TERRAFORM 2023
TERRAFORM – IN KNUD VIKTOR’S SOUND TRACKS is a residency program in connection with the exhibition PUT YOUR EARS TO THE GROUND – Sound Painter Knud Viktor on Samsø, where a group of contemporary artists participate in a joint work stay at Agerupgård, Samsø and in Bang & Olufsen’s former research studios at Sound Art Lab, Struer. The four invited artists work during three weeks with Knud Viktor’s oeuvre and working methods as a starting point for their own contemporary practice.
Participating artists:
MELISSA VAN DRIE (FR)
is a researcher, performer and writer from France who works with how sound, hearing and listening are important aspects of world-making: how different humans and non-humans use sound to sense and understand their respective environments.
NANNA ELVIN HANSEN (DK)
is an artist and filmmaker based in Copenhagen, whose practice often focuses on issues related to feminism and migration politics. She often investigates these questions through a collective and collaborative process of film, video and sound production.
SARAH SIKORIE (NO)
is an artist from Oslo who works with sculpture and installation, with a particular interest in the processual formation of our kinship and coexistence with other species. Her works are based on site-specific interactions.
LIEVEN MARTENS (BE)
is an artist from Antwerp, Belgium. He creates conceptual music that hovers between field recordings, ambient, musique concrète and modern composition. He investigates the “sound of islands”, where he has been inspired by the rhythms of archipelagos.
