Artist Talk: Philipp Gufler
TULCA Gallery, Hynes Building, St Augustine St
Saturday 4 November 2023
12.30pm
Join Philipp Gufler for an informal artist talk in the TULCA Gallery to hear about the development of the exhibition on display for TULCA 2023.
Philipp Gufler explores matters of queer imagery, questioning the Western historiography, in which heterosexuality and a binary gender system define the social norm. In his artistic practice he uses various media, including silkscreen-printing on fabrics and mirrors, artist books, performances, and video installations. Since 2013 he has been an active member of the Forum Queeres Archiv München.
A series of quilts from an ongoing series of silkscreen prints that references artists, scholars and places of queer life that have found little or no place in written accounts and the historical canon. This selection includes artist Lorenza Böttner, singer Lana Kaiser, judge Daniel Paul Schreber and physician Charlotte Woolf.
