“Where The Sun Don’t Shine”

Brooklyn’s Interstate Projects offers an alluring alternative to the Manhattan summer of trotting around Chelsea in a Tennessee Williams–style saturated daze. On view at this Buschwick is “6<<<>>>6,” a project consisting of three installments over the June and July in which six curators program three different shows. “Where the Sun Don’t Shine,” the current iteration and second wave of the project, is curated by the talented Brooklyn gallery collective 247365 and presents five young female artists––Elizabeth Jaeger, Julia Sherman, Heather Guertin, Brie Ruais, and Meredith James––confronting feminism and self-representation. All steer clear from the reductive trappings that have run alongside decades of identity politics, instead making crisp, individuated self-reflections—unburdened by transgressive posturing and fresh in their personal nature.
