Just Another Snake Cult er hugarfóstur Þóris Andersen sem hefur dvalið meirihluta ævi sinnar í Santa Cruz og kemur þaðan til Íslands með sækadelíska poppmúsík í farteskinu. Þórir er búinn að setja saman fjögurra manna hljómsveit til að leika tónlistina og eru þetta fyrstu tónleikar sveitarinnar í Havarí á menningarnótt. Sækó spennó!

Of Monsters and Men vann mússíktilraunir í ár og eiga titilinn meira en lítið skilið. Hljómsveitina skipa Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, Ragnar Þórhallson, Brynjar Leifsson og Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson sem flytja ólýsanlega fallega nýbylgjutónlist beint af kúnni. http://www.myspace.com/ofmonstersandmenmusic
22:00-23:00
Útgáfa á bókinni YOU HAVE HAIR LIKE FLAGS, FLAGS THAT POINT IN MANY DIRECTIONS AT ONCE BUT CANNOT PINPOINT LAND WHEN LOST AT SEA eftir Alisha Piercy. Þetta er hennar önnur bók og vann hún nýlega til virtra verðlauna bpNichol 2010 Chapbook Poetry Award fyrir verk skrifuð á ensku í Canada. Sérstök íslensk útgáfa af bókinni hefur verið gerð og mun Alisha Piercy lesa upp úr verkinu klukkan 22:00-23:00 í Útúrdúr.
23:30
Gjörningurinn TWENTY-TWO RAFTS ALIGHT mun fylgja á eftir útgáfunni. Gjörningurinn er samstarfsverkefni milli Íslenska listamannsins Óskar Ericsson og Kanadíska rithöfundarins og listakonunar Alisha Piercy, en bókin hennar YOU HAVE HAIR LIKE FLAGS~ er innblástur að verkinu. Gjörningurinn mun eiga sér stað klukkan 23:30 við Sæbraut.
Að auki mun skúta sýna verk sitt "All Icelanders" í Útúrdúr á Menningarnótt. Verkinu verður varpað á vegg í Veltusundi en nánari tímasetning verður auglýst síðar. All Icelanders er hluti af verkinu 52/52+ Books/Weeks eftir Helga Skúta.
Síðast en ekki síst vekjum við athygli á Veggspjaldi vikunnar. Hildigunnur Birgisdóttir er listamaðurinn í 21. viku verkefnisins og sem fyrr er veggspjaldið prentað í 21 eintaki nema Hildigunnur hefur farið inn á nýtt torg með veggspjald vikunnar á tímum fjöldaframleiðslunnar með því að gera hvert eintak einstakt.

Sigurborg Stefánsdóttir is an Icelandic artist who will exhibit new artistbooks and talk about her works. Sigurborg’s art has recieved much attention and in her works she experiments with the aspects of the bookform.
17:00
Just Another Snake Cult is the creation of Þórir Andersen who has lived most of his life in Santa Cruz. He came to Iceland loaded with his psychadelic pop music and has put together a four man band to perform his music. This will be the first concert that the band plays. What a thrill!!
18:00
Of Monsters and Men are the winners of Musicexperiments 2010 and certainly deserve to carry the title. The band members are Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, Ragnar Þórhallson, Brynjar Leifsson and Arnar Rósenkranz Himarsson and they play undescribably beautiful indie music like a smoking pie in the window.

Last but not least we want to shine the spotlight on the Poster of the Week. Hildigunnur Birgisdóttir is the artist behind the Poster on the 21st week and as before the Poster is printed in 21 numbered copy’s but this time with a twist. In the time of mechanical reproduction Hildigunnur Birgisdóttir decided to make each copy unique.
On Cultural Night everybody is welcome in Havarí and Útúrdúr as all nights.
