Description: The curriculum vitae or CV.docx is the basic medium of human selfdefinition and promotion. It outlines a person's career path and separates what they have done from what they have not done. An artist's CV can be read as an account of their exhibition activities and the institutions in which these have taken place. The exhibition entitled CV at Kunsthalle Zürich will take place twice: as an actual exhibition and as an automatic entry into Riedel's CV. The resulting performative discrepancy is precisely what Riedel is interested in. As if unfurling out of itself, this paradoxical form is a perfect manifestation of Riedel's artistic form of autonomy, which can be described as a reinsertion of the form into the form - CV into CV - each inducing an irritation in the other. Exhibition: Kunsthalle Zürich, Switzerland (20.05.-13.08.2017).
Notes: On the occasion of an exhibition held at Kunsthalle Zürich, May 19 - August 13, 2017.
