Whilst working in a museum bookshop, artist and poet Kyrill Constantinides Tank draws on postcard-sized pieces of paper what he sees or comes to his mind. ?The New Colleague," ?How My Boss Sees Me, When I Am Angry," or ?Daniel Richter Loses Touch With the Youth" show scenes of a work routine in the museum or ideas that arise in such a setting. They relate to a life between artistic creation and wage labour. But besides his subjective view, Constantinides Tank also brings the very common to paper: Garfield, Charizard and the Simpsons belong to everybody and have been drawn like this countless times. When there is a patch on the paper or the drawing itself becomes a technical experiment - as in ?Fidget-Spinner Drawing?: apparently the attempt to make a drawing with a fidget spinner - it becomes obvious that the author trained as a painter and constantly deals with the borders and possibilities of painting. By drawing them, Kyrill Constantinides Tank, in a Bavarian anti-bourgeois tradition, overcomes the daemons and banalities of labour, mass media and art history.
