This event has ended.

Friedrich Petzel Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of a solo exhibition of Keith Edmier. The exhibition will feature the full-scale sculptural reproduction of the kitchen from Edmier's childhood home.

The kitchen, with its Harvest Gold palette, walnut laminated cabinets, "Kitchen Psychadelia" wallpaper, and stone patterned tile are fabricated in detail rather than refurbished. The work was first installed as Bremen Towne, connected with the home's other communal spaces--those shared with the family-at Keith Edmier 1991-2007, Edmier's comprehensive survey exhibition at CCS Bard.

"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."
