Christian Naujoks invites you to conscious listening in Bielefeld
What does your listening sound like? In the Kunstverein Bielefeld, Christian Naujoks combines music, visual art, and artistic research into an extraordinary listening situation. His work focuses on the eardrum, the smallest movements in the inner ear, and those moments when sound transforms from external noise to internal sensation.
When sound reaches the body
The multi-channel sound work is created specifically for the Kunstverein Bielefeld and explores the transition from language to music. Voice, spoken texts, rhythm, and sound intertwine, separate from one another, and form a fragile acoustic landscape. The audience experiences composition not just as a concert, but as a spatial and bodily event.
Minimalism between music and art
Christian Naujoks works at the intersection of contemporary music, ambient, electronic sound forms, and visual art. His interdisciplinary practice includes sound installations, film, graphic and textual notations, sculptural works, musical pieces, as well as performative expressions. In his orchestration of listening, chamber musical reduction, rhythmic precision, and open soundspaces meet.
An exhibition as an expanded concert experience
The exhibition Can you hear how you hear? The movement of your eardrum? The shimmering of microscopically small hairs? continues the Kunstverein Bielefeld's engagement with the sense organ ear. The work questions different forms of audibility and the diversity of individual listening experiences. A printed word can stand alongside a spoken one, a glance can complement a sound, and a gesture can become a means of communication.
Christian Naujoks and his musical language
The artist, who grew up in Lübeck, has released albums including Untitled, True Life / In Flames, Wave, and Soft Mouth Data Service. His music connects electronic textures with piano, marimba, voice, guitar sounds, and minimalist techniques. Releases with the Hamburg label Dial Records, as well as grants and awards such as the Musicboard Berlin Scholarship and the Villa Romana Prize, highlight his significance within the contemporary music and art scene.
Conclusion: Listening as a shared moment
On Sunday, October 11, 2026, the Kunstverein Bielefeld will transform into a resonance space for sound, body, and perception from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Visitors can expect not an ordinary concert, but a focused concert experience between sound installation, exhibition, and artistic research. Those who want to not only hear music but experience it physically and spatially will find Christian Naujoks here in a particularly fitting setting.
