Calgary art show displays Icelandic works 
Sextet of artists take Cowtown by storm
What do six Icelandic artists do when they hit Calgary, Alberta, a metropolis right in the middle of Canada’s great western cow country? They find the biggest western apparel store they can find, of course, and dude themselves up cowboy-style in
ten-gallon hats, tall-boots, embroidered shirts and jeans. Then it’s off to the tiny Truck Gallery, where the art opening to mark their compelling, eclectic and very Icelandic show is being held.
The show is called Sundogs, and it’s a part of the Núna (now) festival, which is headquartered in Winnipeg and is now in its second year. The Núna (now) mandate is to encourage, and if need be to forge, creative confluences between the artists of Iceland and those in North America who are merely descended from Icelanders.
