Hannan Jones works with electronic sound and rhythm to create sonic environments connected to plural identity, shared and personal history, and psychogeographic locatedness.
Ahead of her performance ‘Relay’ with Samir Kennedy, Jones shares her recent sonic research, developed during residencies at both Triangle, Marseille and Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridgeshire, a continued line of enquiry that was initiated by an invitation to participate in a 2022 Roundtable Conversation at The Common Guild.
Hannan Jones is an artist of Algerian and Welsh origin raised on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja, Western Australia, now based in Glasgow. Research-led and process driven, she practices at the intersections of moving-image, installation and sound.
Jones deep-dives into concepts of hybridity, language, and rhythms that are associated with cultural and social migration, and psychogeography. Sonically, Jones’ approach is rooted in improvisation, electronics, music concrète, and analogue recordings. Using samples and layering of audio material to create alternate possibilities, reclaim parallel histories, and reimagine connections between them. She is a graduate of the Sculpture and Environmental Art department at The Glasgow School of Art, and from 2020-2021 she was an Associate Artist of Open School East.
Previous presentations include Triangle, Marseille; Artes Mundi and the National Roman Legion Museum, Caerleon; CCA Annex; Cafe Oto, London; Edinburgh Art Festival; New Radicalisms, Rotterdam; Tate Lates, Tate Modern, London and REWIRE, The Hague and La Chunky, Glasgow. Hannan is a 2023 Oram Award winner and at present she is resident at Wysing Arts Centre.
