“PowerPoint” is the latest iteration of Frankfurt-based Michael Riedel’s ongoing process of “recycling” previous exhibition materials into his next project. The Poster Paintings (based on text from websites about Riedel’s work) from the artist’s last show at Zwirner, in 2011, here find their data repurposed into “freeze frames” made by combining two slides in Photoshop and pausing the animation mid-merge. As in previous installations “PowerPoint” features the silkscreen-on-linen works hung on wallpaper printed with patterns drawn from the Poster Paintings.
