Tonight come along to the Film Archive (corner of Tarana­ki and Ghuznee Sts) to the open­ing of A jaorin­um (transl. on the edge), a col­lec­tion of 15 recent video works from Ice­land, cur­ated by Leon­hard Emmer­ling, from 5:30pm.

The Archive will be reveal­ing its mediagal­lery (a con­tem­por­ary film and video gal­lery) pro­gramme for the next SIX months with a FREE GIFT. There’ll also be live music­al per­form­ance by The Droszkhi & Riffkah Space Disko! – Hit (and miss) Sig­nals from the Cos­mos presen­ted by Bek Coogan (Cor­tina) and Torben Tilly (Min­it, Bad Stat­ist­ics).

The artists in A jaorin­um explore a num­ber of themes inspired by the cul­tur­al and geo­graph­ic­al myths of Ice­land; from mel­an­chol­ic self-efface­ment, to des­ol­ate land­scapes and…erm, pix­ies.
