Bad Taste Ltd at The Spitz
The Icelandic record label that launched Björk, The Sugarcubes, Mínus,
Bellatrix
and Sigur Rós presents two gigs and an exhibition of artwork, portraits and
posters at The Spitz beginning 3rd June.
Celebrating 16 years of Icelandic music and culture, both mainstream and
uncompromising, the sumptuous mix of live music, photography, art and film
is
presented by Smekkleysa SM widely known as Bad Taste Ltd. - perhaps the most
experimental and daring cultural organization to come out of Iceland.

SPITZ GALLERY– element 3
open all week noon to 5pm > FREE ADMISSION
Lobster Or Fame
Opening: 5 – 16 June 2003
Lobster or Fame is a collage of the Bad Taste label’s history, displaying
posters, record sleeve designs and photos that capture an apparent naïve joy
and
vibrancy. Historically significant, the little known photographic images
weave
into the creative core of a label whose anarchic and quirky spirit has
produced
extraordinary artists and made a lasting mark on both the Icelandic music
and
art scene as well as having a considerable impact further afield.
We have one pair of tickets to give away for the Tues 3rd June gig and one
pair
to give away for the Wed 4th June gig. The winners will be the first two
people
to reply correctly to the following question:
In which city is the record label Smekkleysa SM widely known as Bad Taste SM
Ltd
based?
