Annika Kahrs. OFF SCORE
In the organizer's words:
The Hamburger Bahnhof is showing the Berlin artist Annika Kahrs with the most comprehensive selection of her works to date at the interface of art and music. In her videos, Kahrs explores the cultural and social functions of music: in an abandoned church in Lyon, at the parade of an intergenerational orchestra in an Italian village or in Berlin department stores.
The video and sound installations in the East Wing and the historical passageways as well as the live performances "For Two To Play On One" (2012) in the Forum Hamburger Bahnhof create sonic spaces that constantly surprise visitors as they walk through the museum. More than ten video works, sound installations and performances from the last 15 years will be presented at selected locations in the Hamburger Bahnhof, the Musikinstrumenten-Museum and in public spaces.
Annika Kahrs (born 1984 in Achim, Germany) explores the edges of what is considered music. Performances, film works and sound installations show the significance of music and sound in social, cultural and political structures. Kahrs has exhibited at the 16th Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art (2022); LAXART, Los Angeles (2021); Flat Time House, London (2019); Savvy Contemporary, Berlin (2018); Hamburger Kunsthalle (e.g. 2017); 5th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art (2015); KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin (2012); Bienal Internacional de Curitiba, Brazil (2013); Bundeskunsthalle, Bonn (2011). She has been awarded prizes and grants, including Villa Aurora, Los Angeles (2023) and the George Maciunas Prize endowed by René Block (2012).
