Gerald Peters Contemporary is pleased to present its first exhibition of the 2025 summer season, Material Girl: Pop Culture and the Female Gaze. Bringing together six female artists working across media, the exhibition will highlight the connections between the artists’ personal histories and social, political, and cultural realities of today.

Anchored in Pop Art, the exhibition explores how these artists use the genre’s vocabulary of familiar imagery, bold colors, and ready-made objects to examine socio-political concerns.  Probing gender, sexuality, materialism, and commodification, these works offer profound personal introspection and keen societal awareness.

Jennifer Juniper Stratford is a director and video artist from Hollywood, California. Inspired by a love of video art, outsider cinema, and experimental animation, her work feels like something you might catch on late night cable or on an obscure video cassette.

Her work has been exhibited, broadcast, and screened internationally and includes MoCA, Palais De Tokyo Paris, Whitney Museum, The Hammer Museum, LACMA,  The Getty, Cinemarfa, Museum of the Moving Image New York, New Beverly Cinema, BAM Cinématek, and on public access channels across the United States.  In 2018 she was awarded a grant from the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts.
