‘Landscape of the Mind’ by Sólrún<br />
Halldórsdóttir<br />

similar to landscapes. Seen from above, a<br />
landscape is very different than a groundup<br />
view.<br />

ART<br />
OPENINGS<br />
18:00 | Admission: 3,000 ISK<br />
Anyone who spends their time scrolling through social media when<br />
they should be working might get deja-vu right about now. The<br />
"today is the day that Marty McFly arrives when he travels to the<br />
future!" meme first appeared in 2010, when a photoshopped picture<br />
of his time-travelling DeLorean's dashboard tricked people on a viral<br />
scale. It happened again in 2012. But guess what! October 21st 2015<br />
is the ACTUAL date Marty McFly went to! This is not a drill! The<br />
future is finally here! So why not mourn 2015's lack of self-drying<br />
jackets, hoverboards and flying cars by gorging on the whole classic<br />
Back To The Future trilogy, shown back-to-back at Bíó Paradís? JR<br />
Brynja has been drawing all of her life,<br />
and this exhibit shows her pencil art. She<br />
focuses on drawing women in their many<br />
varied forms and roles, dreaming, flirting,<br />
and dancing the dance of life.<br />
