In his sixth exhibition at David Zwirner Gallery, Michael Riedel continues a project that he has pursued for the past 15 years: a system in which he recycles existing images to exploit the seemingly endless visual possibilities. For this exhibition, Riedel selected text from a website selling art supplies, transposing the meaning of the text to create large posters of layered text throughout the gallery. In addition, images of skeletons covered in art supply stickers are mounted on aluminum, interrupting the posters. Taken as a whole, Riedel’s engulfing installation demonstrates the myriad possibilities of the world he encounters each day, experienced both digitally and physically.
