#7 Sigfús Bjartmarsson (1955 – )

Friday, February 27th, 2009

From Zombie 58 The blood does not taste any longer only this resounding colour ill tempered all over town drunk on sweat and nails and the aftertaste of past cheap tricks and so pink-lucid in the city-bone yet the porcelain-eyes keep theirs rolling the rim of a glass and the hand jerks and wassails... »

The Screen: The Cave

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Push aside the thick, dark curtain, step across the cables on the floor and you’ll find yourself standing on a white floor with white screens in front of you and to each of your sides. Above you are projectors and speakers. You’re given a pair of goggles and a glove. You put them on... »

Icelandic National Poem This is my room, we call it Iceland. It’s chained to Europe with a marine cable and to and from here airplanes fly with their ink-cartridges full of people. Here I dwell in a matchbox that I care for so dearly since I painted the inner walls last winter. Life goes... »
