GALLERY EXHIBITIONS
Kate’s most recent curatorial gallery exhibitions have been for the bG Gallery in Santa Monica, CA. There she curated five exhibitions beginning with FUN, which were followed by MORE FUN and finally TOO MUCH FUN, because during all things Covid she felt in dire need of as much fun as possible, and she wasn’t alone in these feelings. During the last several years Kate has also curated a group exhibition entitled FABULOUS FIBER and a solo exhibition for artist Melissa Meier entitled, SKINS LACED, MASKS, which incorporated many of the works for a then upcoming solo museum exhibition for the artist.
In addition to the numerous exhibitions seen at the Frostig Collection Gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, CA, Kate has curated solo shows for artists Michael Kalish, Brad Howe, David Buckingham, Moye Thompson, Bob Landstrom and Melissa Meier as well as many group exhibitions throughout Los Angeles.
Pictured below are MODDA TRANSPORTATION, a show she curated for Michael Kalish, whose sculptural works are made from tailgates of old trucks and was exhibited at MODDA (the Museum of Design Art and Architecture) in Culver City, CA and NOBODY LIKES A SMARTASS by David Buckingham, exhibited at the Laemmle Film Center in Santa Monica, CA. Buckingham’s works are made from cut and welded discarded metal the artist finds scouring the alleys and deserts of Southern California. Also shown is WITHIN, a solo show for ceramist Moye Thompson, who mixes text with clay to create beautiful works that engage both the eye and the mind. Last but not least are a sampling of the solo shows Stern curated at the Frostig Collection Gallery.
