Michael Riedel: Laws of Form

Michael Riedel
Laws of Form

Darling, you don't go into an opening with a pen and paper, taken notes about the artworks with the intention of doing a critic or review. It is a not do! You do it a couple of days later. Definitive not on the opening day because, apart from all the booze and social buzz, how can you see whatever in a packed room. 
Second, it does look like more that I'm Scream London, with all the trendy, or not so much, people from the music world on an Grammy's nights, celebration the Rolling Stones half-century success, rather than on an opening of an exhibition. I'm so glad!
Nice building, nice clean wall, as someone said recently - a White-Chelsea -, and nice kiss in the British' ass.

«Michael Riedel was born in 1972 and currently lives and works in Frankfurt, where he received a Meisterschüler at the Städelschule in 2000. Since joining David Zwirner in 2004, the artist has had four solo exhibitions at the gallery in New York: Neo (2005), Filmed Film (2008), The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog (2011), and PowerPoint (2013).

In 2013, Riedel was invited by the Palais de Tokyo in Paris to create a series of three site-specific installations in the museum’s event space. Currently on view is the first presentation, Jacques comité [Giacometti], for which the artist covered the walls and floor with 4073 “o’s” extracted from the transcript of a recording made during the deinstallation of a Giacometti exhibition at the Hamburger Kunsthalle. The artist’s second installation, titled Dual air [Dürer], opens April 24, 2014, and repurposes materials from a recent Albrecht Dürer show at the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.» [...MORE...]
