Emilie Halpern’s Latest Explores Works “Never Seen”

Emilie Halpern's "Mother (Happy), Mother (Sad)," 2012.

New mother and Art Center alumna Emilie Halpern–who graduated from the Graduate Art department in 2002–has an exhibition of new work on view at Pepin Moore in Chinatown.

The exhibition titled Jamais Vu, which translates as “never seen,” includes new photographs and sculptures that explored her feelings about her status as a soon-to-be mother.

“By the time I make the next show, so much will have happened; I’ll have such a different point of view on the purpose of art,” Halpern recently told Flaunt Magazine. “There’s this real fear as an artist that when you have a baby, do you continue to be an artist?”

Halpern’s Jamais Vu is on view until February 18.
