SEQUENCES

real time festival
reykjavik 2006



October 13 - 28



<>www.sequences.is



SEQUENCES is an international cross-media festival in Reykjavik with 
a focus on time-based art phenomena. The festival links contemporary 
visual art with other media, especially sound and performative art. 
It will take place in different locations in the city center of 
Reykjav’k, accompanied by exhibitions and video/shortfilm nights. 
SEQUENCES will invade established spaces (museums and galleries) as 
well as public spaces in the city center of Iceland's capital. A fine 
selection of international and local artists will participate in this 
unique event.

The strong interrelation between visual arts, sound and performance 
arts is significant for Iceland's vibrant art scene. These nexuses 
account for specific dynamic creative processes which develop 
especially in time-based art projects.



programmatic frame

//vp-nites

A row of video- and performance nights with a rich program of 
international and local artists build the attractive frame of the 
festival, in cooperation with other institutions and festivals. The 
venue is an old theater by the city pond.



//shows

Several museums, galleries and project spaces will host exhibitions 
that focus on time-based art phenomena. To name a few: The National 
Gallery will focus on the first generation influenced by pop and punk 
- a show of Icelandic painting in the 1980s.  The Reykjav’k Art 
Museum will host a group show with young Icelandic artists and the 
Living Art Museum will show a retrospective of Carolee Schneeman. 
Galleries like i8, Kling & Bang or Boreas will present single 
artist's statements. Off-spaces like banananas or the dwarf gallery 
will host installations or performances.



//public spaces

A lot of the projects in the festival seek to invade public spaces. 
Not only public venues and buildings but also shops, bars and concert 
halls will host visual, sound or performance projects.



The detailed program will be released in middle September.
