Title:
Tilo Schulz

Jochen Hempel Gallery, Berlin, 2015

Description

With his solo show at the Jochen Hempel Gallery in Berlin Schulz continues his interest in a conceptual take on painting. Schulz suggested a massive change in the architecture of the gallery. The gallery was closed for two months and after the modification all empty painting’s supports were placed on the walls in the space. Only after that Schulz started acting and painting; he was looking for a relation between the space, the location of the paintings and the actual motives on it.

The slanted two-part painting „No. Home“ was a slightly enlarged detail of the 6 metres wide „A rush and a push and the land we stand on is ours“; the five-part painting „Friendly ghost“ was an almost abstract macro detail and introduced trough its sequences the film „Konsole“, which has been taken from the large painting opposite and was a collaboration with German film makers Bettina Nürnberg and Dirk Peuker. The round tondi worked as an interruption.
