The Talking Cure: 2018 Featured Exhibition in the Gallery at the Kranzberg Arts Center

Opening reception January 19th 6-9 PM

On display from January 19th 2018 through May 19th 2018, the Gallery at the Kranzberg Arts Center is honored to host Melissa Stern’s acclaimed multi-media project, The Talking Cure. Taking it’s name from Sigmund Freud’s original description of psychoanalysis, the exhibition features twelve humanoid sculptures and complimentary inner monologues created by twelve sets of writers and actors. Utilizing smart phones, the viewer is able to hear audio recordings of the sculpture’s thoughts come to life. Visitors are invited to write and perform their own narrations about these creatures, bringing to life the community’s creativity and convictions.
