Discover Catherine Christer Hennix through music at Malmö Konsthall
Music runs like a red thread throughout Catherine Christer Hennix’s artistic practice. From March to May, Malmö Konsthall presents three live performances dedicated to the artist. The concerts feature Kamigaku Ensemble, Hilary Jeffery & Marcus Pal, and a collaboration with Fylkingen.
The exhibition CC Hennix at Malmö Konsthall runs until 17 May and is the first major show in Sweden since the artist’s debut at Moderna Museet in 1976. The exhibition program is centered on Hennix’s music and composition, highlighting the breadth of an artistic practice that pushed the boundaries of how art, sound, and thought can intersect. The live performances in the exhibition are created both by long-term collaborators and by artists inspired by her work. Free admission with a limited number of seats.
Catherine Christer Hennix’s Kamigaku Ensemble
Time: Tuesday 10.3 at 6–9pm
A long-duration, large-scale performance by Kamigaku Ensemble, Catherine Christer Hennix’s final ensemble and musical work. In Hennix’s characteristic style of combination tone harmony, tones fuse into a massive sound field with a seemingly autonomous force.
Musicians: Ellen Arkbro, Mattias Hållsten, Marcus Pal, Susana Santos Silva & Amedeo Maria Schwaller.
Fylkingen c/o Malmö Konsthall
Time: Wednesday 15.4 at 5:30pm (preliminary)
Choreographer Adam Seid Tahir and composer/musician Luka Aron interpret CC Hennix’s musical work through choreography and live music. The program is presented in collaboration with Fylkingen, an artist-run, non-profit association for experimental music and art.
Hilary Jeffery & Marcus Pal
Time: Tuesday 5.5 (multiple performances)
In their first public performance as a duo, Hilary Jeffery and Marcus Pal present a full day of music with roots in their work with Catherine Christer Hennix in the ensemble Chora(s)san Time-Court Mirage.
Hilary Jeffery and Marcus Pal will perform repeatedly throughout the day starting at 11:00 when the exhibition space opens. The day concludes with a continuous episode of sustained tuning, from 17:00 to 18:30, at which point the audience is guaranteed to encounter the music in its fully activated form.
