Born in 1984 in England, Hanne Lippard grew up in Norway before settling in Berlin. Lippard has been using language as the raw material for her work for the last eight years, processing it in texts, vocal performances, sound installations and printed or three-dimensional objects.
For Ulyd, Hanne Lippard has created a series of new works that explore the social forces governing female verbal expression. After developing a mastery of the performative characteristics of language (rhythm, intonation, modulation, volume), the artist is now appropriating linguistic obscenity in relation to what is traditionally expected of female verbal expression: politeness and gentleness.
