Intimate Listening Session
Invite friends and family to The Continuum Broadcast; an intimate at-home listening session where the artists visit you with their radio installation, featuring sound works by the Romanian artist collective Apparatus 22. The pieces explore themes of love, care, and sexuality – told from queer and non-human perspectives. Using voices, sound, and music, the works reflection on what we often take for granted: who is allowed to love whom, what love sounds like, and which narratives are given space in both public and private realms.

A Challenge to Binary Logic
Uniquely, museum visitors have the opportunity to book the work for a private visit, where their living room is transformed into a temporary soundscape. This creates a collective and safe listening experience that invites reflection, conversation, and presence – often among friends and acquaintances gathering for a shared experience. As part of the session, the artist collective facilitates a discussion about the work and the thoughts it inspires. The piece not only challenges gender norms and the binary logic of sexuality, but also highlights radio’s potential as both a democratic and manipulative medium. Apparatus 22 describe their approach as a “moving mental image” – an evocative formation of images that reaches beyond the visible and the physical.

The Continuum Broadcast is a work that insists on sensitivity, activism, and love. It is an invitation to listen – not only with your ears, but with your whole body and mind.

Note: To host a listening session, you must reside in Roskilde Municipality, though guests may live outside the area.

Civis Bloomcraft challenges traditional exhibition formats and explores how local relationships can blossom and make an exhibition grow. With humor, curiosity, and a bit of mystery, Apparatus 22 explores Roskilde as a city, culture, and community, asking where the city’s heartbeat resonates the loudest. The exhibition unfolds over three acts, with the first act kicking off with confetti blasts and a performance. The following acts will feature interactive installations in schools, train stations – and maybe even in your own living room.

Apparatus 22: The artist collective describes itself as a group of dreamers, poetic activists, and (failed) futurists, comprising Maria Farcas, Dragos Olea, Erika Olea, and Ioana Nemes (1979-2011). They are based in Bucharest, Brussels, and Suprainfinit, a utopian universe. For Apparatus 22 everything is up for negotiation and reinterpretation, experimenting with both form and content. Their works span from installations to performances, and texts. Time and space are reimagined and reassembled as the entire city of Roskilde becomes a stage for this exhibition, with works presented across public and private spaces throughout the spring.
