MOMENTUM 13
June 14–October 12, 2025
Moss 1519
Norway
MOMENTUM, the Nordic Biennale of Contemporary Art, is pleased to announce the opening of its 13th edition, Between/Worlds: Resonant Ecologies, curated by Danish curator and academic Morten Søndergaard.
In a world immersed in multiple crises and environmental collapse—MOMENTUM 13 explores sonic reorientations and hidden resonant worlds. It invites us to tune into the quiet, the overlooked, the unheard. Sound as a way to reorient how we live and as a medium for unprepared listening
Between/Worlds: Resonant Ecologies launches on June 13 with a five-day programme of performances, installations, guided listening sessions, and artist-led interventions across the city of Moss and surrounding natural sites, and continues until October 12 with a presentation of over 40 works that invite us to tune into the vibrational, ecological, and political dimensions of sound.
Rooted in philosopher Bruno Latour’s notion of genorienteringsproces—a process of orientation between worlds—Between/Worlds: Resonant Ecologies unfolds as a series of five interconnected transit zones, each offering a unique sonic and spatial experience that explore the horizontal dynamics of ecological perception, where human, non-human, and inorganic actors resonate and interact within shared environments.
Participating artists and works
International and Nordic artists whose work intersects with sound, technology, and media will explore the transformative power of sound and the liminal spaces between human and non-human worlds by way of installations, performances, site-specific works, concerts and workshops.

This edition of MOMENTUM delves into the unseen and under-heard worlds that shape our everyday existence. Sound, as both a perceptual and physical force, has the power to reveal connections, narratives, and transformations that exist between landscapes, histories, and species. By amplifying sound’s ability to traverse boundaries, Between/Worlds: Resonant Ecologies rethinks the relationship between art, ecology, and the human experience, proposing an alternative understanding of coexistence through resonance and vibration.
Curator Morten Søndergaard notes, “Between/Worlds: Resonant Ecologies proposes sonic reorientation as a way of learning to listen differently—locally, relationally, and with care. In an age of ecological and perceptual crisis, sound art becomes a method of undoing filters, revealing what we overlook or tune out. Listening is never neutral; it’s shaped by context, memory, and power. MOMENTUM 13 invites visitors to pause, attend, and resonate with the complex ecologies that surround—and include—all of us.”
Galleri F 15 and MOMENTUM director, Lise Pennington, adds, “In a time of ecological crisis, sound offers us a compass—a way to reorient ourselves toward entangled worlds we too often ignore. The artists in Between/Worlds: Resonant Ecologies remind us that perception is not passive; it is a form of participation. Listening is a political and ecological act, a way of being accountable to the worlds we inhabit and affect. I hope audiences will experience a shift: a deeper sense of entanglement, and perhaps, a renewed commitment to act. Our world is not silent. We must decide how—and whether—we are willing to listen.”
Between/Worlds: Resonant Ecologies takes place from June 14 to October 12, 2025 at Galleri F 15 in Moss, Norway. It is complemented by a fully illustrated catalogue with contributions from Brandon LaBelle, Barbara London, Luz María Sánchez Cardona, Morten Søndergaard and Anette Vandsø.
