BJ Nilsen (SE\/NL) is a Swedish sound artist and composer based in Amsterdam. His work explores the relationship between sound, space, and perception, using field recordings and subtle electronic processing to create immersive, often site-specific compositions. Over the past 30 years, he has released more than 25 audio works\u2014including Irreal (Editions Mego, 2021) and the forthcoming True than Nature (Ideologic Organ, 2025)\u2014and has composed original scores and sound design for film, television, theatre, dance, and visual art. Nilsen\u2019s collaborations span a wide range of artists and disciplines, including Karl Lemieux, Femke Herregraven, \u00d6rjan Andersson, and J\u00f3hann J\u00f3hannsson. His sound works have featured in films such as Sicario (dir. Denis Villeneuve), Enter the Void (dir. Gaspar No\u00e9), and I Am Here (dir. Anders Morgenthaler), as well as in film works created with Lemieux, including Unearthed (2015), Yujiapu (2017), and Plateformes (2025). His work has also been presented at major art events such as the Gwangju Biennial, Nottingham Contemporary and the Prix de Rome, in collaboration with Femke Herregraven.

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anna Schimkat, bildende K\u00fcnstlerin in Mainz und Leipzig, betritt mit Installationen und Performances die Klangkunst. Sie komponiert R\u00e4ume, die Wahrnehmung sch\u00e4rfen und Handlungen der Betrachtenden beeinflussen. Ausgangspunkt sind selbstgebaute Instrumente und Feldaufnahmen der Welt um uns. In ihrer recherchebasierten, interdisziplin\u00e4ren Praxis untersucht sie, wie Erfahrungen entstehen und wie das Bewusstsein f\u00fcr Klang gesch\u00e4rft werden kann. Gefundene Ger\u00e4usche und Kl\u00e4nge dienen ihr als Material, das sie spielerisch erforscht, um spezifische T\u00f6ne, Rhythmen und Resonanzen freizulegen.
Neben Arbeiten im \u00f6ffentlichen Raum wurden ihre Werke international gezeigt, u. a. am Goethe-Institut (Damaskus), im Kunstraum Michael Barthel (Leipzig), bei 24 Gauche Series (Montreal), im ausland (Berlin), beim Longbridge Light Festival (Birmingham), beim Vadehavsfestival (Bl\u00e5vandshuk), im Inact Festival (Stra\u00dfburg), bei BB15 (Linz), in der Galerie f\u00fcr zeitgen\u00f6ssische Kunst (Leipzig), beim RE:FLUX Festival (Moncton), im Deutschen Haus (New York City), beim Seanaps Festival (Leipzig), im Festspielhaus Hellerau (Dresden) und weiteren Stationen in Europa und den USA.
