Schafe Statt Geigen / Sounding Crisis / Green Library / Green Dinner/
Day two of the GRØN MUSIK festival – a day of sound art, performance, exhibitions and green food!
4pm – SHEEP INSTEAD OF VIOLINS
‘Schafe Statt Geigen – Opus 186’ (‘Sheep Instead of Violins’) is a sound installation with sheep as musicians in a castle of straw bales, originally created by the Danish composer and Fluxus artist Henning Christiansen. The work was first performed at Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria in 1988. For GRØN MUSIK it will be recreated by scenographer Rachel Dagnall and visual artist/archivist Thorbjørn Reuter Christiansen, together with a flock of Spælsau sheep.
In Agerupgård’s old horse stable there will be an exhibition with Henning Christiansen’s original sketches and drawings for ‘Sheep Instead of Violins’, as well as documentation of previous performances of the work.
5pm – SOUNDING CRISIS
Sound researcher Ania Mauruschat presents her project ‘Sounding Crisis’ about sounds and energy in a time of climate change, seen in a global perspective from Australia to Samsø. The focus is on three case studies: on so-called ‘songlines’ among Aboriginal people in Western Australia, frame drums among the Inuit in Kalaallit Nunaat, Greenland and the use of music at demonstrations by climate activists in Copenhagen. In her lecture, Ania will play audio clips and open a conversation with the audience.
Ania Mauruschat is a journalist, author and researcher with a focus on radio, sound, art and nature. She was born and raised in Berlin and has lived and worked in Munich, Basel, Sydney, Copenhagen and Nuuk, among other places. Since the winter of 2024/25, she has been living and working in Stauns on Samsø.
6pm – GREEN LIBRARY
The green room at Agerupgård used to function as a meeting place, where shared meals were served for the farm’s employees. For GREEN MUSIC, the room will function as a library and shop with relevant publications in relation to the weekend’s themes, collected by TERRAFORM and Henning Christiansen Archive. The library will open with a short introduction to the collection’s highlights.
6:30pm – GREEN DINNER
For the occasion, artist duo Juliane Schreiber and Hannah Giese will prepare a green long table dinner. Their usual artistic specialty is textile and text / textile and space, respectively. But during dinner on Friday night it will be all about texture and color! The food will be vegetarian, organic and local. Different types of fresh herbs will dominate the green menu.
Price: 200 kr (drinks can be purchased at the bar)

Artist Juliane Schreiber (GER) warmly invites you to join her workshop, which she will host during her Artist Residency on Agerupgård. As a conclusion of her time on the island, she will offer an insight into her work process and use this as an opportunity to bring people together to reflect on (movement) lines and (gathering) points of the community. This reflection will take place through small drawing experiments. The final goal is to create a flag together. The freestyle printing technique we will use is called frottage, which allows us to work intuitively. We will also do some hand stitching. There is no need to be experienced in printing or hand stitching. It is mainly about coming together and jointly creating and installing the flag. We finish with a small lunch together.

The island of Samsø, as a unity and a field of relationships, is the focus of Juliane’s artistic research. The textile and spatial artist aims to observe the movements across and beyond the island, explore communication paths and points of orientation, capturing the rhythm of life on the island. Her ongoing research, which began in 2023 with a focus on deep-sea cables, addresses the delicate nature of connection – these cables linking continents and enabling global communication. The vulnerability of the line – the system as a whole – has become an important element in her work.
On Samsø, Juliane is shifting focus from the abstract, „invisible‟ cables to the island’s immediate environment, its rootedness, and interpersonal bonds to understand the patterns of connection that exist here.
The workshop is in english.
Participants: max. 10 people
Sign up via info@agerupgaard.dk
Duration: about 3 hours
Location: Agerupgård 6, 8305
Cost: free

In this article with an extensive photo series, the focus is on our simple life by the Schlei and the resource seagrass, which Kristian Dittmann uses for his pillows and which I incorporate into my art. In addition, a numbered edition of unique outdoor pillows has been created in collaboration with the Strand-Manufaktur.

The textile work “Felder” (2018) was featured in the Belgian A+ Magazine as part of the inspiring photo-essay by Flore Fockedey.
Here, you can see “Felder” on the right side.
It is accompanied by a work of Hana Miletic, which you can see on the left side.
“Op vraag van A+ stelde Flore Fockedey, architect en textielontwerpster, een foto-essay samen van projecten die haar doorheen de jaren zijn opgevallen en bijgebleven. De interventies tonen steeds een bijzondere interpretatie van tactiliteit, textuur, ruimte of lichamelijkheid.“ Introduction to the photo-essayPhotography: Tom De Visscher (right), Stine Sampers (left)

WORLD OF INTERIORS December 2023
The textile installation “Treehouse” was featured in the magazine World-of-Interiors in an article by Tree Sherriff about the apartment of art-collector Silka Rittson-Thomas.
The artwork was commissoned in 2022.
“(...)But nowhere, perhaps, has a maker’s context been more intimately interwoven here than in the guest bedroom. ‘I have always been intrigued by tented rooms,’ Silka explains as we enter. Here she has conjured high-gloss, aubergine walls and, against the window, wall and ceiling, acres of fluid draped silk. As ever, the provenance of this is paramount. Juliane Schreiber is a German textile artist who lives on the Baltic Sea. For this room, she hand-dyed antique silk with stain made from the walnut tree in her mother’s garden.
The nuts, leaves, bark and shells were all used to create the myriad different tones. Schreiber then hand-stitched each dyed panel together and sewed intact walnuts from the original tree into the hem of the curtains to weigh them down. The result is a room that ripples with light made (literally) material, which suggests the ephemeral but also possesses a solidity that comes from the purple paintwork and the tulipwood bed by Sarah Staton.(...)”
