Jorinde Voigt
Jorinde Voigt - Studies with Christiane Möbus and Katharina Sieverding
Jorinde Voigt was born in Frankfurt am Main on 19th January 1977. During her school years, she took cello lessons at the Akademie für Tonkunst in Darmstadt and with Peter Wolf in Frankfurt, but soon found the music lessons to be strict and restrictive, and so ultimately decided not to make music her main profession. After Jorinde Voigt passed her A-levels in Darmstadt in 1996, she went to Göttingen to study philosophy and modern German literature at the university, followed wo years later by the move to Berlin, where she studied sociology and literature. In 1999, she turned to art for the first time by studying multimedia with Christiane Möbus at the Berlin University of the Arts, whilst the European Union's Erasmus programme enabled Voigt to study further at the Royal College of Art in London in 2001. On her return to Berlin, she moved to Katharina Sieverding's class, where she studied fine art and photography and eventually advanced to master student. In addition to her studies in England, the artist travelled to North America and Indonesia, where she began to draw immediate impressions of her surroundings.

Jorinde Voigt
German artist
Jorinde Voigt is a German artist best known for large-scale drawings that develop complex notation systems derived from music, philosophy, and phenomenology.[1] She is a professor of Conceptual Drawing and Painting at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg. Voigt lives and works in Berlin. [2]
Work
[edit]Voigt’s large-scale drawings often emerge from a system of guidelines and rules and therefore her work has drawn comparisons to Minimalist and Conceptual artists,[3] namely the event scores and visual artworks of the 20th-century avant-garde such as John Cage and Iannis Xenakis;[4] the algorithmic patterns of Hanne Darboven;[5] and the procedural parameters of Sol Lewitt.[6] Yet despite these comparisons, Voigt’s work differs markedly from this lineage, particularly because her rigorous systems emerge from how the inner world—such as personal experience, emotion, and memory intersect with external conditions.[7] Voigt has described such a process as providing “instructions for the imagination.”[8]
In 2002, Voigt turned away from the medium of photography and began to make the drawings that she is best known for, which she has alternately described over the years
