Gallery Talk | Artist Talk: Michael Riedel


For more than fifteen years, Riedel has advanced a self-sustaining artistic system whereby new work is generated from existing material in seemingly endless loops and permutations. While his practice — which incorporates painting, text, audio, video, photography, publishing, architecture, and performance — may at first glance seem to share a conceptual affinity with Pop and appropriation art, it represents a departure from the issues of mechanical reproduction and simulacra that preoccupied these earlier generations.

Conference | Closed Worlds: Encounters That Never Happened


Presenters and discussants will engage in debate and discussion and the history and future of closed systems in architecture and design. Participants include such luminaries as Reyner Banham, Buckminster Fuller, Jacques Cousteau, Victor Olgyay, Ray and Charles Eames, Walt Disney, Peter van Dresser, Hans Hollein, and John McHale. What do outer space capsules, submarines, and office buildings have in common? Each was conceived as a closed system: a self-sustaining physical environment demarcated from its surroundings by a boundary that does not allow for the transfer of matter or energy. The history of twentieth century architecture, design, and engineering has been strongly linked to the conceptualization and production of closed systems. As partial reconstructions of the world in time and in space, closed systems identify and secure the cycling of materials necessary for the sustenance of life. Contemporary discussions about global warming, recycling, and sustainability have emerged as direct conceptual constructs related to the study and analysis of closed systems.
