Vonarstræti<br />

����������<br />
In the spacious room, next to the smallish version of<br />
Iceland, you’ll find the glass-fusion of local artist Þóa.<br />
She works mainly with glass, creating sculptures, lamps<br />
and wall-decorations that reflect on Icelandic nature and<br />
ideas of freedom. <strong>The</strong> exhibition is called Looking at the<br />
Sky so be sure to look for the birds – not only outside but<br />
in various artistic versions as well.<br />
Kirsuberjatréð (<strong>The</strong> Cherry Tree)<br />
Vesturgata 4, phone: 562-8990<br />
Experience, watch and touch all kinds of art, jewellery,<br />
felt, pottery and clothes in cosy surroundings. A group<br />
project of ten funky Icelandic artists the store is a great<br />
place to stop and admire the colours, craft and originality<br />
of Icelandic design. You can buy stuff too, and it’s one of<br />
a kind.<br />

Gallery Banananas<br />
A rite of summer, the<br />
outdoor, constantlyrevolving<br />
gallery is a must<br />
for a sunny afternoon.<br />
Okay, there are probably<br />
two sunny afternoons a<br />
summer in Iceland. If you<br />
get one, get out to Gallery<br />
Bananananas.<br />
Laugavegur 80. Outside.<br />

Walking through the “Flower street” Skólavörðustígur<br />
you can look inside the arty store of Indriði and find an<br />
interesting exhibition by Þóroddur Bjarnason. In this<br />
project he works with the Bible tale of Sakkeus and<br />
creates a conversation among space, ideas, words and<br />
audience. His statements can also be seen outside from<br />
the street but the message is clearer if you just go in and<br />
ponder a bit.<br />

Reykjavík Art Museum<br />
For the Reykjavík Art Festival, the<br />
downtown Reykjavík Art Museum<br />
features a collection of German<br />
artist Dieter Roth, who lived in<br />
Iceland during a key moment of his<br />
creative output, and who has had<br />
a significant influence on the local<br />
scene ever since.
