Plan B” by Susan Chen
Where: Rachel Uffner
When: March 8 - April 20

Why It’s Worth a Look: Thirty-nine figures appear in Chen’s second solo exhibition with Rachel Uffner. Each portrait was painted live during a 3-hour afternoon session with the subject. Chen met a portion of the sitters at Planned Parenthood events, and recruited the rest from online forums. In her work, women often reduced to an archetype are fleshed out, given a story that travels beyond the day they showed up to a clinic. 

Know Before You Go: The exhibition also marks a new venture for the artist: ceramics. A selection of pieces are on view alongside her paintings.
