Final Sequences VII openings were in the city centre, focused on smaller venues within a walking distance, the ideal sunday art route. We started in Ásgrímssafn, the former home and atelier of one of Icelands old painters – Ásgrímur Jónsson. Next stop was Hótel Holt, an all time favourite hotel in town that this year celebrates its 50th anniversary and is were our guests from abroad stayed for Sequences VII. Hótel Holt is a family run hotel and owns one of the biggest private collections in Iceland. The hotel itself is also packed with artworks, mostly by the old painters, at least three original works in each room and the bar dedicated to Kjarval, one of the most significant painters of past generations of artists. This time a few of the hotel paintings had been exchanged for new pieces, video works and sculptures. Throughout the week Styrmir Örn Guðmundsson invited people to a performance, a partly fictional narrative that led guests through different spaces of the hotel. The third and last venue on the sunday walk was Harbinger, a small and bright spot on a crossroad, in what used to be a fishmonger, but has fairly recently been converted to a contemporary tenderly artist run project space.
