Artist and Curatorial Talk with
Werner Reiterer
Wednesday, April 16, 6pm
Atrium Gallery
Free and open to the public
In conjunction with Raw Loop, Werner Reiterer’s first solo exhibition in
the United States to open at the Speed Art Museum on April 22nd, 21c Museum will
host an informal discussion with the exhibition’s curator, Julien Robson, and the
artist. The evening’s discussion will offer an insight into the humor and irony
that Reiterer uses in his work to question our perceptions of art’s relationship
to everyday reality. Through drawings, objects, and installations, he engages the
viewer and forces us to re-examine the nature of everyday experiences.
About the Artist
Born in Graz, Austria, Reiterer studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna from
1984 to 1988. He has been featured in major museum and gallery exhibitions across
Europe and has become recognized as one of the leading artists of his generation.
In 2006, Reiterer was commissioned by the International Contemporary Art Foundation
to create the interactive chandelier in front of 21c Museum Hotel as his first permanent
public art sculpture in the United States. For more information about this permanent
