Hi everyone! 

My exhibition “Alternate Side: Permutations 1-32” opened at Dia Bridgehampton June 28 and will be up for almost a year—a painted/printed/drawn improv space made the same way I treat paper when printing. & it will be painted out after it’s over! You can find more description and info on Dia’s website HERE and see more images in the “Exhibitions” section of my website HERE.

 

     
 

Check out this interview that I did with Mara Veitch from Cultured Magazine, in advance of my upcoming show at Dia Bridgehampton. You can read the full article HERE!

 

I will be joining Eric Fischl and Jordan Carter in conversation at The Church, Sag Harbor on Sunday, June 29, 3:30-5:00 pm. It’s currently sold out but you can add your name to the waitlist HERE.

 

I was featured, along with many other talented artists, in the Hamptons issue of New York Magazine. Look at Emma!

 

I sat down with Jordan Carter for a conversation for Luncheon Magazine that is in print now! On the occasion of my forthcoming show at Dia Bridgehampton, we discuss my intertwined explorations in video, drawing, printmaking, and painting, as well as my thoughts on improvisation, jazz, dance, and the legacy of Dia. Read the entire interview HERE.

 

At Thomas Dane, Naples—Push Me, Pull You, curated by Jenni Lomax! May 27 – September 27! From the Press release:

 

“Featuring works by nine artists from past and present generations, Push Me, Pull You arrives out of a conversation held in 2018 with the artist Amy Sillman. The note ‘pushing to the edge, pulling back from the brink’ arose from a discussion about painting in general, and the artist Prunella Clough in particular. What connects the artists in this exhibition is the sense that they think and – to quote Clough – ‘fight’ with their materials. By taking things emotionally and physically to an edge, before bringing them back into view, each artist allows shape, imagery and atmosphere to emerge. They therefore build a conversation that goes back-and-forth between the materiality of the process and something drawn from the back of the mind or caught out of the corner of the eye.”

Cahier # 66

ANNUAL ARTIST ISSUE: AMY SILLMAN

 

I got to fill the pages of this issue of Cahier with process images and installation shots from my show at the Ludwig Forum Aachen, collages, other inspo and even a Mel Bochner excerpt! Cahier’s usual list of exhibitions in the region around Aachen is there as well. Look for a copy wherever they’re available! More info HERE.

 

 

I’m beyond excited to announce the second iteration of my show Oh, Clock! at the Ludwig Forum Aachen in Germany! It’s a solo show of some of my work from the past few years (painting, drawing, installation, video) AND another expansive show of work that I curated from the Ludwig collection in Aachen, this time hung on giant movable walls that I painted in the museum, improvisationally! (No sketches or plans!) It’s a massive show full of unlikely pairings, lesser known artists from the former East bloc, and pieces from the collection that have never been shown in the Museum before. The show opened on Friday, March 21 and runs through August 31, 2025. More information HERE.

 
 

A really long article about my show in Bern (with beautiful pix by the BEST photographer, Annik Wetter) came out today by Sascha Behrendt. Thank you Sascha & Annik (and to Curator magazine). The show closes this Sunday Feb 2! But it goes to Ludwig Forum, Aachen next with a NEW collection show there, in March —meanwhile the Bern collection show I organized will **remain** at Km Bern ’til Nov 25! So… l hope you can check it out! See the article HERE!

 

I have two things in Issue 248 of Frieze Magazine! A to-do list for 2025 as well as some words about the great Joan Mitchell. You can read my essay along with writings by Andrew Durbin,  Emily LaBarge, and Lucy Ives HERE.

 

Check out Fall: Abstraction as X-ray, my third guest opinion column for the Washington Post! Just like the last two, it’s comprised of a written piece and a one minute animation with another amazing score by Marina Rosenfeld. You can check it out in the Writing section of my website or  CLICK HERE to see it all on the Post’s website

 

Opening November 6: Nothing Is: Sun Ra and Others’ Covers at Corbett vs. Dempse! I created a Sun Ra album cover along with many other amazing artists that will be on view in both Chicago and Cologne. More info HERE!

 

Please come to my artist talk at the Kunstmuseum Bielefeld on Wednesday, October 30 at 6pm!

Artur-Ladebeck-Straße 5, 33602 Bielefeld, Germany

 

It’s Ei Arakawa-Nash’s show in Tokyo!!! (I’m included with some of our collaborations – including these wearable “vestments” I made for people to wear during performances of Ei’s at the Guggenheim in nyc some years ago! I love them. They’re made on old cut-up auction catalogs…. (+ a movie we made last summer with Leidy Churchman that I haven’t even seen!!) I wish I could see the rest of the show, I bet it’s AMAZING! The show runs from October 30 to December 16, 2024. More info HERE!
