@artnews: The Reykjavík Arts Festival is quintessentially Icelandic, which is to say it’s ethereal, surreal, and in a million different ways invitingly and perplexingly strange. Although the festival’s live performances took place earlier this month, many of its offerings—including installations and exhibitions at institutions in town and elsewhere around Iceland—extend throughout the summer and into the fall. One of those is an exhibition for Björk at the National Gallery of Iceland. Take a look inside Bjork’s surreal show, “Echolalia,” which features installations designed to incubate the experience of living inside three songs, two already released and the third new. Imagery of horses and humanoid figures predominates, many of them fusing and conjoined. Read more about the show, and other highlights from the Reykjavik Arts Festival, at the link in our bio.
