Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Documentation: Skol Centre Des Artes Actuel (Montreal), Cambridge Galleries (Cambridge, ON), and McLean Project for the Arts (McLean, VA) 

"Jeremy Drummond investigates our perceptions of the suburbs. Presented under the title Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, his recent bodies of work take the form of unconventional anthropological studies, in which the artist excavates, sorts, documents, and sometimes manipulates signs of suburbia, as a way to reveal their history and hidden meanings. The artist sets out to bare the complexity and absurdity of contemporary suburban environments. Where Street Signs conflates urban planning with home decor, Grave Architecture: Delaware pointedly addresses the recent mortgage meltdown across the border. In the process, the artist invites us to be cognoscente of the suburbs as a continual negotiation between signs, built forms and the people who inhabit this new frontier. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere proposes diversity and difference as a remedy to the pitfalls of monoculture." -- Ivan Jurakic, Curator, Cambridge Galleries  

The individual projects that have been included in the various incarnations of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere are: Drive By, Street Signs, Intersections, Grave Architecture: Delaware, 65-Point Plan for Sustainable Living, and This Could Be Anywhere, This Could Be Everywhere. *To view these projects, access them from the submenu for this page.
