Sequences XI —Can’t See: Grand Opening at Marshall House
Welcome to the opening event of Sequences XI: Can't See at the Living Art Museum and Kling & Bang, Friday October 13. The event will take place after the opening performance of the art group Aaloe-Ader-Flo-Künnap-Soosalu, which starts at Hafnarhúsið at 16:00 and ends outside the Marshall House at 17:00.
The opening in the Marshall House starts at 17:00 in the Living Art Museum with the performance Fist by Johanne Hedva. At 18:00 there will be speeches and afterwards the exhibitions will officially open: Subterrain at The Living Art Museum and Soil in Kling & Bang. Artist and chef Pola Sutryk will offer an edible installation at Kling & Bang.
At 20:00 there is an after-party at Bíó Paradís. Free entry.
The title of the festival, Can't see, is divided into four chapters that provide insight into the spaces and moments that the human eye usually does not reach: everything from the ocean floor and climate change to the ruins of the past and dreams of the future. The stories are told from various perspectives, from hybrid birds to bacteria, to sea creatures, an ancient tree or the tireless wind.
The exhibition stems from the surrounding darkness. It starts from the feeling that the world is crumbling in our hands, while a strong wind blows the last of its remains even further. We cannot see the ever-growing threat of ecological destruction, just as we cannot see the potential new directions and life forms rising from the ruins of the old world.
Subterrain — The Living Art Museum
This is the subterranean underworld — the layers of terrestrial Earth revealing themselves. It is an environment where the processes of growth start and where they ultimately diffuse. As a mole, we dig ourselves through the pitch black tunnels, smelling the earth, decay and sulphurous compounds. Here is the huge dark Core of the Earth, slowly breathing and moving in its own rhythm; an altar for the underworld, made of clay; a painting born out of silt, gathered from a recent human-led catastrophe. The ground remembers, but it also absorbs, digests and finally loses all traces of what's ever been.
