The Essen-based artists Phung-Tien Phan and Simon Mielke have collaborated for their annual gift. Their paintings are reminiscent in motif, color and square form of to-do lists on sticky notes. Written in painted handwriting, the lists provide space for speculative narratives about the supposed authors, their age and life situation.
Simon Mielke (*1990 in Essen) first studied at the Folkwang University of the Arts and since 2016 has been at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Dietmar Lutz and Trisha Donnelly. Most recently, his works were on view as part of Phung-Tien Phan's solo exhibition at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof.
Phung-Tien Phan (*1983 in Essen) studied at the Folkwang University of the Arts and at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. She has had solo exhibitions at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof (2020) and Bonner Kunstverein (2016). Both live in Essen, where they work together in the studio house of the former New Bretagne/Belle Air.
