His work questions the vulnerability of intangible media through exploring the memories and fragmented histories of the analog form. This exhibition consists of reference books sealed and carved into sculptural wall pieces, vintage sets of encyclopedias combined and transformed into fragmented landscapes and a video installation which consists of over 10,000 still photographs he took as he carved away each layer of three versions of the Chronicle of the 20th Century. Brian Dettmer was born in Chicago in 1974 and currently lives and works in Atlanta. Dettmer's work has been exhibited in several museums, universities, art centers and fairs throughout the world. His work has gained international attention with bloggers and traditional press; it has been featured in several publications including Harper's, Modern Painters, Vogue and the New York Times. In 2009, his work is included in group shows at a number of galleries and museums including Brown Univer- sity, Hunter College, The Bellevue Arts Museum, Hunterdon Museum, The Kohler Arts Center and the Museum of Art and Design in New York among others.
