Museum exhibitions Kendler opened her first solo museum exhibition, Jenny Kendler: The Long Goodbye, in January 2021 at the MSU Broad Museum. This exhibition includes works such as the Amber Archive and Forget Me Not that center on the notion of value and how we assign it, proposing that we move from capitalism's extractive modalities, towards valuing biodiversity itself. The curatorial statement included the following: "In creating the different “heirlooms and archives” on display, Kendler upends our expectations and invites us to reflect on our own values, and how they impact the health of the planet."
