Dansk lydkunsts historier: En kunsthistorisk analyse og kontekstualisering af danske kunstneres arbejde med lyd fra 1948 til ca. 1990 med udgangspunkt i SMKs lydarkiv.

This project will be the first scholarly research into the rich and until now inaccessible and largely unknown sound archive at SMK National Gallery of Denmark. To this day sound art remains a largely unheard and unwritten chapter of Danish art history. With a number of contextualized case studies and drawing on my specialized knowledge of the field, the project will present an outline of the histories of Danish artists' works in sound. The project breaks with and remains critical of narratives that often emphasize the material and ontological status of sound as key parameters for Sound Art. This thematic focus has caused omissions from art history and led research into Sound Art to become a parallel narrative generally not implemented within the context of art history as such. The thesis of this project is that works in sound should be regarded in relation to the surrounding artistic practices and contextualized within a broader art historical scope.
