Remember that time Marina Abramović did that exhibit at the MOMA where she sat in a chair and stared at people?

11:00-17:00, BERG Contemporary
Light structures on the wall, reflecting down onto wood sculptures which dominate the floor. White walls, contrasting sharply with lightly coloured floors. Shadows, quivering, perpetually in motion. Welcome to Rósa Gísladóttir’s new exhibition, which’ll be open until February 23rd. BERG Contemporary’s opening hours are from 11:00 to 17:00 from Tuesday to Friday and 13:00 to 17:00 on Saturday.

To Fold A Line In Deep Blackness // Mirel Vieru
13:00-17:00, Listastofan
Romanian oil painter Mirel Vieru’s central artistic thesis is that of dichotomies, limits and folding. Here, he intersects that with the idea of the line, creating sensual and ghostly works that, at times, look like cocaine. See picture above for evidence. If you can’t catch the exhibit today, it’ll be on until February 14th, and Listastofan is open Wednesday to Saturday from 13:00 to 17:00.

Prump í Paradís: Mommie Dearest
20:00, Bíó Paradís, 1,600 ISK
Tina, bring us the axe! Yes, for this iteration of Hugleikur Dagsson’s bad movie series, he’ll present the amazing Joan Crawford in all her box office poison glory. ‘Mommie Dearest’ must be seen to be believed, but it’ll basically make you question why Faye Dunaway didn’t win an Oscar for her iconic performance as the dramatic actress. So go and let your inner diva out. But please: No. Wire. Hangers. EVER.
