Zipp has been part of a major solo presentation at the 55th Venice Biennale, Comparative Investigation about the Disposition of the Width of a Circle, Palazzo Rossini (2013).

He works mainly with painting, sculpture and installation. His installations appropriate the language of museum and scientific display to convey a madman-made, foreboding view of western civilisation’s achievements - there are many historical references on his work.

Painting --> With a palette that favors burnt umber, gray and army green, his dark thinly painted canvases and sculptures often come in a careworn palette of ash white, granite grey and lots of black. The paintings' stretchers sometimes extend into legs that might allow them to be carried like banners; some are paired with separately framed photo-based images of bearded 19th-century father figures or skeletons that seem to comment on the paintings. In his 2008 show "White Dada" at London's Alison Jacques Gallery, Dada-style montages and defaced pictures included a textbook description of electroconvulsive therapy and images of drugs of the medical, non-recreational kind.
