Travis Boyer: Personal Effects

Hardcover, 100 pages, 28.5 x 23.5 cm, English

This catalogue accompanies Travis Boyer’s exhibition Personal Effects (14 June – 25 July 2025) at Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zürich—his first solo show in Switzerland. Executed in dyes on silk velvet, Boyer’s paintings explore how surfaces accrue meaning through ornament, cultural memory, and queer embodiment.

Contributions by Elyssa Goodman, Thomas Love, and Peter Kilchmann frame the artist’s unique visual language and conceptual depth. The catalogue features installation views and was launched alongside the exhibition, with a presentation including a conversation between Travis Boyer and Thomas Love.
