Exhibition Review - Kevin Kremler

Kevin Kremler is an artist from UNR  who recently had his exhibition in the Sheppard Fine Arts Gallery in early April. His exhibition was titled Postcards from the Grey Area and featured 4 distinct pieces of work. The first was a sort of photo booth that took a picture of the observer as if they were Norman Rockwell painting a self portrait. The camera then printed out a postcard for the viewer to keep, the digital copies were for Kremler to keep. Also in the exhibition was a crayon drawing, an installation of small TVs with images of an x-rayed skull, and a see-saw like structure involving sand. Kremler likes to make work that challenges people’s common perception of art. He likes to show people that there are all different kinds of art that can be appreciated in different ways. I really enjoyed the concept of the giant crayon piece as a postcard. Someone expressed concern that the piece could get destroyed through the mail, but that is really all a part of the project, since it is an oversized post card.
