Lars Lundehave

Lars Lundehave Hansen (DK) works with sound as an artistic material and a central element in his works. With more than 25 years of experience as a composer and sound artist, he has distinguished himself as one of the country’s visionary pioneers in the field. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, Lundehave Hansen has received awards both nationally and internationally. In 2021, the very special publication 20 Years of Sound Art was published, which collected and documented a number of the highlights of his extensive production.

The physical and technical experiments are central to Lars Lundehave Hansen’s productions – including in the concrete visualizations of sound, which point back to some of the pioneers of sound art in their ambition to unite the sculptural with the instrumental. “The relationship between work and sound work has been a central dynamic throughout my production. While in the beginning it was the sound itself and its dynamics that I concentrated on shaping as works of art in themselves, over time I have moved towards something else – namely works of art that are experienced as sound. This distinction has been an important consideration along the way,” says Lars Lundehave Hansen.

Lundehave Hansen has performed all over the world and has a long list of commissions, collaborations, exhibitions and releases to his name.
