Sequences XII: Pause
17:00
The Nordic House welcomes the twelfth edition of the Sequences Biennial; Sequences XII: Pause.
The opening of the exhibition will be in Hvelfing on the 11th of October at 16:00.
The visual art festival will take place from 10 to 20 October 2025 in Reykjavík. This year, the festival brings together a wide-ranging group of Icelandic and international artists whose work explores slowness in both artistic practice and audience experience.
Curated by Daría Sól Andrews, Sequences XII invites visitors to step away from the rush of daily life and immerse themselves in ten days of exhibitions, performances, lectures, guided walks, and more. The festival is an open invitation to pause, reflect, and experience art at a different rhythm, making space for attention, meditation, and sustained engagement.
