HOPSCOTCH Jazz Hoch Drei

Hopscotch is the name of a quintet that plays jazz with an abstract and open sound. Hopscotch is also the name of a suite written by Clémence Manachère, which interprets Daniel Libeskind's ChamberWorks series of drawings. In Libeskind's ChamberWorks, Clémence found a synthesis between architectural drawing and contemporary musical notation, precise and chaotic at the same time. Following this, the structural logic of the Hopscotch suite became a back-and-forth between flowing melodic lines, abstract cycles of repetition, and textures that merge and reverse, creating an alternation between figuration and abstraction. The structure of the ChamberWorks also describes our world: interconnected layers in which phases of conflict and harmonic epiphanies alternate. In these structures, the theme of symmetry and asymmetry is the common thread of the composition. One drum kit is reflected in another, the guitar blends with the cello, and the flute continues into the soprano saxophone.

I feel it all

The group show features works by Josef Bauer, Tim Hardy, Angelique Heidler, Martin Laborde, Luna Mahoux, Marietta Mavrokordatou, Troy Montez Mitchie, Nicolai Olesen und Jasia Rabiej, Matt Gess with Désirée Nakouzi De Monte, and Andrea Parenti of Collezione Nancy Delroi. The photographic image serves as a point of departure towards various visual pathways and artistic methods. Addressing forms such as fashion photography as well as archival materials, the assumed veracity of photography splits into layers of fantasy, where memory is indistinguishable from desire, and absence morphs into emotional proximity.

The show is part of chess club’s programme as Project space-in-residence at the Kunstverein in Hamburg.
