Thomas Zipp I RESPONSE TO TRANSIENT AND STEADY STATE FLICKERING STIMULI
29 Apr - 26 Jun 2021
Exhibition Opening: 29. April 2021, 12 - 7 pm
Thomas Zipp's exhibition for Gallery Weekend 2021 is conceived as a space-specific overall experience that brings together works of different media such as painting, sculpture and performance in an installation in situ. Titled Response to Transient and Steady State Flickering Stimuli, Zipp once again addresses functions of the human perceptual apparatus in relation to mental processes, as well as scientific approaches to their exploration beyond the academic mainstream.
Zipp negotiates these often complex theoretical contexts by creating transformational images, objects, and situations that are as concise as they are multi-layered. On the one hand, they are based on a profound examination of the respective subject matter, and on the other hand, they are developed from a vocabulary that is all his own, rhizome-like, linking the most diverse aspects of art and cultural history with the subject matter, for which he is widely known as an artist.
A good insight into Zipp's work, which now spans more than two decades, is provided by the recently published overview A 23, the public presentation of which will take place in the course of the exhibition.
