04 / 30 / 06 at MonkeyTown, Brooklyn, NYC. SOLD OUT

As part of the month long "On ne sais jamais" series curated by Lisa Kirk at MonkeyTown, Cold Hearts invites you to view some of the best artist films and music videos Iceland has to offer. Featuring line drawings come alive, macabre stop animation, the secret life of moss, bunny suits, exploding dictaphones, women who live on clouds, Outkast ballads, and some very creative uses for whipped cream, Cold Hearts represents the whimsical Icelandic imagination.

24 artist films and music videos cover expansive aesthetic ground. From sunny Barcelona to art school in Los Angeles to the craggy vistas of Skagafjördur in northern Iceland, these young artists explore their native and adopted worlds in inventive ways. Intrinsically dark and aloof, yet also refreshingly honest, Cold Hearts is a glimpse into the curious cultural landscape of Iceland now.

Featuring films by: Kristin Helga Karadóttir, Kyja Kristjansson-Nelson, Lars Skjelbreia, Hlynur Magnússon, Berglind Ágústsdóttir, Malin Ståhl, Eyrún Eyjólfsdóttir, Hulda Rós Gudnadóttir, Bjargey Ólafsdóttir, Unnur Andrea Einarsdóttir, Ragnar Bragason and Bardi Jóhannsson, and Kira Kira

And videos by: Apparat Organ Quartet (dir: Magnus Helgason), My Summer as a Salvation Solider (dir: Elvar Gunnarsson), Múm (dirs: Semiconductor and Marc Craste), Maus (dir: Elvar Gunnarsson), Gus Gus (dirs: Stefan Arni & Siggi Kjartansson), Úlpa (dir: Dögg Mósesdóttir), Sigur Rós (dir: Agust Jacobsson), and Bang Gang (dir: Ragnar Bragason).
