Rachel Kaye: The Colony
The opening of Rachel Kaye’s solo show, The Colony, is my San Francisco Bay Guardian events pick this week:
Whether galvanized in gouache or grounded in graphite, formerly SF-based visual artist Rachel Kaye’s work has a self-declared obsession with royalty. Like a British tabloid read aloud by someone with a sexier-than-thou accent, her explorations of fame and wealth will make you whisper, “Don’t stop.” For this solo show, the promising California College of the Arts graduate provides an exquisitely colored take on the Colony Club, New York City’s prestigious private women’s social club, founded in 1903. Her fantasy world is real. Plus, where else in the Mission District can you wear your faux-fur watchband and feel underdressed?
