The show Symbols/Souvenirs is a site-specific shop built and created and by Chicago artist Frank Van Duerm. Enlarged representations of objects, originally produced for the express purpose of remembering people and places of geographic, cultural, and ideological significance, are present in surplus. Items on sale draw from cultural icons and symbols, including guided mediation DVD’s and Tanya Harding VHS sex tapes. These imprints of mass produced objects continue to inform Van Duerm’s practice, as the installation explores how memorabilia builds, abstracts and collides with cultural histories.
