Between/Worlds: Resonant Ecologies

MOMENTUM, the Nordic Biennale of Contemporary Art

The 13th edition of the MOMENTUM biennale will be an investigation and celebration of sound and an exploration of the relations between the natural and cultural worlds of Moss, Norway.

Opening in June, 2025, the biennale invites audiences to embark on an extraordinary journey of soundscapes and stories, bridging the boundaries of human and non-human worlds. Curated by Morten Søndergaard, MOMENTUM 13 situates itself as a platform for “ultra-local” experiences and transformative engagements with the resonant connections between art, sound, and ecology.

Through approximately 40 projects, MOMENTUM 13 delves into the resonances between ultra-localities in Moss—its cityscapes, forests, fjords, and the island of Jeløy—and their intersections with global ecological and technological phenomena.

A call to listen

MOMENTUM 13 challenges audiences to step into a space of “unprepared listening”—to tune into the resonant ecologies around them, often overlooked or unheard. Whether through the hum of a forest, the crash of waves, or the mechanical rhythms of a city, the biennale offers a profound reminder of art’s capacity to connect us to the intricate, interdependent webs of existence.

The biennale is organized by Galleri F 15 with Morten Søndergaard as curator.
