Curatorial context
The exhibition 'metrics' by artist and musician Katharina Ernst, recipient of this year's H13 award, investigates music as a potential measure of the social. Ernst, a drummer known for her work at the intersection of music, fine arts, and choreography, utilizes "metric" qualities of rhythm and dance to create an immersive, percussive live soundscape. This work masterfully combines minimal music techniques with aesthetics of minimal art, measuring not only the aesthetic but also the political potentials of her media. The H13-Jury highlighted how Ernst's trans-disciplinary translation processes between music, choreography, and architecture question how abstract compositions can serve as mirrors or models for social togetherness.
Katharina Ernst, born in 1987, studied abstract painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and began playing drums at age nine, focusing on complex and chaotic structures. Her collaborations include work with Florentina Holzinger, the Black Page Orchestra, and Kate McIntosh. The exhibition runs from November 23 to December 7, 2024, following a performance and award ceremony on November 22, 2024. An artist talk is scheduled for December 6, 2024.
