BRETT KERN: FUTURE FOSSILS August 25 thru September 23, 2023
With his signature inflatable dinosaur toy forms taking center stage, artist Brett Kern’s new solo exhibition deftly and joyously explores childhood fascinations, nostalgia and pop culture.
Referencing his ceramic slip-casting process, Kern says, “Objects are covered in a material that captures their shape and texture, preserving them as rock-like representations. Movies, television, toys and games dominated the cultural landscape of my youth. I am a product of this specific time period, and I like to think of my artwork as the fossils that will help preserve it.
