Abstract

What would happen if the focus were solely on the senses and the ephemerality of gestures and listening as the work of art itself? What if the act of facilitating relation(s) becomes a way to transversally connect to a place, a neighborhood, a city?

Tina Mariane Krogh Madsen’s installation at Oksasenkatu 11 is a laboratory where listening and sensing, moving and relating are core focal points. It is an ephemeral entity which is inhabited by lines of gestures, notes and reflections created collaboratively in the space by the artist and the participating audience. The laboratory installation additionally moves in and outside the gallery space, out in the park, to the street. It accommodates every-body, and it focuses on the micro for us to be aware of the macro. By relating to both what is here and what is absent, we learn about the privilege of the space but also about its potentiality for change. The installation is thought to be a transformational and experimental format which holds exchange as a crucial element, and consists of only minor elements to assist this process.

During the laboratory installation, Madsen will facilitate Deep Listening® sessions, geological listening propositions, and other interventions (both scheduled and spontaneously). Additionally, Madsen has invited guest artists to facilitate moments which relate to sensing, affective listening, queer corporeality and other modalities of knowing. These meetings connect to an embodied and embedded posthuman subjectivity which extends into other agencies and modalities of the world.

[proximity] sensing in, sensing out is part of Madsen’s research in environmental affect and how to hold spaces for others, to be facilitating careful gestures as an artistic practice across agencies and abilities. It additionally experiments with how art installations as performative laboratories can move towards a focus on ephemeral relations and exchange. The installation will additionally offer some of Madsen’s listening sessions as mobile units for groups and individuals who are unable to visit the space, and in this way be inclusive to more audiences.

The guest artists who will facilitate moments in Madsen’s installation will be Sall Lam Toro (13th of September), as well as a poetic proposition by Matias Loikala will be present in the space (ongoing).
