Friday, May 17 2019 (6:00 pm - 9:00 pm) - Amie Siegel has earned international acclaim for her work in film, video, photography, performance and installation. Over the last decade, she has created engulfing, carefully researched works exploring history, psychoanalysis, economics, and the global trade in art and artefacts. In the new exhibition "Medium Cool," the Blaffer Art Museum features three recent works by Siegel: Dynasty, 2017, an installation centered on a fragment of pink marble from Trump Tower; Fetish, 2016, a video unveiling the annual nighttime cleaning of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's practice rooms and personal archeological collection; and Quarry, 2015, a video following the production cycle of marble facades, from their origins in underground mines to their use in high-rise multimillion dollar model apartments. Additionally, especially for the Blaffer presentation, Siegel has made a new series of marble-dust paintings at the Vermont facility where much of Quarry was shot. The opening reception for the exhibition will take place in the Blaffer Art Gallery. Click here to learn more.
