Identity & Fortune - exhibit extended to March 12. Private viewings available, email 1100florencegallery[at]gmail.com

Asian American Identities Through Large-Scale Portraits

Identity & Fortune is a solo show of artist June Chen Ahleman’s most recent work. The exhibition includes four large (4’x8’) oil-on-wood portraits of Asian Americans and audio from her interviews with the subjects.

The installation draws on her interest in racial identity, the intersection of how we see ourselves and how others perceive us, and the role of fortune in shaping the relationship between the two.

Listen to interviews with the subjects Camelia, Melissa, Mark, June on June’s website here.

Read Jean Cunningham’s profile of June in the Evanston RoundTable here.

June is a senior at Chicago Waldorf Highschool and the installation is the basis of her Independent Senior Project.
