PUBLIC_RETREAT

PUBLIC RETREAT is an interdisciplinary, practice-based art project centered around the exploration of our common auditory urban environment and the human, non-human and more than human experiences of and relations to it.  The project is led by composer and sound artist Nicole Cecilie Bitsch Pedersen (DK), visual artist and writer Jo Mikkel Sjaastad Huse (NO) and architect and artist Johanna Fager (SE), with an international network of collaborators and conversation partners engaged. Through artistic research, sound works, text, installations, radio broadcasts, workshops and exhibitions, our aim is to engage fellow citizens to contemplate on the role of sounds in our lives, from their purely physical properties to their emotional, psychological, and physiological impact.
