News and events

The TMKM website has for long needed a place for posting news and events, and from May 2024 this is the new space for this. For older events, these will gradually be added to the website. Madsen is also currently working on a website dedicated to their doctoral research to soon be launched (watch this space for its release later in 2024).

Activities June-September 2024

Here you will find a list of upcoming event and activities for Tina Mariane Krogh Madsen.

In June 2024, Madsen facilitated a geological listening session at the old mine area "Blå Lagunen" in Gällivare / Malmberget (SE/Sabme) for the local community (thanks to researcher Karin Reisinger for organizing this event). On this trip, Madsen additionally did field-recordings for their doctoral research near the working mine. It's now midsummer but still a lot to do, below are listed some of the future activities:

July 8-10, The 16th Deleuze and Guattari Studies Conference in Delft (NL) where Madsen present their paper "The potential of failure and the paradox of the false" - Book of abstracts can be found here: https://www.dgs2024.nl/programme

August 15th, at Nordic Culture Point, Kaisaniemi, Helsinki (FI), Madsen will do the performance textual repetition.

August 19th, Madsen present their paper "A vibrational difference of environmental mourning" at the panel Transdisciplinary Arts Beyond History: Artistic Practices as Laboratories for Rehearsing Grief and Co-existence in a Postnatural World (convened by Erich Berger & Marietta Radomska) as part of The World Congress of Environmental History, in Oulu (FI): https://nomadit.co.uk/conference/wceh2024/p/13618

In September Madsen will have a solo installation at artist run gallery Oksasenkatu 11 in Helsinki (FI), titled "[proximity] sensing in, sensing out" (kindly supported by The Danish Arts Foundation's Committee for Visual Arts). The installation includes guest artist facilitators (a detailed program will be released later).

Additionally, on September 24th, Madsen will do their last preexamined component for their doctoral thesis, a performance which takes place on a rock formation in Pasila, Helsinki (watch this space for more info).

Lithic Listening Walk

Tina Mariane Krogh Madsen facilitates a geologically informed listening session at Kitchen Lab Tarvo event on Sunday May 26th 2024.

Tina Mariane Krogh Madsen's listening sessions depart in Madsen's extensive work with listening as a part of their artistic practice and as a certified facilitator of Deep Listening from The Center for Deep Listening, founded by composer Pauline Oliveros.

The listening walk on Tarvo will thus activate tools from this way of working with both physical and aural listening, here extended through Madsen's artistic research in environmental affective relations, proposing an approach to multisensory listening with a specific geological departure-point which activates and considers lithic infrastructures around us.

The session takes place from 14.00-15.30 and is open for everyone regardless of age but will be conducted in English. Note the walk starts from Kitchen Lab Tarvo [See info below].
