SHORT BIO:

Timm Ulrichs, born 1940 in Berlin, lives in Hannover, since 1960 Professor at Hochschule für Bildende Kunst in Münster.

It is difficult to define the works of Timm Ulrichs in just one artistic trend as they are of a miscellaneous nature. He has a simple philosophy: he finds that life is art and art is life. He creates "total art". His living room frequently functions as an art gallery and he also likes to exhibit himself as a work of art. Theatricality and irony are the only constants in his works.

He practises different disciplines: sculptures, photographs, collages, installations and performances. Sometimes he shows weird collections consisting of strange curiosities: furniture, all kinds of household objects, even nail clippings are part of it. His city or landscape sculptures and light objects are mostly very conceptual.
