Life

Klaus Killisch studied painting from 1981 to 1986 at the Berlin-Weißensee School of Art . Klaus Killisch lived and worked for a long time in France, Italy, Ireland, Japan and the USA through scholarships or as part of projects. Shortly after German reunification in 1990, he took part in the group exhibition L'autre Allemagne hors les murs in the Grande Halle de la Villette in Paris. In the same year he exhibited with other Berlin artists in the German pavilion at the Venice Biennale .

With the traveling exhibition "Berlin Art Scene" Killisch was in 1991 in the Sezon Museum of Art in Tokyo, and two years later in the National Museum Art Gallery in Singapore and in the Hong Kong Museum of Art. The exhibitions took place in cooperation and with the support of the Goethe- Institute . In the late 1990s he had many exhibitions in galleries and museums in Berlin, Leipzig, Frankfurt am Main and Bonn.

In 2001 Klaus Killisch was shown in an exhibition at the German House Gallery in New York, for the first time in the USA. The following year, the Goethe Institute in Washington, DC showed it in San Antonio in 2004 in the gallery of the SAPL Foundation as part of the exhibition "Art in Berlin". The international art project "Collective Task", started in 2006, unites over 25 artists from different countries in a joint task group. Killisch was a founding member of the group. In 2012 the "Collective Task" group presented their project at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In June 2014, organized Literaturwerkstatt the Poetry Festival Berlin and Killisch and other "collective task" artists appeared.

According to the Berlin art critic Christoph Tannert, Killisch's work is influenced by different cultural currents. Many of his works combine influences from literature, pop music, fashion photography and modern painting into a total work of art. This is done, for example, by combining acrylic paints, oils, collages and LPs on the large-format canvas. In large projects and exhibitions, Killisch showed how great his admiration for bands like Grateful Dead, but also Can, were. He was part of the exhibition "HALLELUHWAH! Homage à CAN" in Berlin and Stuttgart.

The New York poet Robert Fitterman wrote about Killisch and his work: "One of the many contributions that Klaus Killisch's artwork brings to the conversation about recombining, freestlye collage is the absolute joy he takes in recovering the iconic markers of our shared cultural history."
