Grier Edmundson’s practice is engaged in a dialogue about our current relationship to the image. He coaxes the audience to look beyond their presumptions to conceive of a new reading of subjects and their histories. Drawing from the literary model of the short story, each installation becomes a non-definitive narrative. Grier often selects understated icons that are at a slight remove from the images that represent key moments in pop history. This creates a gap between our immediate identification of the image, which is tinged with a knowing, self-aware nostalgia and its place in history.
