Tim Maul

FR

Né en 1951 à Stamford, Connecticut (US). Vit et travaille à New York.

Après des études à la « New-York School of Visual Arts » entre 1969 et 1973, il travaille la performance, la photographie et la vidéo. En 1976, il participe à la deuxième exposition du MOMA P.S.1 (New-York) intitulée « A Month of Sunday ». Entre 1975 et 1981, il collabore avec Davidson Gigliotti (un des pionniers de l?art vidéo) et avec Jean Dupuy à la réalisation d?une série de vidéo-performances. À partir des années 80, la photographie devient son médium de prédilection et il s?en sert, comme une écriture pour construire des narrations.

« Je suis intéressé par les choses que notre mémoire supprime ou éloigne. Pas les faits marquants mais ce qu?il y a au milieu ». Les images de Tim Maul suggèrent avec poésie et simplicité l?intersection entre perception et imagination. Son objectif semble capturer furtivement le matériel et l?immatériel de la réalité qui l?entoure.

Tim Maul est également critique et collabore régulièrement avec les revues Art in America, CIRCA Dublin/Belfast, et Afterart. Il enseigne au département photographie et vidéo à la « New-York School of Visual Arts », New York.

After attending the New York School of Visual Arts between 1969 and 1973, he worked on performance, photography and video. In 1976, he took part in the second exhibition of the MOMA P.S.1 (New York) titled ?A Month of Sunday.? Between 1975 and 1981, he worked with Davidson Gigliotti (one of the pioneers of video art) and with Jean Dupuy to create a series of video-performances.
This period was also characterized by his photographic research conducted on actions, gestures and daily rituals. His often sequential series already revealed his taste for narration. They remained however in his archives as a form of conceptual experimentation that the artist found hard to reveal. In October 2017, he agreed to exhibit, for the first time, his photographic works created between 1974 and 1979 for his solo exhibition at the Florence Loewy gallery, curated by Alexandre Quoi.

Starting in the 1980s, photography definitively became his favorite medium and he used it as writing to build his narrations.
He would say: ?I am interested in things that our memory suppresses or distances. Not the highlights but what there is in the middle.? Tim Maul?s images poetically and simply suggest the intersection of perception and imagination. His lens seems to furtively capture the material and immaterial of the reality that surrounds him.

Tim Maul is also a critic and regularly collaborates with the publications Art in America and Circa Art Magazine (Dublin/Belfast). He teaches at the Photography and Video Department of the New York School of Visual Arts.
