Henning Christiansen
Danish composer and Fluxus pioneer Henning Christiansen (1932-2008) revolutionized musical practice by dismantling hierarchies between composer, performer, and audience. His legendary collaboration with Joseph Beuys spanned decades, producing groundbreaking performances that merged sound, visual art, and political activism. Co-founder of the 44Møn artists' colony on the island of Møn, Christiansen created a space where art and daily life intersected. His conceptual works used everyday materials as musical notation, transforming fixed scores into fluid, participatory experiences.
