Join us for Free Lunch on Tuesday 27 January, where Barbara Amalie Skovmand will present her artistic practice, rooted in sound and sculpture. As part of the event, Skovmand will give a small taste of her sonic universe and perform on one of her self-built sound sculptures.

Specifically, Skovmand will perform with one of her après-Baschet sound sculptures, where sound is created by rubbing water-wet fingers along glass rods. The vibrations travel through the sculpture’s metal components and into mirror-polished stainless steel sheets, which amplify and distort the sound. The instrument is entirely acoustic, yet the resulting tones can resemble those of a synthesizer, ranging from rhythmic drones to crystal-clear tones.

About Barbara Amalie Skovmand

Barbara Amalie Skovmand’s work spans sound sculptures, automated musical instruments, musical performance, video, and immersive installations — most of them rooted in scientific themes and in explorations of the ecological crisis, species extinction, nature’s healing power, interspecies symbioses, and attempts at imagining or contacting something more-than-human. Driven by her interest in scientific concepts such as superposition, entanglement, and the origins of matter, she recently visited CERN, invited by the Niels Bohr Institute and Art Hub Copenhagen.

Skovmand holds an MFA in Fine Arts from the Sandberg Institute and a BA in Audio Visual Art from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, both in Amsterdam. She has exhibited and performed nationally and internationally — at the National Gallery of Denmark (SMK), the Marble Church, the Inter Arts Center in Malmö, Blueproject Space in Barcelona, and W139 in Amsterdam, among others — and is part of the artist group at Munkeruphus.
