Austria. 1989.

Philipp Timischl is an artist born in 1989 in Graz. Coming from the rural countryside of Austria, he is now living and working in Paris, France. His practice mainly consists of combining painting with video, often including text and culminating in site-specific installations. Timischl’s work is filled with humor, while also delving into the recurring themes of power dynamics between social classes, often in relation to queerness, roots, and the art world. 

He recently had solo exhibitions at Secession Vienna; Museum of Contemporary Art Belgrade; Confort Moderne, Poitiers; High Art, Paris; Kunstverein Heidelberg; MGK Siegen; Gallery Layr, Vienna and Rome; Vilma Gold, London; Neue Alte Brücke, Frankfurt; and Künstlerhaus Graz. 

His work was shown in group exhibitions at NGV Triennial, Melbourne; Biennale de Lyon; Marta Herford; Kunsthalle Bielefeld; Kunsthalle Bern; Kunstwerke Berlin; MECA, Bordeaux; Luma Foundation Zürich; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin; Dortmunder Kunstverein; Belvedere 21, Vienna; Kunsthalle Vienna; Serpentine Gallery, London, amongst others.
