Patrick Timm
Patrick Timm (born October 12, 1979 in Pinneberg , Germany ) is a German visual artist. He lives and works on a nomadic journey.
Life
Patrick Timm began his apprenticeship as a carpenter. In the course of his apprenticeship, the mythology of the journeyman also aroused his own wanderlust. Out of curiosity, Timm traveled to India in 2000 ; there his aesthetic will unfolded. This led him to Berlin in 2001 to study free art / sculpture at the Berlin-Weißensee School of Art .
During his studies, he was again gripped by wanderlust. In 2005 he studied as a guest in the Public Space Design department at the State Academy for Art and Design in St. Petersburg .
Between 2005 and 2006, Timm curated and initiated several exhibition projects in which Russian and German artists worked together, e. B. “Babylonian Dream” in the Anna Achmatova Museum St. Petersburg.
In 2007 Timm got his diploma with the campaign series “lazy WORK” with Pauline Boudry (film), Rainer W. Ernst (architecture) and Berndt Wilde (sculptor). The lazy WORK is an immaterial thought space, which formally consists of a white pillow with the imprint “WORK”.
From 2007 to the present day Timm has been involved with happenings in public spaces. It emerged u. a. the campaign series “Orange Elephants” (Helsinki), “Golden Stones” (Vilnius), “Thermalsee Utopie” (Bad Gastein) and “Überseehafen Transdanubien” (Vienna).
In 2009 he increasingly dealt with the topic of mass phenomena, which can initially be found graphically in endless repetitions of individual patterns such as circles, triangles, rectangles and found company stamps. He describes these work processes as atomization and intensifies this issue of mass phenomena through performances such as “A Question of Freedom of Movement” (Torstrasse 111, Berlin), “Sculpture learns to walk” (M Moma, Moscow) and “Volume Change” (Masterskaja Gallery, St. Petersburg) ).
2011–2012 Timm was artistic director of the temporary Masterskaya gallery in St. Petersburg.
Being world
2007 to today: Being the world is a process based on the wanderings of craftsmen. Timm wants to use his travel years artistically. The core of WELT-SEIN is research beyond cultural boundaries. It embodies the universal perception of understanding the earth as a whole. Over the years, four series were formed with a focus on cultural-space studies:
- Thermal images
- Cultural textures
- City routes
- All people in the world drawing.
Thermal images
These images are created by interviewing passers-by in public space. The color of the city is asked, and passers-by can choose from 12 colored pencils and put hatching on an index card themselves. The maps are digitized and overlaid so that an emotional color image of the respective city is created. (see Fig. "Project thermal images")
Cultural textures
On his wanderings, Timm prefers to travel to countries with their own writing systems, such as Georgian, Japanese etc. On site, he gets mechanical typewriters and repeats every letter on a sheet of paper so that a texture of the character is created. He does this with the entire respective alphabet. To date, around 600 sheets have been created that make cultural drawing spaces visually tangible.
City routes
This is a series of drawings created using a drawing machine designed and built by Timm himself. The starting material is city maps on which every street is followed by moving a pointer. The machine creates a distorted pencil drawing of the public space in each city.
All people in the world drawing
Drawing is an organic process. Timm asks people to make their names available for the drawing and then writes them one after the other in standard font. So all names together form a world texture. The individual sheets (panels) have a format of 70 × 100 cm and contain around 3500 names. In order to win everyone in the world for this process, 2.2 million such tables would theoretically be necessary.
Current
For many years, Timm considered his artistic work on the one hand and the craft expertise on the other hand separately. The two worlds came together on a larger scale for the first time in the “Flechten” exhibition in Salzburg in 2015 . Timm developed the exhibition architecture and a lighting system, and designed and built a stone pine furniture collection. His framed artistic works were given presentation furniture and thus became objects. Space and objects entered into a symbiosis and became a walk-in installation.
At the moment, Timm is mainly moving between Hamburg, Berlin, Vienna and Iden, where he has set up his base camp and where his work archive and country studio are located.
