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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In "After Metamorphoses", Sillman exercises the possibility of endless change, a theme first developed in her animated works and that continues to inform her paintings and drawings. Her adaptation of Ovid is one of a number of works that Sillman has made in collaboration with poets, including Lisa Robertson and Charles Bernstein, among others. In tandem with the exhibition, Sillman will create a limited edition zine, the eleventh in her series of zines entitled O.G.
