An offspring of the dynamic art scene that thrives in Reykjavík, Sequences is the first art festival in Iceland to focus on visual art alone. The aim of the festival is to produce and present progressive visual art with special focus on time-based mediums, such as performance, sound art, video and public interventions.[1][2] New artistic directors are hired to reshape each edition of Sequences according to their vision, making it unique and different every time.
Historyedit
Sequences is a not-for-profit art organisation.[1] It was founded by four artist-run venues: The Living Art Museum (also known as Nýló), Kling & Bang Gallery, The Dwarf Gallery and Gallery Bananananas (closed since 2007), as well as the Center for Icelandic Art (CIA.IS, now known as the Icelandic Art Center). Today, the festival is co-run by Kling & Bang Gallery, The Living Art Museum (Nýló), and the Icelandic Art Center.[1] Each of them has one representative on the board, but all the major venues and cultural institutions in the greater-Reykjavík area have worked with the festival in one way or another.[1] The first festivals in 2006-2008 were annual, but in 2009 it was decided to slow the pace and hold the festival every other year.[3] More than three hundred artists from around the world have participated in the festival, along with the artist-run galleries, the bigger museums and institutions in Iceland.
