Hanne Lippard (*1984, Milton Keynes/UK, lives and works in Berlin) has been using language as the raw material for her work for the last decade, processing it in the form of texts, vocal performances, sound installations, printed objects and sculpture. The artist has developed a practice that lies at the confluence of spoken and written word, wherein she appropriates content from the public sphere, chiefly from online sources or from the field of advertising, to investigate how the rise in digital communication and mediation is reprogramming our relationship to language. Lippard intertwines found text with her own material, which she then manipulates through a variety of devices, such as repetition, the shifting of intonation, or the exploitation of homonyms, in order to formulate musings on contemporary life.

Her recent solo-exhibitions include Somerset House, London (two-person exhibition) (2026); Kunsthall Trondheim (2025); Haus der Kunst, Munich (two-person exhibition) (2025); Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2024); CCA, Berlin (2022); FRAC Lorraine, Metz (2021); MuHKA, Antwerp (2021); Furiosa, Monaco (2021); LambdaLambdaLambda, Prishtina (2022; 2019, 2016); Goethe Pop Up Institute, Minneapolis (2019); Kunsthall Stavanger (2018); FriArt, Fribourg; SALTS, Basel, (2017) and KW, Berlin (2017).
