About
Kristian Hverring, born in Denmark in 1974, is an artist whose work investigates how we perceive sound and the way it informs our experience of the world. Some works transform discarded everyday objects into loudspeakers or uses binaural 3D sound in headphones to make intangible sound vibrations in thin air feel like tactile physical entities.
Kristian is especially interested in how the act of listening is affected by spatial and temporal stimulus. This is reflected in works such as the series 1 + 1 = 3 [30 seconds] where the location and the interaction between the participants are as big a part as the performances in the pieces.
Works include live performances, audio recordings and installations.
Kristian has composed music and created sound design for stage art with a long list of companies and collaborators, among others: Convoi Exceptionnel, The Navidsons and Hotel Pro Forma, with whom he won a Reumert award for Performance Of The Year with NeoArctic in 2017.
Kristian's work has been supported by The Danish Arts Foundation, The Danish Composer's Society, Art Music Denmark (SNYK), The William Demant Foundation and The Augustinus Foundation.
