Stefan Reiterer

D. D. D. D. is also pleased to present, in collaboration with Interrobang 11232, Two Things Can Be True, a solo exhibition by Vienna-based artist Stefan Reiterer.

For Two Things Can Be True, Stefan Reiterer stretches a single exhibition across two galleries—and two boroughs—of New York City. Reiterer’s practice examines the malleability of the supposedly objective images through which we apprehend the physical world: maps, satellite imagery, aerial photography and other technologies of orientation. Through an iterative process of renderings, Reiterer collects and composes satellite and aerial imagery of maps and landscapes which he paints, distorts and re-renders in 3D software, and then paints again on volumized surfaces, returning them once more to physical space as painting, sculpture and installation. Oscillating between analogue and digital, abstraction and representation, his works ask a deceptively simple question: how fixed is the world we think we know?

Two Things Can Be True has a companion text written by Melanie Scheiner titled Sans Repères. You can find the text below.
