Arendse Krabbe
Denmark
Arendse Krabbe (b. 1979, Denmark) is a visual artist based in Copenhagen whose practice engages with critical listening, initially reflecting on what grounds her listening. Krabbe’s work materializes as audio, video, performance, text, installation and collective sensory and listening situations. Krabbe engages with the local environment in an attempt to create exchanges and enable spaces of differences, complexities, movements and entanglements. Krabbe believes that paying attention through listening holds the potential to create new and other collectivities across species, systems and borders.
Since 2006, Krabbe has collaborated with people living in refugee camps as well as with people who live outside of refugee camps in order to create connections and discussions to articulate and rethink the prevailing racist structures. Krabbe is part of the self-organized radio collective The Bridge Radio. A radio where people with and without Danish citizenship produce radio together based on their experiences with the asylum system.
Within a variety of sensory situations, Krabbe has collaborated with the symbiotic and migrating organism lichen since 2018. They are complex systems unable to delineate, a network structure of extremophiles that drifts. Arendse Krabbe’s work materializes as audio, video, performance, text, installation and collective sensory and listening situations.
Sound designer for Krabbe’s work at MOMENTUM 13 is Felisha Ledesma.
