Over the past decade, German artist Michael Riedel has incorporated a wide range of media into his practice, including large-scale works on canvas, fabric works, film and video, audio recordings, installations, and events. A central focus of his work is the publishing and production of artist’s books, catalogues, brochures, posters, and cards. In 2000, Riedel and Dennis Loesch launched a collaborative project in an abandoned building in Frankfurt. Using the building’s address— Oskar-von-Miller Strasse 16—as the name for their new space, they created an experimental laboratory where they restaged cultural events held at other locations throughout the city, effectively duplicating them in space and time. Occasionally, these re-presented events—which included book readings, film screenings, art exhibitions, and music concerts—were hosted on the same night as the actual event elsewhere in the city, but mostly, they were presented days or weeks after the original activity took place. According to Riedel, “We presented one concept over and over again. To create a distance to some original that had been done at another place.” With the call of “record, label, playback,” a group of young artists reiterated the language of a city’s cultural offerings, often without a full understanding of what they were reciting, but always with an acute aesthetic interest in the faults of transmission and transference.

“A vivid page-turner” (NPR) detailing the rise, fall, and redemption of Broadway—its stars, its biggest shows, its producers, and all the drama, intrigue, and power plays that happened behind the scenes.“A rich, lovely, debut history of New York theater in the 1970s and eighties” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), Razzle Dazzle is a narrative account of the people and the money and the power that turned New York’s gritty back alleys and sex-shops into the glitzy, dazzling Great White Way. In the mid-1970s Times Square was the seedy symbol of New York’s economic decline. Its once shining star, the renowned Shubert Organization, was losing theaters to make way for parking lots and losing money. Bernard Jacobs and Jerry Schoenfeld, two ambitious board members, saw the crumbling company was ripe for takeover and staged a coup and staved off corporate intrigue, personal betrayals and criminal investigations. Once Jacobs and Schoenfeld solidified their power, they turned a collapsed theater-owning holding company into one of the most successful entertainment empires in the world, spearheading the revitalization of Broadway and the renewal of Times Square. “For those interested in the business behind the greasepaint, at a riveting time in Broadway’s and New York’s history, this is the ticket” (USA TODAY). Michael Riedel tells the stories of the Shubert Organization and the shows that re-built a city in grand style—including Cats, A Chorus Line, and Mamma Mia!—revealing the backstage drama that often rivaled what transpired onstage, exposing bitter rivalries, unlikely alliances, and inside gossip. “The trouble with Razzle Dazzle is…you can’t put the damn thing down” (Huffington Post).

“Fun and gossipy.” —The Wall Street Journal * “A masterful history.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) * “Engaging.” —Newsweek A “brisk, insightful, and deliciously detailed take” (Kirkus Reviews) on a transformative decade on Broadway, featuring behind-the-scenes accounts of shows such as Rent, Angels in America, Chicago, The Lion King, and The Producers—shows that changed the history of the American theater. The 1990s was a decade of profound change on Broadway. At the dawn of the nineties, the British invasion of Broadway was in full swing, as musical spectacles like Les Miserables, Cats, and The Phantom of the Opera dominated the box office. But Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard soon spelled the end of this era and ushered in a new wave of American musicals, beginning with the ascendance of an unlikely show by a struggling writer who reimagined Puccini’s opera La Bohème as the smash Broadway show Rent. American musical comedy made its grand return, culminating in The Producers, while plays, always an endangered species on Broadway, staged a powerful comeback with Tony Kushner’s Angels in America. A different breed of producers rose up to challenge the grip theater owners had long held on Broadway, and corporations began to see how much money could be made from live theater. And just as Broadway had clawed its way back into the mainstream of American popular culture, the September 11 attacks struck fear into the heart of Americans who thought Times Square might be the next target. But Broadway was back in business just two days later, buoyed by talented theater people intent on bringing New Yorkers together and supporting the economics of an injured city. “Told with all the wit and style readers could wish for” (Booklist) Michael Riedel presents the drama behind every mega-hit or shocking flop. From the bitter feuds to the surprising collaborations, all the intrigue of a revolutionary era in the Theater District is packed into Singular Sensation. Broadway has triumphs and disasters, but the show always goes on.

Wie hängen Herzinfarkte mit Karies zusammen?Wie ein kaputtes Knie mit dem knirschenden Kiefer?Für so ziemlich jedes Organ unseres Körpers gibt es irgendeinen speziellen Arzt. Der Zahnarzt wird so nur aufgesucht, wenn es um Zähne oder Kiefer geht. Doch wer schon mal chronisch krank war – oder einfach nur vom "falschen Arzt" behandelt wurde – weiß, dass unser Körper mehr als die Summe seiner Teile ist. Die heutige (westliche) Medizin wird leider von Ärzten dominiert, die zu wenig über den eigenen "Tellerrand" hinaus schauen. Daher bleiben ganzkörperliche Zusammenhänge oft auf der Strecke. Da hilft auch der Fachjargon nicht, mit dem so mancher Mediziner über diesen Umstand hinweg täuschen will. Aber kann ein einzelner Arzt überhaupt ganzkörperlichen Zusammenhängen gerecht werden?Eine einfache Darstellung solcher komplexen Zusammenhänge war jedenfalls dringend nötig. Fand zumindest der Münchner Zahnarzt Michael Riedel, der sich seit Jahrzehnten kontinuierlich weiterbildet – unter anderem mit Schwerpunkt CMD (Craniomanibuläre Dysfunktion). Weil sich in unserem Mund eben doch der ganze Körper spiegelt und die Wissenschaft nicht stillsteht. Daher dieses Buch! Es ist der Versuch, der thematischen Komplexität zum Trotz, einer bloß eindimensionalen Betrachtung unserer Körperfunktionen die Stirn zu bieten. Manche Zusammenhänge sind einfach verblüffend! Wenn wir sie kennen, können wir Probleme unseres Körpers besser verstehen, und sie lösen! Der Zahnarzt Michael Riedel, der Buchautor Ulrich Pfeiffer (eigentlich ein Zahnarzt-Hasser). Zwei alte Schulfreunde. Was dieses Duo stark macht, ist der Balanceakt zwischen medizinischem Fachgesimpel und unbedarfter Patientensicht. Versüßt wird das Buch mit zahlreichen Illustrationen.
