We are very proud to invite you to Tim Plamper's first exhibition at John Doe Projects.
Tim is currently studying at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste (state academy of fine arts) in Stuttgart and will present installations and collages at our space.
He drills down to the potential of destruction and the ratio and difference between shape and content.
He deals with occurrence and presence, with visual excess, which is all meaningful just because its there.
His work is about cracks in the system, about an artistic counterpart to questions and language bound reflections.
Tim Plamper's work is about the mere visual as an independent alogical system.
Please find attached a statement of the artist regarding the exhibition:
Komm – ich zahl dir die Abtreibung, Baby!
I've watched a movie once
Black and white
Crystals that are growing fast, too fast,
rampant over hills, plains, houses and people.
Everything was put into a motionless order.
That meant horror to me.
The works
I get asked: “What do they mean?“
I reply: “They deal with the pros and cons.
To the point where the ending creates a new beginning.
I think:
“Can questions be asked in a visual way?
If so, how can they be answered?
This belief
Causality
Deductive thinking
Finally leads to a point that remains inexplicable.
The myth
The question: Why? to persevere in practicality
To understand thinking as space
The plasticity of the thoughts
The emotional space
A sentimental space
Isn't language most of all a social space?
What is an image?
An individual space?
A specific space?
A subjective space?”
I start off from one point
A crystallization point
and work the material
The intuition
This brings visible results
Then:
The rethinking
It is all about structures, processes, shifts in meaning
from the actual (the material, also the mimetic)
to the constructed (the space, also the emotional)
What are images with a social relevance?
What means does the artist have?
