Opening
Friday, July 9, 2010, 7 pm
Der Kunstverein, since 1817.
Klosterwall 23
20095 Hamburg
The exhibition in Hamburg follows Riedel’s solo exhibitions “Stutter” (Tate Modern, London 2009), “Vier Vorschläge zur Veränderung von Modern” (Four Proposals for Changing Modern, Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main, 2008) and the cinematic installation “Filmed Film” (David Zwirner Gallery, New York, 2008). Recalling his installation at the Biennale in Lyon in 2007, where he “doubled” the entrance to Rirkrit Tiravanija’s video programme, Riedel has modified the entrance to the Kunstverein exhibition with a further entrance.
This “space within a space” presents a series of ten new works by Riedel. As material he used the webpages www.moma.org/collection/artist.php?artist_id=28773, which features one of his works in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art New York, and www.kunstaspekte.de/index.php?action=termine, which lists the highlights of the next 30 days.
Other works by Michael Riedel will be shown during the exhibition at Kunstverein Hamburg:

“Filmed Film Trailer”
Riedel’s Filmed Film Trailer will be shown before regular film screenings for the duration of the exhibition. The trailer was produced for the “Filmed Film Archive” (1999-2002), in which the some 90 films were cut automatically to a length of seven minutes by the editing programme Final Cut.
