Udstillingen The Hammer Without a Master: Henning Christiansen's archive løber fra den 22. juni til den 11. august, 2013, og åbner med en todages performance festival på Møen i weekenden den 22-23. juni.

Festivalen er dedikeret til kompositioner og visuelle værker af den nu afdøde danske Fluxus kunstner og komponist Henning Christiansen. The Hammer Without a Master indvier den nye bygning til Kunsthal 44 Møen, der med tiden skal fungere som sommerresidens for unge komponister, kuratorer og kunstnere samt huse "Henning Christiansens arkiv".

 Projektets omdrejningspunkt er en billedkunstudstilling, en performances serie og elementer fra Henning Christiansens værker.

Unge kunstnere fra Danmark, Norge og Sverige er blevet bedt om at udvikle nye værker til festivalen med udgangspunkt i Henning Christiansens arkiver. Det er Mia Edelgart (DK), Jacob Kirkegaard, (DK) Tori Wrånes (NO), Leif Elggren (S), Marja-leena Sillanpää (S) og de unge komponister Tobias Kirstein (DK), Andreas Führer (DK), Johannes Lund (DK), Vagn E. Olsson (DK). Festivalen er kurrateret af artist in residence Chiara Giovando.

»To me, music is love. I love how music allows you to skip the small talk and connect directly with people’s innermost selves. It is an extraordinary and moving way to meet one another.«

Fenja wrote her first song at the age of twelve – about a polar bear dying due to climate change – and themes of existentialism, nature, and her own sensitive nature came to define the lyrics and sound she has since developed. She released her debut album, Flugtdyr, in 2021, and in February 2026, she released the album Menneskedyr.

On Wednesday, 5 August 2026, it happened again: a chord in John Cage’s Organ2/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) changed after two and a half years. Classic FM reports.

The work was written by the American avant-garde composer John Cage in the mid-1980s. The score consists of eight pages of music, and, as the title suggests, the instruction is to play it »as slow as possible.«

»What music is to me? Where have the great feelings gone?«.
