Opening Friday, January 20 Amy Sillman will present an animated video entitled "After Metamorphoses", a work based on Ovid’s epic narrative poem that she began during a 2015 fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set to a score by the Berlin-based musician Wibke Tiarks, the film features a variegated background that flashes beneath a series of figures as they transform one into another with a temporal rhythm.
