Zimmerman Catalog
Inner City is an installation
of more than 180 figurative and architectural ceramic elements by Arnie
Zimmerman. The exhibition encapsulates the human condition: men are
engaged in activities ranging from the grandest of feats to the repetitive
aspects of the everyday, as they build buildings and carry out mundane
chores. Zimmerman’s work is rooted in the myriad details of ordinary
experience and at the same time it seems fantastical. His figures reflect
ceramic traditions as much as they comment on contemporary urban life.
Inner City is a collaboration with the architect Tiago Montepegado,
who designs the site-specific architectural framework for the ceramic
sculpture.
