Venue
Born 1989 in Graz, Austria.
Lives and works in Paris, France.
Working with video, sculpture, paint and photography, Philipp Timischl produces a hybrid oeuvre that questions traditional value systems. These three pieces, taken from the Talking paintings series, combine painting and LED panels, in order to add a time-based element to his otherwise static monochrome canvases. By using moving texts and images, the artist imparts to his works an ability for self-expression, rejecting their object status and transforming them into subjects. Endowed with this new autonomy, his Talking paintings disregard norms, convey to us their feelings, joke and complain. They disrupt traditional boundaries between disciplines and challenge a static version of art history.
Also on view at the Fagor factories.
