HyperCycleJazz by Katrin Hahner

Annabelle’s home is proud to present Katrin Hahner’s exhibition HyperCycleJazz. The title of the exhibition refers to the field of evolutionary biotechnology and the theoretical concept of hypercycles. Jazz, much like a hypercycle, is an ecosystem of interaction, feedback, and continuous evolution. Katrin proposes her manifesto of HyperCycleJazz.

Katrin Hahner is a visual and sonic art-maker. Most of her work is built on mnemonics or the tracing the memories of an inner and outer landscape. She sculpts with different materials, sometimes tangible like clay or wood or sometimes with words, space and sound. Katrin received her MFA from the Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart and postgraduate studies at Kunsthochschule Weißensee.

Her four releases of original music have been featured in The Guardian, Rolling Stone, BBC, Kulturspiegel, in and her projects and collaborations have been funded or co-funded by Pact Zollverein, Mondriaan Funds, Initiative Musik, Goethe Institut, Senatsverwaltung für Kultur und Europa, Musikfonds, Tanzpakt and Musicboard Berlin. She participated at INTOO Reykjavík Art Festival (IS), SYB Residency (NL), Nida Artist Residency (LTL), Temple of Alternative Histories at Staatstheater Kassel (DE) and at other occasions.

She is interested in the process of myth- and world making and draws from theology, mysticism, ethnomusicology, sociology and science. Currently Katrin is a member of the Pratt Institute NY Mindfulness Collaboratory as well as a member of A_Collective_I, a group of artists investigating collaborative and collective practices through language, ritual and process-based inquiry.
