I needed shower gel, and just before going to the supermarket, I’d been talking to TIMUR about both of our artistic practices. The product claims to manipulate the natural selection process in a man’s favor – and that’s quite something! And it does that with the most artificial and chemically fluorescent yellow gel you can imagine – it literally radiates! I wouldn’t have paid attention to it though, if I hadn’t been thinking about TIMUR’s work. – ANNE DE VRIES in conversation with KAREN ARCHEY for TruEYE surView

TIMUR SI-QIN’s works reveal the attractors of social and economic systems by representing the ordinary, framed in a way which often refers to the world of advertising and consumerism, to induce a shift in recognizable conventional codes of our visual culture. His work has an anarchist tone, adverse to conventions and good taste.

TIMUR SI-QIN (born 1984 in Berlin) is an artist of German and Mongolian-Chinese decent who grew up in Berlin, Beijing and the American Southwest, and currently lives and works in Berlin. Recent exhibitions include based in Berlin, Berlin (2011); Not to be confused with…, Von Cirne, Cologne (2011); Post Internet Survival Guide, Future Gallery/Gentili Apri, Berlin (2011); 爷爷 Aspects of the universe search and sorting computer, Société, Berlin (2010) and État de choses, Darsa Comfort, Zurich (2010).

And good news: his work Mainstream is currently on view at Société in Berlin until December 10, 2011

update: his exhibition at Fluxia in Milano entitled Legend is actually on view and is running through January 21, 2012
