FRONT ROOM GALLERY
“Useful Things(For Getting Lost),” Melissa Pokorny’s sculptural work examines connections between “things” as potent containers of memory, capably representing loss and estrangement, and the deeply metaphorical, haunted landscape of the everyday.

Celebrating this year’s Brooklyn Armory night, Front Room will be presenting an evening of outdoor video projections featuring works by Chris Jordan and Jeremy Slater.
