Arendse Krabbe (b. 1979) is a visual artist based in Copenhagen. Her practice engages with listening and her experience of listening being a practice that sensitises. She both works individually and collectively on the relational aspects of listening.

Krabbe listens in an attempt to open and enable spaces of differences, complexities, movement and entanglements. In this regard listening holds the potential to create new and other collectives across species, systems, ethnicities and borders. Krabbe is also part of the radio collective The Bridge Radio.

Arendse Krabbe’s work materializes as audio, video, performance, text, listening situations and site-specific works in public space.

My practice is rooted in extensive material research and solid craftsmanship. Through my work, I challenge conventional tools and methodologies, using site-specific installations and temporary interventions to explore the dichotomy between natural and artificial. Among others, I utilize locally sourced clay and challenge the limitations of the material by embracing its inherent cracks and imperfections.

My ongoing research centers on the concept of Ad Extremum, or “until the end; death,” (the human presence’s narrowness) as a reflection of the precarious existence of humankind examining themes of transience, fragility, and decay, and the opposition and discrepancies between humanity and nature.

Helene Johanne Christensen (b. 1989) is a Danish writer and visual artist. She writes poetry and essays and works with photography, video, and collage. She has published two poetry collections, Sammenfald (2021) and BLÅ (2018). In her works, she explores the relation between the human and the non-human. She is particularly interested in bodily knowledge, categorization, the relationship between words and world, thought and matter, and how knowledge is produced and perceived. She regards the artistic work as research, as a way of thinking. Teaching is an important part of her practice, often in the form of site-specific writing workshops with a focus on developing a greater sensibility and attention towards the other(s).

Georgs artistic practice is inherently multidisciplinary. He works within a cross-section of installation and digital arts, storytelling, performance and landscape design on micro and macro scale. He constantly collaborates with scientists, researchers, archeologists, performers, chefs, architects, etc. Georg is fascinated by the natural world and seeks to unveil it through science and mysteria. Most of his recent and upcoming projects are bound to a particular area or a landscape. 

With a renegotiating gaze, the artists look at the city’s asphalt and the calcareous soil to approach an understanding of how humans are entangled in a larger organism. As The Garden Caretaker the two artist’s practices of movement and sound are intertwined with organic matter respectively. In Herlev the artists continue their ongoing project and practise stedSANS (Sense of place), inviting local participants to join the research. Altogether to create a bodily understanding of our kinship with multi-species communities.

Tora Balslev is a performance artist and works to enter into dialogue with materiality and landscapes through dance and choreography. By placing various of the Earth’s building materials and processes in our consciousness, she animates the body to embody e.g. elements, oil, and electricity. Tora Balslev is also the Artistic Director of Daily Fiction.

Felia Gram-Hanssen is a visual artist based in Copenhagen. Her practice consists of performative and installative setups, where she explores translations between sound, image, and movement. Felia’s compositions are driven by curiosity and fascination with how the sounds we surround ourselves with help to provide a more complex picture of the world we live in.

stedSANS is produced by Daily Fiction. www.dailyfiction.dk
