@ Chicago Artists Coalition

Opening Friday, June 3rd, from 6 PM - 9 PM
On view through Thursday, June 16th
The Chicago Artists Coalition is pleased to present, For the Glass, a solo exhibition with work by BOLT Resident, Suzette Bross.
Suzette Bross’ portraits in her solo exhibition, For the Glass, transform the flatbed scanner into a contemporary version of the photographic plate. Meditating on the tradition of portraiture, Bross mimics the sharp details and imperfections in the surfaces of 19th-century studio portraits. Bross uses digital equipment to return to this slow pace of production by scanning her subjects as they sit for extended exposures. Bross’ portraits capture every movement to create a unique digital image that cannot be replicated. Bross’ relationship with her subjects becomes a performative act of photographing. With the inclusion of the artist’s likeness in the series, her focus is on the intimacy of the work’s process and her investigations on how one interacts with her re-invented plate. This suite of monumental prints invites the viewer to become immersed in the surface of the image as they magnify her relationship to the process as the true subject.
