Susannah Ray: Down for the Day
June 28, 2023 – August 26, 2023

Opening Reception: June 28, 2023 6PM – 8PM

“Baxter St is proud to present Down for the Day a solo exhibition of photographs by Susannah Ray, one of Baxter St’s 2023 Mid-Career Initiative Artists. The photographs in Down For the Day (2016-2019) are made along a 15 block stretch of Rockaway Beach, Queens. Less than a mile long, this section of beach is among the most utilized in New York City, hosting shoulder to shoulder crowds on summer weekends. The project title, Down For the Day, is the local description of day trippers, frequently called DFDs. This term, often meant to distance visitors from locals, here celebrates the tangled bodies and cramped encampments as attempts at finding not only respite from the city heat, but momentary paradise, imperfect but one’s own. ”
