Description

Till Now provides an overview of the work to date of the young German-French artist Milen Till, whose multi-layered works explore the legacy of conceptual art as well as the ready-made.

His playful reinterpretations of masterpieces by Marcel Duchamp, Piet Mondrian, Agnes Martin, or even the Bavarian comedian Karl Valentin reveal their essential characteristics, distort them, contextualise them, and thus give them a startling new meaning that challenges the 20th-century cult of the genius.

Using a wide variety of methods, means, and tools — from folding rulers to drums and darts — he takes components of art history and the art world's sacrosanct to develop entirely original works with a tongue-in-cheek lightness.
