| Michael Reiter uses textiles for his works. Already some years ago the Frankfurt artist laid down his brush and canvas in exchange for cloth and a sewing machine. For the exhibition at MUSEUM RITTER he has devised an installation entitled »109 Yds«. The artist has criss-crossed the space with almost 100 metres of different coloured polyester bands, and in this way taken possession of it. The line is the decisive element in this piece, because it can create a spatial configuration and transpose a constructive drawing into a walk-through spatial sculpture. For the visitor the installation creates the impression of a dynamic picture in space, one in which he or she must step into and that changes with every step they take and every angle from which they view it. Likewise made of tautened bands is a new acquisition in the collection, Reiter’s »Container«, which consists of a geometrical configuration pinned directly to the wall. This filigree wall picture was sewn together from different coloured cloth ribbons and looks like a three-dimensional cube, on which the loose threads have been left hanging at the corners. These visible traces of the manufacturing process make a fascinating contrast to the strict behind the serialism of the geometrical principle |
