Exhibition Description
Dead Letter is a solo exhibition by Jennifer Packer that emerges from sustained reflection on loss, memory, and the limits of representation. The exhibition is shaped by the passing of April Freely four years prior and by Packer’s ongoing effort to rebuild a practice profoundly indebted to Freely’s love, life, and work. Rather than attempting to render grief literally, Packer positions the exhibition as an acknowledgment of what art cannot fully contain. Dead Letter is on view at Sikkema Malloy Jenkins, 530 West 22nd Street, New York, NY, from October 18 through December 13, 2025.
