“Listening & Walking”
Featuring Hannibal Andersen & Verdensrommet
S for Sound, S for Solidarity: Listening & Walking is a site-specific guided listening walk through Aalborg, where we collectively listen to a double feature of the two new episodes of S for Sound, S for Solidarity - episode 6 with Hannibal Andersen and episode 7 with Verdensrommet as they are premiering on Radio alHara.
With a starting point in Andersen’s public art project “Everything Must Go (Alt Skal Væk)” that took place in Aalborg in 2022, and following up on his ongoing practice incorporating critical gamification in New York, to creating experimental playground environments in Copenhagen, the sixth episode traces intriguing and lesser known trajectories across Andersen’s recent practice. A red thread running through the conversation with Andersen in Episode 6 is art’s role in rethinking ownership and property relations, especially in relation to affordable housing and reconsidering the economics and accessibility of the built environment across local and international contexts.
In the seventh episode members from the experimental, non-profit art organization Verdensrommet unpack their positions within the institution and network for non-EU immigrant artists and creatives in Norway. In connecting a conversation between the peripheral contexts of Trondheim, Norway and Aalborg, Denmark artists and art workers Sara Shooshtari (IR) and Tara Fraser (AU) discuss with Scott William Raby similarities, differences, and challenges they recognize as artists and immigrants located in Norway and Denmark. By doing so, they not only look to highlight and share challenges non-EU immigrant artists face in Scandinavia, but also seek to share transnational knowledge and find solidarity in the art field and more broadly.

Hannibal Andersen (DK) creates images, objects, and interventions that probe the tenets of economic dogma and its impact on society. Through themes such as money, debt, property relations, the commons, and the relentless advance of privatization, his work examines the invisible power of capital and the ideology that sustains it. Andersen’s work has appeared in a wide range of contexts, including Malmö Konsthall, P.A.D. Projects in New York, MAXXI in Rome, PET in Athens, and several institutions in Denmark — including Rønnebæksholm, Den Frie, f.eks., Vermilion Sands, and Kunsthal Charlottenborg, among others.

The network was initiated in March, 2020 to address the precarious conditions of visual artists whose citizenship led them to slip through the state’s support net.
