Thursday - Sunday, through July 11, 2021 • 11 a.m.-6 p.m. • Free • The Lockwood Gallery, 747 Route 28, Kingston • Stronger Than Dirt is not only a record of Melissa Stern’s zig-zagging, gutsy career, but a time capsule of pop culture, advertising fads, and visual icons hailing back from the artist’s youth. Bittersweet parfaits of visual and verbal puns, found media, and physical technique, Stern’s work grapples with individual identity and the never-ending attempt to reconcile our place amongst the norm. In the same way that her gestures dance with figures lifted from backdated LIFE Magazines or vintage toys, Melissa’s artwork inserts itself into the greater cultural conversation, flirting and winking all the while.
