Read Art in America on Amy Sillman's work at The Drawing Center. "[...] in "After Metamorphoses", drawing functions not only as a material process but a bodily one: the motion of the artist's finger across a touchscreen is palpable. Sillman's embrace of color and hand-drawn, exploratory marks in these videos-as well as her engagement with text as an underlying structure-place her in dialogue with artist and poet Jackson Mac Low, whose concrete poetry drawings are exhibited in the galleries just above Sillman's show at the Drawing Center. Sillman's exhibition is enriched by this contextualization. Indeed, Clarinda Mac Low, the artist's daughter, recalled in a recent talk that Sillman's work hung alongside her father's in her childhood home." – go to
