Signe Heinfelt & Jo Verwohlt: Interference
What happens when you let an artist and researcher loose in the Lower Gallery of Nikolaj Kunsthal? How can stories about atoms, black holes and the history of the universe become sensual art experiences? How can science and art complement each other?
These questions are central to the exhibition “Interference”, which focuses on the fact that it is through light and sound waves that we understand and articulate the world. Composer and Sound Artist Signe Heinfelt and Astrophysicist Jo Verwohlt, who is a researcher at the Niels Bohr Institute, are behind the exhibition.
Nikolaj Kunsthal opens the calendar year 2023 with a spectacular exhibition that stems from a collaboration between an artist and a researcher. During spring, the old sacral church space on Nikolaj Plads – with 12 metres to the ceiling – forms the framework for a kind of experiment examining the complementary capabilities of art and science. How can research within the natural sciences, for example, be strengthened by art – as a sensory and visual communication of abstract and complex phenomena within physics and astronomy.
