Keith Edmier: 1991-2007Keith Edmier 1991-2007 is the most comprehensive exhibition to date of work by American artist Keith Edmier.
Featuring more than 40 works selected from key moments in Edmier's oeuvre, and a large-scale new commission - Bremen Towne, a recreation of the artist's childhood home in Tinley Park outside of Chicago.
"Bremen Towne is a full-scale sculptural reproduction of the interior spaces from the ranch house where I grew up in the southwest Chicago suburb, Tinley Park.
It is made to resemble what it would have looked like when I first moved there with my parents in 1971.
Essentially, it is a brand new home," explains Edmier.
The installation "functions as a curated space.
An exhibition of those things, which influenced my early aesthetic development, in the surroundings that helped shape who I am."
Bremen Towne is the largest physical manifestation of the artist's fascination with reclaiming, or at least rethinking, the past through sculpture and installation.
This extraordinary installation represents the culmination of Edmier's psychological archeology.
