Kreher Williams Data Driven

Current Exhibit

Kreher Williams Research & Development is Data Driven

This is a collaborative exhibition by Jamie Kreher and Brett Williams. Kreher Williams R&D works in the interstitial zone between the academic and the vernacular, between rigorously constructed conceptual frameworks and the everyday aesthetics of personal photographs, found objects, and rudimentary technologies. Their data consists of field recordings - photographic, video, and audio - collected during site visits that range from wilderness landscapes to doctor’s waiting rooms. These findings are housed in an “expanded archive” that blends archival furniture and institutional props with altered readymades. The resulting installations mimic and subvert the visual language of the archive, evoking scientific research environments while remaining resolutely subjective.

The exhibition runs from Oct. 3rd to Oct. 30 with an opening reception on Friday, Oct. 3 from 6-8 p.m. The opening is free and open to the public.

The artists will give a talk on Oct. 8th at 1:15 p.m. in the gallery. Limited seating will be available.

The gallery is located in the library building in L125. It is open from noon to 4 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays or by appointment.

Please contact gallery director, Jamie Kreher, for more information at jkreher@stlcc.edu.
