Thomas Winkler @ Tif ́s Desk
I’m too glad to tell you
February 9 – March 16, 2013
I am happy to invite you to Thomas Winkler's exhibition I ́m too glad to tell you at my Ikea desk. Winkler, with whom by the way, I have opened for the Hateful Deads in Chicago, has for now more than ten years documented his life on behalf of Worldwide Expressionism (with his so called "layouts with photos and captions" which he then transforms into the medium of painting.) In his exhibition I ́m too glad to tell you, the artist is now showing his 58th layout, as well as a painting that he made with 100% UV-resistant acrylic paint.
"To me, Tif ́s Desk is one of the most interesting exhibition venues in America, since it is concerned with an essential aspect of my creative work: the irreconcilability of art and labor. I find this pretty cool!"
Thomas Winkler, 2013
Winkler's last exhibition took place at Galerie Christine Mayer in Munich.
In 2013, he will organize several conceptual group exhibitions, for instance at Kunstverein Bonn, at Kunstverein Weiden, and at European Fine Art, a Berlin based gallery Winkler runs in cooperation with the artists André Butzer and Ulrich Wulff.
Winkler is co-director of Verlag Heckler und Koch, Berlin.
