Sonic Museion

Nine Days of Green is a nine-day festival of sound art unfolding across Sorgenfri Torv, Greens Bookshop, the front shop, and surrounding public spaces. Through installations, sound walks, listening scores, workshops, performances, DJ relays, a sound art library, and shared formats such as the Sonic Soup and the A/E Train excursions, the festival turns the square into a temporary sonic institution where art, everyday life, poetry, and listening practices meet. It brings together international and local artists in a program that is at once exhibition, public platform, archive-in-the-making, and social listening laboratory.

At the same time, Nine Days of Green is conceived as the first full-scale prototype of the future Biennial of Sound Art: the flagship recurring format of Sonic Museion – Museum for Sound Art. In this sense, the festival is not only an event, but an institutional beginning. It tests the curatorial, social, and spatial formats that will define Sonic Museion’s larger vision: making sound art publicly visible, developing new forms of exhibition and listening, and building a resonant cultural infrastructure where archive, research, public life, and artistic experimentation can meet.

Profile
Sonic Museion – Museum for Sound Art is a museum, archive, and public platform dedicated to the histories, practices, and futures of sound art. We exist to make audible what has too often remained unheard: the decisive role of sound in shaping modern and contemporary art, culture, and technology. Through exhibitions, archives, research, education, and site-responsive projects, Sonic Museion works to bring sound art into clearer public, historical, and institutional focus. Grounded in listening as an aesthetic, social, and ecological practice, the museum operates both as a place and as a living cultural infrastructure.

Vision
Our vision is to become a leading international point of reference for sound art and listening culture: a museum where sound is not only exhibited, but explored as a way of knowing, sensing, and being in the world. Sonic Museion seeks to connect artistic experimentation with ecology, public life, and everyday listening, creating resonant spaces where new forms of awareness, participation, and cultural imagination can emerge.

Mission
Our mission is to develop, document, preserve, and share sound art as a critical and collective cultural practice. We do this by activating overlooked histories, building new archives of examples from the field, commissioning and presenting artistic work, and creating public formats for listening through exhibitions, workshops, walks, talks, and collaborations. Sonic Museion aims to strengthen sonic awareness as a cultural competence and to position sound art as an essential part of contemporary cultural life.
