The Living Art Museum Prepares for Sequences XII: Pause in Reykjavík
The upcoming autumn season will bring a distinct shift in tempo to the local cultural landscape. From 10 to 20 October 2025, The Living Art Museum will participate in the twelfth edition of the Sequences Biennial, titled Sequences XII: Pause.
Set across ten days, this year's festival turns its focus toward the concept of slowness. Bringing together an array of local and international practitioners, the event encourages audiences to step back from everyday acceleration and engage with contemporary works through a different temporal lens.
Experiencing the Sequences Biennial in Reykjavík
Under the curatorial direction of Daría Sól Andrews, the festival program is designed to foster meditation, focused attention, and extended engagement. Visitors can look forward to a diverse lineup featuring live performances, guided walks, lectures, and major gallery presentations.
The core of the event is structured around three distinct thematic pillars:
- Experiential Time: Highlights time-based installations and immersive works crafted to encourage quiet contemplation and unhurried observation.
- Political Time: Examines how artistic practices intersect with the lived realities and politics of time, paying particular attention to marginalized histories and communities.
- Natural Time: Shifts perspective outward, showcasing works that reflect non-human rhythms—ranging from microscopic developments to vast geological changes.
While the complete roster of participating artists and the granular schedule remain pending for later in the year, visitors interested in planning their autumn art walks can explore more cultural highlights via what's on exhibitions.
