The Living Art Museum will host a sonic exhibition with works by Darri Lorenzen, BJ Nilsen, Björn Quiring, Ingólfur Arnarsson and Finnbogi Pétursson. Another sound performance by Elín Hansdóttir and Úlfur Hansson will take place in the Grótta lighthouse. The Fort artist collective from Bremen will open a performance stage only during evening hours in a container close to the sea, and there will be many more works in public space by Haraldur Jónsson, Sara Riel, Theresa Himmer, Unnur Mjöll Leifsdóttir, Halldór Arnar Úlfarsson, and many others.
A very special focus lies on the festival’s first honorary artist: Rúrí. For Sequences 2008, Rúrí will present Vocal IV in collaboration with musician and composer Jóhann Jóhannsson in the Reykjavík Art Museum. Vocal IV is an elaborate performance with diverse elements: video, music, sound art, waterfall swish, nature sounds and texts Rúrí has collected from critical international discussions about water.
The entire program can be found online, at the Sequences website.
Note: This year’s dates give art lovers the opportunity of travelling even farther to Frieze Art Fair in London or staying in Reykjavík for the famous Icelandic Airwaves Music Festival!
