MOMENTUM 13 | Between/Worlds: Resonant Ecologies
MOMENTUM, one of the most anticipated events in the Nordic art scene, returns for its 13th edition under the theme Between/Worlds: Resonant Ecologies. Opening on 14 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 site-specific 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.
Curator Morten Søndergaard shares his vision: “Between/Worlds: Resonant Ecologies seeks to unravel the resonant connections that tie human and non-human ecologies. Sound, as a medium, shifts our sensibility—it attunes us to worlds otherwise hidden, invites us to experience the unseen, and propels us beyond human-centric narratives. This is a biennale that prioritises experience, imagination, and the profound momentum of art that vibrates between worlds.”
Sites of resonance
The biennale will unfold across a constellation of venues and natural landscapes, each chosen for its resonance with the theme:
–Galleri F 15: The historic heart of MOMENTUM, located on the island of Jeløy, will host installations that reimagine the boundaries of sound and storytelling
–City of Moss: Urban spaces and architectural sites will be transformed into soundscapes, revealing the hidden sonic layers of the city’s identity
–Alby forest and fjord: Nature’s resonances will be amplified through art, connecting visitors to the ecological hum of forests, fjords, and the volcanic island of Jeløy
Between/Worlds: Resonant Ecologies will take place from June 14 to October 12, 2025 at Galleri F 15 in Moss, Norway. It is the first biennale led by the recently appointed director of Galleri F 15 and MOMENTUM, Lise Pennington.
