SEQUENCES is an international cross media festival in Reykjav’k with 
the focus on time based art phenomena. The festival links 
contemporary visual art with other media, especially sound and 
performative art. Artists from Iceland and the rest of the world 
participate in this premiere. The festival will take place in 
different locations in the city center of Reykjav’k, accompanied by 
exhibitions and video/performance 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 are accountable for specific dynamic creative processes 
which develop especially in time-based art projects.

The festival will start in the afternoon of Friday, October 13 with 
the official opening in the festival's artistic center, The Living 
Art Museum, followed by a series of performances in public space. The 
patron of the festival, Iceland's first lady Mrs Dorrit Moussaieff, 
will officially open the festival.

The afternoon of Saturday, October 14 is mainly dedicated to the 
institutions which will open their exhibitions accompanied by 
performances.
A series of video- and performance nights with a rich program of 
international and local artists in cooperation with other 
institutions and festivals build the attractive frame of the 
festival. The venue is an old theater at the pond. The series will 
start on Tuesday, October 17 with screenings of international videos 
and music.

Numerous performances and screenings will take place during the two 
weeks, partly linked to Iceland's famous music festival AIRWAVES. The 
festival will close on Saturday, October 28 with an Icelandic 
performance night at Tjarnab’—.
