‘What is listening, what is language?’ is an edited conversation between the artist Morten Poulsen, Lara Ostan Vejrup and Laurits Malthe Gulløv.

All three have been part of Enhanced Practice which is a new transdisciplinary artist development and mentorship program for artists who have recently graduated from one of the seven national institutions for higher art education in Denmark. It is organized by the cross-institutional International Center for Knowledge in the Arts to give young artists across music, film, performing arts and visual arts possibilities for developing their practice in research-based, collaborative and socially engaged ways.

Morten, Lara and Laurits talks about urgency, sustainability, listening and the relationship between art and language.

They begin by introducing themselves and what they have been working on during the Enhanced Practice program.

The sound bites used in this episode are of different kinds - the recordings used now and again are by Morten Poulsen recorded as part of his project House of Ears, and all the archival sound material and snippest of music that occurs is added by Jan Høgh Stricker, who have edited and produced this podcast.  

The conversation took place in Morten Poulsens exhibition and project space House of Ears in Vesterbro, Copenhagen.
