafjörður Through the Eyes of Soldiers and Locals In the Hands of the Army discusses the presence of British, American, Norwegian, and Canadian soldiers in Eyjafjörður during World War II. On May 17, 1940, the patrol vessel Ægir docked in Akureyri, a week after the occupation of Reykjavik. On board were 40 seasick soldiers who occupied Eyjafjörður. Following this, thousands of soldiers filled nearly twenty military camps in Akureyri or nearby areas. A defensive line was drawn around Hrísey, and mines were laid in the sea. Eyjafjörður was truly in the hands of the army. This is the subject matter of the exhibition In the Hands of the Army, which is based on photographs, films, and contemporary stories from soldiers and locals, along with artifacts, maps, and various other items. The stories in the exhibition depict the contrasting worlds of soldiers and locals, which sometimes become comical in the clashes of foreign cultures.

She has participated in numerous group exhibitions and collaborative projects, and held numerous solo exhibitions. Hlynsdóttir has developed an approach to artmaking through practice, which entails bringing to light specific and hidden aspects of phenomena. It entails thinking of artworks and research as vacuums that suck up and help shape what she refers to as shadow materials. Here, she creates a Shadow Material Vacuum using the artwork Concert by Þorvaldur Þorsteinsson (1998), collecting fragments, storylines, and micro-histories from its production, as well as residues…

Páll á Húsafelli forms his works in stone and paints on ice, material that carries with it stories of the land and the spirit that lives in every vein of leaves or rocks. Lene Zachariassen, who is originally from Norway but lives in Iceland, works in harmony with natural materials where soft threads and texture become a dialogue between hand and organic material. In María Tórgarð’s video to music by &Bartal, movement, sound, water and light are braided into poetic meditation on existence and origin. The three artists all work with nature’s spirit through deep sensitivity and respect. Together they form both a visible and invisible connection to nature, not least the sensitive and living…

By examining colors and forms one can learn a lot about visual art. Arranging forms on a picture plane or in a sculpture creates an artwork. Forms can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, organic or geometric, in diverse colors and textures. Colors are often used to arouse emotions and create an atmosphere. They can also be used as symbols, but people’s interpretations of colors can vary a lot, which is influenced by their background as well as context and culture. The aim of the exhibition is to get museum guests to ponder on the meaning of colors and forms in visual arts, based on selected works from Akureyri Art Museum’s collection. The works are diverse and created with different materials and methods. Guests are also invited to participate in the exhibition by creating their own…

The Russian invasion into Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, marked the beginning of a big trauma for Europe. In this exhibition, war is studied through the eyes of artists from different countries, where art becomes a scene for experience, memories and emotions that are influenced by conflicts. The works evoke pain, fright and a longing for peace, but also show us how war can both divide and unite. Ukrainian artists share stories of pain, hope and persistence, while Icelandic artists mostly reflect on a different experience. French and Danish works evoke memories which can also be based on older refractions, Dutch work connects past and present and a Lithuanian artist reflects on life under constant threats from across the border. Together the works show us how art can mirror, process and…

Echoes of Transformation: Out into the Garden Charlotte's artistry is characterized by precise material handling Echoes of Transformation: Out into the Garden Charlotte Søeborg Ohlsen (b. 1970) is a Danish visual artist and designer who graduated in graphic design from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. In her works, she explores the boundaries of visual art, design, and craftsmanship, with paper playing a key role both as a material and a method. In recent years, she has developed metal artworks and created site-specific installations where nature, architecture, and the environment become active participants in the meaning-making of the works. Charlotte's artistry is marked by precise material handling and research into transformation. Each piece emerges from a single sheet that is cut and folded without glue, turning a simple surface into a multifaceted form. Insects are a guiding motif in her works, referencing both the delicate balance of ecosystems and the continuous cycles of growth, transformation, and decline. When these forms are transferred into brass or aluminum, the transformation continues, as the surface of the metal gradually changes under the influence of climate and time. The exhibition Echoes of Transformation: Out into the Garden is a site-specific installation that spans two distinct spaces: the Akureyri Art Museum and the Akureyri Botanical Garden. It is conceived as a single cohesive work that leads the viewer from the inner space of the museum out into the expansive garden. In the museum, insects made of black paper appear to have settled on windows, walls, and within the space itself. In the Botanical Garden, similar forms take on a new identity as sculptures made of brass and aluminum, where nature becomes an active participant in the development of the works, which are scattered throughout. Weather, light, and seasons shape the surface of the metal, making time a visible material. Thus, the viewer's journey between the museum and the garden becomes part of the work itself, where the boundaries between architecture and landscape, nature and culture, the fragile and the permanent become blurred.

Edda
On Icelandic Language Day, there will be a short program at Edda to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the website málid.is. The event will include highlights about the origins, usage, and development of the website over the past decade, as well as information on new features and several databases that have recently been added. Halldóra Jónsdóttir, the dictionary editor and the main driving force behind the project from the beginning, will be honored on this occasion. Finally, a well-known user will share their experience with Málið. The goal of Málið has always been to facilitate electronic searches for data and information about the Icelandic language and its usage, both past and present. With a simple and standardized web access, available information from various databases about the searched word is presented. Since its inception, Málið has received excellent feedback from users. When the President of Iceland, Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, officially opened the website on Icelandic Language Day in 2016, it contained seven databases, which have now grown to nearly thirty.

Here, clear words can be understood: The Icelandic Language and Identity On the Day of the Icelandic Language, November 16th at 12 PM, Kristján Hannesson, a literary scholar, will guide guests through the exhibitions of the National Museum of Iceland and pause at artifacts that touch upon the history of the Icelandic language from the beginning of settlement to the present day. We will particularly examine how the Icelandic language and literature developed in close relation to religion, printing, and cultural currents in Europe. People pieced together the hidden ancient verses of the skalds during the Viking Age, danced forbidden round dances, and sang revolutionary hymns during the Reformation. They listened intently to rímur during the Enlightenment and learned to live with Jónas Hallgrímsson. With these milestones as our guiding light, we will explore the complex challenges and victories that have shaped both the language and identity of Icelanders. An admission ticket to the museum is valid for the event. Please note that an admission ticket is equivalent to an annual pass and provides access to all events and exhibitions organized by the museum this year from the date of purchase. Admission is free for children up to 18 years of age.
Ásmundarsafn
In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. Sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson worked in different materials. He carved wood, cut stone, shaped clay, transferred forms to concrete, in addition to working with iron and found materials. Many of his best-known works are enlarged and placed in public space around the city. His works were created in relentless experimentation in the studio where he allowed material, content and space work hand in hand. The sculptures are either figurative or abstract, as Ásmundur went through various periods in his artistic creation. In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. We get a sense of what happened behind the scenes in the artist's search for the appropriate completion for the ideas that emerged.
Ásmundarsafn
Echo traces its roots to Selárdalur, where artists working at Listvinnzlan created works in dialogue with the artistic world of Samúel Jónsson. Listvinnzlan is an arts center and professional creative workspace in downtown Reykjavík, where disabled artists create and develop their artistic practice. The exhibition was part of the Reykjavík Arts Festival programme in the summer of 2026. It has now travelled to Ásmundarsafn, where it enters into a new dialogue with the works of artist Ásmundur Sveinsson. New artworks and additional artists have also joined the exhibition. In Selárdalur, a powerful resonance emerged between the artists’ works and Samúel’s creations. Self-taught and working outside the mainstream art world, Samúel followed his own singular vision.
Árbær Open Air Museum
Árbær was an established farm well into the 20th century, and the museum opened there in 1957. Árbær is now an open-air museum with more than 20 buildings which form a town square, a village and a farm. Most of the buildings have been relocated from central Reykjavik. The Museum seeks to give an idea of Reykjavik's architecture and way of life in the 19th and 20th centuries. Each house contains an independent historical exhibition or a typical home from a specific period. The museum also houses old-fashioned workshops on typical facilities, technology, and tools.

The exhibition will run until November 15, 2026. Open Thursday to Sunday from 14:00 to 17:00. Everyone is warmly welcome. “In my graphic works, I often allow chance to take the lead. What comes off the wooden plate onto the paper can be difficult to control, but I aim for the handmade and imperfect. I view the wooden plates as independent works but use the paper to achieve depth and take away the hand control. These works that I present here...

The exhibition DRAWN BY WOMEN: Pioneers in architecture offers insight into ongoing research regarding the first women to qualify as architects between 1940 and 1980. While most were from Iceland, some had roots elsewhere; many returned home after their studies, whereas others chose to pursue their careers abroad. Drawing on information from the 1997 Arkitektatal (Architects’ Register) - alongside selection of drawings, photographs, and working documents - the exhibition provides a glimpse into the life's work and creative output of these women. Additionally, video recordings feature several of them sharing their perspectives, experiences, and passion for using architecture to create a better society. It is evident that their influence and professional ambition have left a lasting mark on Icelandic architecture, spanning both urban planning and building design, while also extending far beyond Iceland’s borders. Examples include progressive school buildings in France and social housing projects in Sweden, some of which are such significant landmarks that they have been granted protected status for their cultural and historical value. Their buildings and projects are found even further afield, including in the United States and Italy, as well as at the heart of Nordic cooperation in the Faroe Islands, in the restoration of dozens of castles in Scotland, and in urban planning initiatives in Mozambique. Visitors have the opportunity to contribute information, stories, or comments, thereby directly participating in expanding the database and further connecting the threads. The exhibition runs until the end of the year at Arctic Space, Óðinsgata 7 in Reykjavik. Hours: Mon, Wed, Fri: 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Sat 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM. Also open on request by emailing info@arcticspace.is.

Worldview Áki Guðni Gränz September 4, 2025 – January 4, 2026 The exhibition opening will take place on Thursday, September 4, from 18:00 to 20:00. The exhibition Worldview looks at Áki Guðni Gränz (1925–2014), a folk artist who created a unique position in the cultural life of Njarðvik and beyond. His works were never merely replicas of landscapes or people – they were personal mappings of his imaginative world, where dreams, folklore, and memories intertwined. In these works, we see the worldview of a man who had deep roots in his community, but also a rich inner world that he conveyed in his unique way. Áki was a master painter by education but a passionate artist at heart. He constantly sought ways to capture what he experienced in nature, stories, and society. In Worldview, these searching steps are revealed: paintings that are not only landscapes or portraits but interpretations of his inner landscape. Here, one can find trolls and mythical beings, heroes and poets, memories from the locality, and dreamlike visions that stretch beyond the everyday. In Áki's works, two realms meet: the visible landscape and the invisible world of tales and dreams. He painted trolls and elves rooted in local folklore, as well as historical figures with whom he felt a connection. Through this, he united different dimensions into a single whole – what was, what could be, and what only appears in the artist's imagination. The artworks in the exhibition are from the collection of the Reykjanesbær Art Museum, along with works owned by the artist's family. Áki would have turned 100 this year, and the exhibition will honor the memory of the artist with a selected overview of his works. Áki was a prolific painter, sculptor, and designed various logos and flags, including the town emblem of Njarðvik and the emblem of the Njarðvik Women's Association, the South Peninsula Craftsmen's Association, and more. Áki actively participated in local government, elected to the Njarðvik municipal council in 1970, served as a town representative for the Independence Party in Njarðvik until 1986, and was the chairman of the Njarðvik town council from 1982 to 1986. He served on the board of the Njarðvik Youth Association, was a founding member of
Samkomuhúsið
The Property Market A bittersweet contemporary play about the comedic jungle of the housing market. Arnrún needs to find a new roof over her head after an unexpected breakup. She cannot move back in with her parents, is not keen on the rental market, and decides to buy her first apartment. What follows is a bittersweet and absurd journey through the jungle of bank employees, real estate agents, and loan sharks. This work serves as a sharp and humorous mirror to the reality of young people today, where character creation in the spirit of Sex and the City meets the absurd world of Kafka.

Lystigarðurinn, Akureyri
Date with the Past Outdoor Photography Exhibition Photography Exhibition It is a long-standing tradition for us ÁLFkonur to set up a new photography exhibition in the Botanical Garden at the beginning of summer. For each exhibition, we choose a specific theme to work with. This time, it was decided to dedicate the exhibition to the 100th anniversary of the Icelandic Photographers' Association, which is this year. The founding meeting was held in 1926, attended by 18 photographers, most of whom worked in Reykjavik. It is worth noting that among this group were 3 women. The idea arose to work with 100-year-old photographs from Akureyri, preserved at the Heritage Museum. We each worked individually and tried to find the spot where the photographer might have stood when taking the picture. Once the location was found, we set up our cameras and snapped away. A lot has changed in the town over 100 years, and it was often very difficult to capture good images as buildings or trees obscured the view. It was therefore pleasantly surprising to see that despite the many changes, there are still buildings that can be seen in these old photographs. ÁLFkonur are in their 16th year of operation, and this exhibition is the fifteenth in the Botanical Garden. The participating ÁLFkonur this time are: Agnes H. Skúladóttir, Berglind H. Helgadóttir, Guðný Pálína Sæmundsdóttir, Gunnlaug E. Friðriksdóttir, Hafdís G. Pálsdóttir, Halla S. Gunnlaugsdóttir, Helga H. Gunnlaugsdóttir, Hrefna Harðardóttir, Inga Dagný Eydal, Kristjana Agnarsdóttir, Lilja Guðmundsdóttir, Linda Ólafsdóttir, Margrét Elfa Jónsdóttir. We warmly invite you to enjoy and hope you have fun going on this "Date with the Past" with us. The exhibition runs until spring 2027 and is open during the opening hours of the Botanical Garden in Akureyri. The event calendar for Art Summer can be found at listasumar.is.
Mokka kaffi
The exhibition by Louise Harris "12 Women" opens at Mokka on October 29 and runs until December 2. In previous exhibitions, I have discussed paintings in relation to my place in the world. Am I a foreign woman who paints with watercolors, or am I an Icelandic woman? For some reason, this question has been at the forefront of my mind as I continue to paint and paint. And sometimes I feel like I should stop painting. I find myself with a project that affects the painting, while it distracts me from it or simply gives me space to gain a little distance and even perspective, if that is something I could ever understand. Louise Harris is a painter currently working with watercolors and textiles. She holds a BFA from the University of Oxford and an MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London. She has exhibited in Iceland, Finland, Great Britain, Japan, and Canada. She was born on the Isle of Sheppey, grew up in South England, and now lives and works in Reykjavik. The exhibition is a sales exhibition and runs until December 2, open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM. Everyone is welcome!

Architecture is all around us, even if we do not always notice it. The buildings and spaces we inhabit shape our daily lives, how we move, play, work, and interact with one another. But how does design and architecture affect us? What kind of homes do we want to live in? Do we need different spaces for different activities, and what makes a good space? In Alvar Aalto’s designs, human beings were always the priority, and children were no exception. In his plans and layouts, Aalto took children and their needs into account. His work reminds us that children have a right to a good daily life and an environment that considers their needs. The exhibition is based on the book Kurjen Kartta (Crane’s Map – Adventure in the Forest of the Aaltos) by Reetta Niemelä, featuring beautiful illustrations

EXHIBITION CATALOGUE This exhibition explores the relationship between the human body and Aalto buildings through the work of contemporary artists Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI) and Ilona Sagar (UK). The artists have spent extended periods in the buildings, living in them, talking to the people who worked in them, and incorporating the spaces into their own artistic practice. Artists: Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI) och Ilona Sagar (UK). Curator: Sabina Westerholm Ilona Sagar, still from Other Actors, 2025 Across these works, the buildings are approached as more than static objects: the body and the building form a symbiotic relationship, each shaping the other and carrying the traces and memories of the other. Through the artists’ own bodies, as well as through real and i
Kjarvalsstaðir
In this exhibition, you can see artworks by Icelandic artists that span approximately six decades following the turn of the 20th century. These works extend across the period during which the painter Jóhannes S. Kjarval was active. In examining Kjarval's journey, and comparing it to the works of his contemporaries, it is possible to see the various ways art changes and evolves. The prevailing spirit of each era is reflected in differing shifts in style, and the artworks provide insight into the artists' inspirations, their surroundings and circumstances. Initially, a romantic view of nature predominated, but symbolism soon after made its way into the narrative, and the first steps were taken towards breaking away from naturalistic imagery. Kjarval was born in 1885 and died in 1972.
Hafnarhús
Erró is one of the few Icelandic artists who has gained a foothold in the international art scene. The Reykjavik Art Musem houses the most extensive collection of Erró's works and exhibitions from the Erró collection are a regular fixture at the Hafnarhús site of the Reykjavík Art Museum, with the purpose of giving as clear an image as possible of the diverse character of the artist's works. This exhibition is a comprehensive overview of the artist's colourful career that has made use of various media in the visual arts. Within it you will find everything from performances, video works, graphics, multiples and collages, to larger works in public spaces and paintings of all scales.
Hafnarhús
The exhibition will feature exclusively works from the collection of Bunkier Sztuki, which houses one of the strongest collections of Polish contemporary art in Europe. The exhibition will include photographs, paintings, sculptures, and installations by thirty artists from Poland. The body is at the forefront of the exhibition, which brings together works created predominantly in the 21st century, a period marked by rapid social change, technological advancement, and evolving ideas about the body, identity, and existence. The exhibition directs attention to the body as a living process rather than a fixed entity. It is shaped by environment, technology, social norms, and histories, and is always in relation to other bodies, other lives, and other worlds.

Kjarvalsstaðir
Hrafnkell Sigurðsson is the tenth artist selected for the Reykjavík Art Museum’s exhibition series at Kjarvalsstaðir, which highlights the careers of key figures in Icelandic art. Each artist is chosen for their unique contribution and specialization in terms of media, methods, and subject matter. This positioning is reflected in the presentation of key works from different periods in the West Gallery, accompanied by a catalogue that places the artist’s career in the context of art history and the present day. Hrafnkell’s works often highlight contrasts – between order and chaos, culture and nature. He draws attention to how human systems confront natural decay, revealing beauty in what is often overlooked: rubbish, worn surfaces, and the transience of everyday life.

EXHIBITION PROGRAM The exhibition explores the relationship between the human body and the buildings designed by Aalto in the works of contemporary artists Dafna Maimon (FI), Ilona Sagar (UK), and Elina Brotherus (FI). The artists share the experience of spending extended periods in the buildings, living there, engaging with the people who worked there, and weaving the spaces into their own artistic practices. Artists: Elina Brotherus (FI), Dafna Maimon (FI), and Ilona Sagar (UK). Curator: Sabina Westerholm Ilona Sagar, still from the work Other Actors, 2025 In the works, the buildings are viewed as more than static objects: the body and the building create a reciprocal relationship where each shapes the other and carries traces and memories of the other. Through the artists' own bodies, as well as real and imagined characters, the works traverse between research and fiction, the structured and the absurd, in their interactions with the buildings. Together, the artworks offer a deeper and broader perspective on the architecture of the Aalto couple, extending beyond traditional avenues of research. The building as body. The body as building. Dafna Maimon, still from the work Homebody, 2025 The Aalto couple is known for their humanistic approach in architecture, emphasizing the human body with organic forms, warm materials, and a strong design language inspired by nature. The idea of Gesamtkunstwerk, or "total work of art," where different branches of design merge into a cohesive whole, was a key aspect of this approach. They worked in the fields of architecture, urban planning, design, and art, developing their organic design language in close dialogue with significant modernist artists. The plural "Aalto couple" underscores the collaboration that underpinned this activity and refers not only to Alvar Aalto but also to Aino Marsio-Aalto, Elissa Aalto, and the broader activities of the Aalto Foundation, as their contributions were all part of the development and practices of the studio. Read about accessibility at the Nordic House.

How can we strengthen the collaboration between museums, cultural institutions, and the tourism sector in the capital region? What opportunities lie in increased cooperation, and how can we better utilize them? The Research Center in Museum Studies, the Research Center for Tourism (RMF), the Association of Icelandic Museums and Museum Workers (FÍSOS), the Herring Era Museum in Siglufjörður, and the Icelandic Travel Industry Association (SAF) invite you to an open workshop on Tuesday, November 10, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, at the Settlement Center in Borgarnes. The aim of the event is to bring together people from the museum and cultural sector and the tourism industry, create a platform for dialogue and idea exchange, and explore ways to enhance collaboration and promote sustainable tourism development in the capital region. Culture is an important part of the experience for tourists in Iceland, and museum visits are the third most popular activity for tourists, following natural hot springs and spas. Therefore, there are significant opportunities to strengthen the connections between these two sectors and further develop a diverse and interesting experience for visitors. The event will be a mix of panel discussions, conversations, and networking, where participants will have the opportunity to share experiences, discuss challenges and opportunities, and form new connections. Participation is free, but attendees are encouraged to register here: https://forms.gle/UATsLvi9cmgNHEeM6 We invite everyone working in the tourism, museum, and cultural sectors, or those interested in increased collaboration between these fields, to come and take part in the conversation.

The exhibition brings together works from different generations where older pieces meet new experiments, creating a shared space for ideas about existence, belief, and imagination. By reflecting the methods of contemporary artists in esoteric movements such as theosophy, gnosticism, and neo-alism, the exhibition forms connections between different worlds. The same longing for meaning and purpose that led the spiritual movements of the past drives contemporary artists today. This longing manifests in their working methods, intertwining scientific fiction, embodied approaches, and religious cosmological theories. The works offer possible worldviews, both internal and external, where dreams, rituals, and reflections on life beyond the earthly become ways to approach the present anew. The inspiration for the exhibition can be traced back to spiritual and mystical currents that emerged over a century ago, during times of uncertainty and the looming threat of world war. That experience resonates in the present, where similar concerns are surfacing. These currents can be seen as precursors to the spiritual emphasis that has recently become prominent in contemporary art, where art has long been a platform to address alienation and a means to seek meaning and fulfillment. The exhibition will be in two parts, approaching the subject in different ways. On September 27, the second part of the exhibition opens at Þula, Marshall House, focusing on a careful presentation of finished works. A week later, on October 3, the more experimental and introspective

In the Hands of the Army The War Years in Akureyri and Eyjafjörður Through the Eyes of Soldiers and Locals In the Hands of the Army discusses the presence of British, American, Norwegian, and Canadian soldiers in Eyjafjörður during World War II. On May 17, 1940, the coast guard ship Ægir docked in Akureyri, a week after the occupation of Reykjavik. On board were 40 seasick soldiers who occupied Eyjafjörður. Following this, thousands of soldiers filled nearly twenty military camps in Akureyri or nearby areas. A defensive line was drawn around Hrísey, and mines were laid in the sea. Eyjafjörður was truly in the hands of the army. This is the subject matter of the exhibition In the Hands of the Army, which is based on photographs, films, and contemporary stories from soldiers and locals, along with artifacts, maps, and various other items. The stories in the exhibition depict the contrasting worlds of soldiers and locals, which sometimes become comical in the clashes of foreign cultures.

By examining colors and forms one can learn a lot about visual art. Arranging forms on a picture plane or in a sculpture creates an artwork. Forms can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, organic or geometric, in diverse colors and textures. Colors are often used to arouse emotions and create an atmosphere. They can also be used as symbols, but people’s interpretations of colors can vary a lot, which is influenced by their background as well as context and culture. The aim of the exhibition is to get museum guests to ponder on the meaning of colors and forms in visual arts, based on selected works from Akureyri Art Museum’s collection. The works are diverse and created with different materials and methods. Guests are also invited to participate in the exhibition by creating their own…

He has exhibited his work in Iceland and abroad and has won prizes and recognitions for his visual art. The subject matter in Bjarnason’s art is Icelandic nature, presented in an abstract way, interlaced with societal issues. He uses various media for his work, either two-dimensional or three-dimensional, even both. The work on the balcony presents a new approach in sculpture where the borders of conception and width have shifted. The sculpture is a part of a series of black rocks, where the abstract form is a criticism of our times with a strong reference to the state of the world in times of war, with the West being completely…

The Russian invasion into Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, marked the beginning of a big trauma for Europe. In this exhibition, war is studied through the eyes of artists from different countries, where art becomes a scene for experience, memories and emotions that are influenced by conflicts. The works evoke pain, fright and a longing for peace, but also show us how war can both divide and unite. Ukrainian artists share stories of pain, hope and persistence, while Icelandic artists mostly reflect on a different experience. French and Danish works evoke memories which can also be based on older refractions, Dutch work connects past and present and a Lithuanian artist reflects on life under constant threats from across the border. Together the works show us how art can mirror, process and…

True/False Halldór Ragnarsson: Perhaps more so than at any other time in history, the lines between truth and fiction and their representations are blurred. Younger generations now assess the photographic image with the added lens of deciphering if it is made with artificial intelligence or not, whereas previous generations viewed the world with the conviction that photographs were proof of reality, an extension of the lens that the proof is in seeing with the eyes. There exists a long tradition of asemic writing, or illegible, abstract marks that resemble writing but lack specific semantic meaning.

Work from our museum collection. Our experience of landscape lies at the heart of human existence. We live from the land, within it, and upon it. We perceive it, depend on it, and often regard it with a mixture of awe and respect. At the same time, we shape our surroundings, we alter the landscape, exploit its resources, transform it, and claim space within it. At times we feel small and vulnerable in the face of nature's immense forces; at others, we place ourselves above the land we inhabit. Yet regardless of where we are in the world, we remain in constant relationship with the land. It surrounds us, always.

The opening of the exhibition The Golden Circle by Austur-Íslendingar – Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury – will take place at LÁ Listasafn Árnesinga on Saturday, September 12. On the opening day, the artists will perform live from a bus on the Golden Circle to the museum. The bus will then arrive at the museum where passengers and exhibition guests will meet. The Golden Circle The artist duo Austur-Íslendingar – Weronika Balcerak and Lukas Bury – boards a bus on the Golden Circle with Icelanders as the audience; the project is partly a performance, partly video art, and partly a documentary work. The bus follows a traditional itinerary: Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss. Three sites at the heart of Iceland's identity, so thoroughly conveyed by the tourism industry that a visit to them already implies seeing them twice – once in person, once through the image that existed before the visit took place. The landscape is both within us and in front of us. It has been shaped before we arrive at it. The narration of the tour guide is broadcast live to LÁ Listasafn. The bus concludes its journey there, guides and passengers disembark together, and the two groups of spectators – those who traveled and those who watched – finally meet. The footage will become part of the exhibition. In the live broadcast, a third kind of knowledge will emerge. Those sitting in LÁ Listasafn will follow the journey around the Golden Circle as it happens, in real-time, on a screen – which is also the way most of them first became acquainted with it. The delay is not technical but ontological: watching a landscape appear through a camera means being both present and absent, a state that seems new but is not. This is the state of all mediated experience, which suddenly becomes legible within the frame. Walter Benjamin wrote that mechanical reproduction deprives the original work of its aura – its presence in time and space – but what the live broadcast offers is even more disturbing: that perception has always been somewhat constructed, that the original has always been a version. The viewer in the museum does not have a lesser experience than the passenger in the bus. They have a different experience, with a different kind of exclusion. The passenger cannot step outside the script; the witness cannot feel the spray at Gullfoss. Neither has unmediated access to

CONNECTIONS II Women Bridge over Sea and Continents – Connecting Cultural Worlds, Shaping Narratives The works of Birgit Graschopf, Kristín Gunnlaugsdóttir, Sigríður Rut Marrow, Tanja Prušnik, Ramona Schnekenburger, and Hulda Vilhjálmsdóttir share a common ground in their sensitivity to what emerges at the borders of different worlds; between body and landscape, memory and presence, the visible and that which lies beneath the surface. Their works do not arise from a need to describe reality but from a desire to give form to that which is difficult to capture in words, emotions, atmosphere, and the experiences that shape our connections to one another. Although the works were not created in direct dialogue, they seem to resonate with each other and form unexpected connections. In the exhibition, the materials play a crucial role. Concrete, sandpaper, fish skin, textiles, color, water, and paper carry traces of time, movement, and touch. The working processes of the female artists are characterized by open and exploratory methods where intuition, experimentation, and transformation take precedence. The works are created in a multilayered process where form and meaning gradually evolve; like a landscape shaped by weather and time or memories that take on new forms. Iceland and Austria provide an important backdrop in the works, each country with its own history, culture, and nature. Although the countries are geographically distant, a dialogue forms between them that is reflected in the works of the female artists and the questions they direct their attention to. The female body is prominent in the works as a space of perception, experience, strength, and vulnerability. It is not primarily an object of representation but a place where connections, memories, and experiences take shape. Nature is also an active participant in the works; the sea, waterfalls, landscapes, and organic forms become echo chambers for emotions, memories, and inner experiences. When the works of these female artists come together, a poetic dialogue emerges about connection, transformation, and what unites people across different backgrounds and experiences. Although the artists work with different media and imagery, the works share a common calm yet impactful presence and evoke that which is difficult to put into words. They open a space for the unsaid and draw forth a fragile yet powerful realm where memories, body, and landscape intertwine. CONNECTIONS II Women Artists: Birgit Graschopf The

Every Tuesday at noon during the winter and spring months, the National Museum of Iceland offers various events such as film screenings, guided tours, and lectures. On Tuesday, November 17th at 12 PM, historian Guðrún Hildur Rosenkjær, a master in dress and costume sewing, will give a lecture on the unique trousseau of Þórunn Ólafsdóttir from the year 1780, when she married Bishop Hannes Finnsson. Þórunn's story is unique in many ways, as is the clothing and jewelry described in her trousseau. Hildur will raise questions about the meaning and significance of Þórunn's costume ownership, based on her research on clothing and costumes from the 18th century. To illustrate the scope and grandeur of the costumes, Hildur will showcase reproductions of such clothing and other interesting items. For years, Guðrún Hildur has dedicated her work to researching, reproducing, and sharing Icelandic costumes. In her work, she combines scholarly source criticism with practical research methods, where she reproduces costumes, materials, and techniques to shed new light on aspects that written sources alone cannot clarify. After the lecture, Hildur will lead an embroidery gathering in the children's and family space on the first floor titled "Embroidery Gathering – Leave Your Mark in Guðrún's Flower Garden," where guests will learn about floral embroidery and contribute to a communal craft that will be preserved in the museum. Admission to the museum is valid for the event. Please note that an admission ticket is equivalent to an annual pass and grants access to all events and exhibitions organized by the museum for one year from the date of purchase. Admission to exhibitions and events is free for children up to 18 years of age.

Ásmundarsafn
In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. Sculptor Ásmundur Sveinsson worked in different materials. He carved wood, cut stone, shaped clay, transferred forms to concrete, in addition to working with iron and found materials. Many of his best-known works are enlarged and placed in public space around the city. His works were created in relentless experimentation in the studio where he allowed material, content and space work hand in hand. The sculptures are either figurative or abstract, as Ásmundur went through various periods in his artistic creation. In the exhibition, we go back in time and into Ásmundur's studio. We get a sense of what happened behind the scenes in the artist's search for the appropriate completion for the ideas that emerged.
Ásmundarsafn
Echo traces its roots to Selárdalur, where artists working at Listvinnzlan created works in dialogue with the artistic world of Samúel Jónsson. Listvinnzlan is an arts center and professional creative workspace in downtown Reykjavík, where disabled artists create and develop their artistic practice. The exhibition was part of the Reykjavík Arts Festival programme in the summer of 2026. It has now travelled to Ásmundarsafn, where it enters into a new dialogue with the works of artist Ásmundur Sveinsson. New artworks and additional artists have also joined the exhibition. In Selárdalur, a powerful resonance emerged between the artists’ works and Samúel’s creations. Self-taught and working outside the mainstream art world, Samúel followed his own singular vision.

Reykjavík Museum of Photography
As you browse through Ólafur’s film archive, which contains nearly 200,000 photographs, it becomes clear how keenly he observed the beautiful and humorous moments of everyday life. Between dramatic news photographs of fires and protests, there are intimate moments that he captured on film in his local surroundings. Ólafur’s photographs are a unique record of everyday life, events, and atmosphere, and many of them have never been seen by the public before. The setting is downtown Reykjavik, where the offices of the newspaper Morgunblaðið stood at the heart of the city’s social and cultural life for much of his career, which spanned half a century. The exhibition covers Ólafur’s years of study in the United States and nearly thirty years of his professional career, from 1947 to 1975. The Reykjavík Museum of Photography is fully accessible, and guide dogs are welcome. Public transport: The nearest bus stops are Hafnarhús, Lækjartorg, and Ráðhúsið (2 to 5 minutes' walk).

Vökuland II Eyjafjarðarsveit
Yoga and Gong Relaxation Registration for the class is necessary at: solveighar@gmail.com and at tel. 663-0498 5-class pass for 13,000 kr Single class for 3,000 kr. The class consists of 50 minutes of gentle yoga flow in and out of yoga poses (asana), breathing (pranayama), and 20 minutes of gong healing/relaxation (Savasana). With yoga practice, balance in the endocrine system, nervous system, muscles and musculoskeletal system, immune system, and circulation is strengthened. Yoga maintains flexibility and strength. By slowing down the breath, the system calms, and a meditative state is created in the yoga poses, leading to focus and balance in the body, emotions, and mind. Yoga thus opens up for soul connection, where we perceive ourselves as connected and unified with everything. #vokulandwellness #solveigbennyjar

Shamanic Breathwork is a powerful method of healing and self-empowerment, where simple breathing techniques and music lead the participant on a deep inner journey. In Shamanic Breathwork, Western science meets the ancient wisdom of North American Indigenous peoples, and the method was developed from Holotropic & Integrative Breathwork, woven together with the shamanic teachings of Grandmother Twylah, matriarch of the Seneca Wolf Clan. The outcome is a unique alchemy that enhances insight, increases independence, and the ability of each individual to live their truth. https://www.shamanicbreathwork.org/ A little about me, Rósa. I could write quite a bit to describe myself, but that would be material for an autobiography that at times might seem to readers like pure fiction. I graduated as a Shamanic Breathwork facilitator from the Venus Rising Association of Transformation in June 2023 in North Carolina. I work as a Health Therapist at the Health Institute in Hveragerði. I am also a master in Reiki healing and a nurse.

We have twelve weeks of yoga sessions ahead in the beautiful space of om setrið for those who have already practiced (but if you are a beginner and want to join, you are also welcome!) Working with the body, breath, and mindfulness leads us inward, strengthening, opening, and relaxing. We turn inward, listen, and respond to signals from the body, as well as feel ourselves more fully in the surrounding space, utilizing functional movement alongside yoga asanas. A very important element of each session is the ability to adapt the practice to your own needs and capabilities. Through all these tools, we create a different, sometimes completely new relationship with ourselves, which transfers from the mat to everyday life, bringing nourishing values into it. The classes are primarily based on hatha and vinyasa yoga practice, breathing techniques, and mindfulness training, but we also draw from the benefits of yin yoga, aerial yoga, yoga nidra, myofascial release, somatic and intuitive movement, and therapeutic bodywork. • Pricing for classes: 12-week pass - 34,000 kr. 8-week pass - 28,000 kr. 4-week pass - 16,000 kr. 5-entry pass - 11,500 kr.

Iðnó
Much Ado About Nothing Much Ado About Nothing is a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare. The soldiers have returned to Messina, and the love entanglements quickly begin. Beatrice and Benedick exchange witty banter but seem to agree on one thing: they will never fall in love, especially not with each other! Meanwhile, love blossoms between Hero and Claudio, but their happiness is suddenly threatened when rumors spread. Much Ado About Nothing is a hilarious play about love, misunderstandings, and deception. The play has been performed with great popularity around the world, including on Broadway, and has had a significant impact on contemporary storytelling. Now, directors Kristín Þorsteinsdóttir and Sigríður Halla Eiríksdóttir join forces to give Helgi Hálfdánarson's translation of this classic work a fresh perspective.

Samkomuhúsið
The Real Estate Martyrdom A bittersweet contemporary play about the comedic jungle of the housing market. Arnrún needs to find a new roof over her head after an unexpected breakup. She can't move back in with her parents, is not pleased with the rental market, and decides to buy her first apartment. What follows is a bittersweet and absurd journey through the jungle of bank employees, real estate agents, and loan sharks. This work serves as a sharp and humorous mirror to the reality of young people today, where character creation in the spirit of Sex and the City meets the absurd world of Kafka. The play, written by Lithuanian playwright Gabrielė Labanauskaitė, was awarded the best foreign play at Germany's largest playwriting festival in 2021. Director and translation: Adolf Smári Unnarsson Set and costumes: Brynja Björnsdóttir Music: Jóhannes Damian R.
