A Brief History of America and Its Peoples
'A Brief History of America and Its Peoples' offers a rare opportunity to see highlights of Kirchner's artwork created over the past 13 years. The artist continues to question him-self, our times and living in America. Through minimalism and subsumed form, he persists on deconstructing culture to create a unique vision of our lifetime. Over the years, Kirchner has explored what he likes to refer to as "inert" materials such as Styrofoam and balsa wood that have almost an anti-matter aspect intrinsic to them. Playing with our sense of what we know and what we're actually perceiving, Kirchner wavers between the transparent and the inaccessible, asking more questions than providing answers.
