  • Beschreibung: "Michael Riedel: PosterPaintingPresentation is the first of Riedels books to examine in depth the practice for which he has become best known: the systematic creation of paintings from posters generated with text he finds online. Using websites that mention his work in some respectranging from reviews to exhibition pages Riedel copies and pastes the HTML code, highlighting certain words as he goes along, into one of his thirty-four poster templates, which he then arranges in different colors and orientations to make his paintings. The number of possible paintings, while high, is not infinite since there is a fixed set of posters. Perhaps, even more interesting than the limit, or the way Riedel uses self-referentiality in his source text, is the idea of making paintings out of words, or turning text into pigment. By using the code to make posters, Riedel creates a palette of words from which his paintings are generated. His process distances words from their traditional or literal meanings, and presents them visually, almost as symbols. The words meaning is not altogether lost, but the emphasis is visual as language begins to take on painterly significance."
