Sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard, who in March received the New Carlsberg Foundation's Artist Grant, has created the sound work Naufragium for one of the museum's exhibition galleries.
Naufragium means shipwreck in Latin, and the main object in the room is a 14-metre-long shipwreck from the 15th century, found in connection with the construction of the Opera. The work takes us below the surface, and with the sea as a metaphor for the subconscious, a soundscape and a sensory connection to the ship is created.
To compose this work, Kirkegaard has collected sounds from the depths of Copenhagen Harbour, from the rustling in the sails of historic ships and from Venice.
Curator Regitze Lindø Westergaard introduces the work, and afterwards you can hear it in its full length of 39 minutes. Included in the ticket is entrance to the museum for the rest of the day. After Art Morning, you have the opportunity to enjoy your morning coffee in the café.
