Festisvall Fünf

Festisvall Fünf is an art and music festival taking place late summer 2015. With artworks from 20 Icelandic, German and Dutch artists and four Icelandic bands, it will travel through Reykjavík, Berlin, Leipzig and Amsterdam with concerts and exhibitions in each city. For the exhibition of screen prints, Festisvall commissioned 20 artists to design posters with the theme "food". Each artist had the freedom to stretch the limits of the theme in whatever direction they found, as long as it resulted in an A2 poster of two colors.

"My father says muppets when he means croissants. I never asked him why. It's hard to question the people you're closest to."
- Maurits de Bruijn, participating artist
