Jessica Lichtenstein: Rewilding
May 30, 2026 – Apr 18, 2027
About
In her first solo museum exhibition, New York- and Wyoming-based artist Jessica Lichtenstein transforms MAD's third-floor gallery into an overgrown terrain built from thousands of digitally rendered female nudes forming forests, ruins, and flowering canopies. Working across installation, painting, sculpture, and video with materials including gold and aluminum leaf and UV printing, she embeds women's social-media text into concrete and plaster sculpture. The title borrows the conservation-ecology concept of rewilding to reframe the female form outside historical eroticization.
