This Monday Lecture will present the artistic practice of Gerd Tinglum.

Gerd Tinglum is a multidisciplinary artist with colour as the common denominator.

With a background in studies in Germany and Japan, her work is influenced by conceptualism and Eastern Philosophy.

She has developed a colour system in line with the words of Marcel Duchamp: I force myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.

The colour system is based on coincidence and is used consequently throughout her work.
