About Hauser & Wirth Invite(s)
Hauser & Wirth Invite(s) reflects Hauser & Wirth’s longstanding commitment to building a sense of connection in the places where it works, collaborating with artists early in their careers, galleries of different scale and writers addressing new audiences, all in support of a sustainable art ecosystem. By hosting fellow artists, galleries and writers in our spaces, we offer wider visibility of their work and ideas to engage with the vibrant creative community.

About Philipp Timischl
Philipp Timischl (b. 1989) grew up in the rural countryside of Austria and now lives and works in Paris, France. His practice spans video, sculpture, painting, and photography, often combined with text and culminating in site-specific installations. His work frequently engages with power dynamics—particularly regarding social class, queerness, heritage, and the art world. After studying at the Städelschule in Frankfurt and graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, he has presented solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art Belgrade (2025), Le Confort Moderne, Poitiers (2024), High Art, Paris (2024), MGK Siegen (2023), Layr, Vienna (2023), Heidelberger Kunstverein (2022), Secession, Vienna (2018), and Halle für Kunst Lüneburg (2016).

His work has been shown at the NGV Triennial, Melbourne (2023), the Lyon Biennale (2022), and in group exhibitions at Marta Herford / Kunsthalle Bielefeld (2024), Belvedere 21 (2021, 2019), Kunsthalle Bern (2019), Kunstwerke Berlin (2016), Luma Foundation Zürich, Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Turin, and Serpentine Gallery London, among others.
