One and Three Chairs
15 September – 14 October 2017
Curated by Sabine Schaschl and Michael Riedel
Travelling sculpture/performance
Michael Riedel in collaboration with Sabine Schaschl, Vitus H. Weh, Luisa Ziaja and N.N.
The travelling sculpture One and Three Chairs by Michael Riedel is based on the common misunderstanding that the famous major work of the same name by the concept artist Joseph Kosuth comprises four chairs. While Kosuth created his work by assembling a chair, a photographic depiction of a chair and a dictionary definition of the word ‘chair’, Riedel borrows these individual elements yet adds to them four chairs that are occupied during the performance by four people who discuss the work, the context and the concept.
