Morten Poulsen Resistance Loudness Echo





Resistance Loudness Echo
Solo exhibition

Filled with lived experience, sound can aim to protest and awake the listener to join in revolt. It is a physical force that unsettles established ideologies, when fat, flesh and bones collide with dominant structures. Amidst both agitational noise and systemic silence, listening helps us to practice our sensitivity and ability to respond. From this point, artist Morten Poulsen and friends presents works from 2024 featuring experimental punk music and sound installations.

At the opening on Friday October 4th, there will be a performance by UK/DK-based trumpet-player Ben Rodney. Music in the exhibition was created in collaboration with danish punk-band Utæt.

Throughout his practice and research, artist Morten Poulsen is interested in the ways in which we are embedded in socio-political structures. Fundamental to his work is the understanding of listening as a transformative activity that has a potential to (re)form the listener(s). Mortens artistic work has been exhibited widely at exhibition spaces such as Kunstbygningen i Vrå (Ung Dansk Samtidskunst), Kunsten Museum of Contemporary Art in Aalborg, Kunsthal Aarhus, Skjold Contemporary, SixtyEight Art Institute and c4 Projects. His research has been published by Seismograf (DK) and presented at PARSE Biennal for Artistic Research in Gothenburg (SE). He has a background as drummer and composer, and has toured internationally with the underwater concert Aquasonic. He is educated at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory and the International Center for Knowledge in the Arts in Copenhagen. He teaches sound art and music production at the youth club Musikloftet in Copenhagen. - www.morten-poulsen.dk

The exhibition is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, KODA Culture and Vesterbro Lokaludvalg. Thanks to Anders Aarvik and MUVE.

About

Ladder Space is an eclectic exhibition space that encapsulates what surrounds it. In a stable building at Halmtorvet – which also functions as a studio collective – exhibitions and performances manifest, in addition to activities of more processual, temporary, and communal character.

The exhibition space strives to resemble how we encounter the world today, as leaping and association-driven, where we scroll through a reality that is intertwined, paradoxical and interchangeable. Instead of curating the exhibitions based on a single idea or a set frame of references or preferences, we examine the chaotic and paradoxical concept of housing many different practices under one roof and let themes and associations flow freely and weave in and out of the different activities. The eclectic becomes a tool to generate new meanings, understandings and coherence and use this openness towards the chaotic as a method to create new forms of dialogue and add nuance and complexity to the activities and conversations that take place in Ladder Space.
