Jorinde Voigt (*1977 in Frankfurt am Main) lives and works in Berlin. From 2014 to 2019, she was professor of conceptual drawing and painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. She received her artistic training at the Berlin University of the Arts under Prof. Katharina Sieverding, where she graduated in 2003 and earned the title of master student in 2004. Prior to that, she studied fine arts there with a focus on photography and multimedia, as well as at the Royal College of Art in London as part of the Erasmus program. Her artistic training was complemented by studies in sociology, philosophy, comparative literature, and modern German literature at the Free University of Berlin and the University of Göttingen. Since 2019, she has been professor of painting/drawing at the HFBK Hamburg.
Jorinde Voigt’s drawings and sculptural works develop rigorous, idiosyncratic systems to depict how one’s inner world—such as personal experience, emotion, and memory—intersects with external conditions. She works in series that often refer to a specific theme, using as a starting point a particular text or idea. She develops notational systems of grids, line networks, and patterns that translate parameters such as distance, speed, or frequency into visual compositions. The exploration of music and musical notations has always played an important role in her work.
