DESCRIPTION:  Through his installations, Thomas Zipp develops fantasy scenarios verging on the eccentric and theatrical. Garnering inspiration from art history, politics, philosophy, and popular culture, Zipp uses unlikely combinations of sources and genres to trigger a sense of familiarity within the absurd. In a composition of two canvases and a drawing, E-Licht is sparsely hung with museum authority. Balancing a large abstraction above a painting of a zeppelin, Zipp uses the ambient qualities of formalism to create fictional space, the utopian aspirations of modernism doubling as a set of subterranean misadventure.
