A short video of me talking about my work in my studio. I am a Los-Angeles based visual artist working in installation, performance, video, painting, and sculpture. My work examines the relationship of art and freedom through the lens of art education. The paintings and objects I create represent artifacts rescued from the ruins of an imaginary art school: the State Art Academy, Zürich (SKZ). My paintings represent exercises completed by the students as part of their coursework and later abandoned. I build sculptural wooden objects that represent furniture taken from the school which doubles as my day-to-day studio furniture. These are used in installation environments where I perform lessons taken from the school’s curriculum. 30 Jun 2025 This was my first studio in Los Angeles, in what I believe had once been a tofu factory in Lincoln Heights. When I moved here in 2012 I knew what I wanted my life’s work to be: art about an imaginary Swiss art school whose curriculum was more rigorous and modernist than actual modernism had been. I wanted my studio to be an installation in the form of a classroom from this abandoned and forgotten school: the State Art Academy, Zürich (SKZ). The school’s curriculum is based on the geometry of international standard paper sizes. In most of the world, standard office paper is A4 format (in the United States we use 8.5” x 11”). The painting shown here is 4A0 format, which is four square meters in area, and would be a standard billboard size in most of the world. There are four floor panel sculptures each of which is also 4A0 format. The desktop is half that size: 2A0. The studio installation was exhibited in my first solo exhibition, with Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects in 2015, and again at a solo project at Art Los Angeles Contemporary in 2016. The desk and chair traveled to Philadelphia for a solo installation at the Philadelphia Art Alliance in 2023. They have since returned to my studio, now downtown in the Bendix Building, and are part of my daily work setup, continuing to age along with me. 01 Jan 1970 Today is the final day to see my exhibition “SKZ Centimeter Studies Classroom,” an installation comprising paintings, objects, and furniture rescued from the ruins of an abandoned art school. Everything I do as an artist grows out of the State Art Academy, Zürich (SKZ), an imaginary art school of my own invention whose curriculum is based around the idea that the composition of a painting begins with the geometry of the canvas. The installation is on view until 5pm today, Saturday, November 7, @timothyhawkinsongallery , 7424 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles Installation shots by @ofphotostudio 07 Nov 2026 Closing Saturday! “SKZ Centimeter Studies Classroom,” paintings, objects, and furniture rescued from the ruins of an imaginary art school.

Thank you to David Eugster and to @swissinfo.ch_en for such thoughtful writing. Link in bio 🔗 20 Oct 2026 My solo exhibition, “SKZ Centimeter Studies Classroom,” is an installation representing furniture, objects, and student paintings, rescued from the ruins of an imaginary art school. At the State Art Academy, Zürich (SKZ), students were given canvases in standard metric paper sizes. They worked together to explore the aesthetics of the centimeter, a measurement defined by the speed of light, and its relationship to the rectangle of the canvas. The furniture and objects in the school reflected the same proportions. The exhibition is on view @timothyhawkinsongallery until November 7.
