Music, Human, Material - The Design of HANS 2013 is Taken Over by Boris Kupczik
Hamburg, 14.11.2013. The decision on who will receive the Hamburg Music Prize HANS this year is still pending, but it is now clear who will be the first to hold the trophies: Designer Boris Kupczik will take over the design of the music awards. He has complete freedom in choosing the materials and design, with only the basic shape of the depicted "gate" to be retained. How the HANS will ultimately look will only be revealed during its award ceremony on Wednesday, November 27, at the Hamburg Mojo Club. "Even we organizers do not know what kind of HANS awaits us in the end. The designer has absolute artistic freedom," says HANS originator and co-initiator Alexander Maurus.
"I am very pleased to be able to design the trophies this year," says Boris Kupczik. "The combination of the different creative fields of music and design is an exciting task." The focus of the Hamburg native's work is on product and spatial design. Among other things, he designed cable-free and switch-free LED lights, safety wheels with integrated reflectors, and concepts for lounge areas and agency furnishings. He has also designed three award trophies: the Hanse Globe, the Crystal Cabin Award, and the Most Contagious. Last year, Boris Kupczik founded the agency BKID after being the owner of Frank Frame designcorporation for six years. Additionally, the 37-year-old has participated in various exhibitions, such as the international design festival DMY in Berlin and the Design Parcours in Munich.
The HANS 2013 will be awarded in eight categories – from "Hamburg Artist of the Year" to "Hamburg Media Format of the Year" to "Hamburg Song of the Year." Among those competing for the Hamburg Music Prize are Bosse, Johannes Oerding, DJ Koze, N-JOY NEU, the Elbjazz Festival, and "Inas Nacht." Götz Bühler will host the award ceremony at the Mojo Club.
This year, the HANS celebrates its fifth anniversary. The Norddeutscher Rundfunk has supported, accompanied, and promoted the HANS as a media partner for radio, television, and the internet from the very beginning. Since 2009, the Hamburger Volksbank and the Hamburg Kreativgesellschaft mbH have also been committed to the HANS.
