6.4.22 - Amie Siegel at Yale University
Amie Siegel will speak about her work 'Dynasty' (2017), at the Yale University symposium 'Object Lessons'.
Convened by Anthony Acciavatti, the event draws together designers, artists and scholars to engage with objects through the senses, a popular pedagogical method of imparting knowledge developed by Swiss education reformer and theorist Johann Pestalozzi in the late 18th century.
Participants in the symposium have devised a lesson from an object that rewards scrutiny and resists simple classification. It might be an everyday object, like a doorknob or carpet; a fantastical imaginary,
like a centaur or makara; or parafictional, like an object with a questionable provenance. By holding an object, weighing it and observing its texture, looking at its components, and perhaps tasting and smelling or listening to it, each speaker will render an entire world of actions and processes that went into its making.
Siegel's 'Dynasty' centers on a fragment of pink marble from the lobby of New York’s Trump Tower. The fragment was purchased by the artist on ebay after the 2016 US presidential election. Siegel placed the fragment in an exhibition vitrine along with two framed photographic prints— scans of “book-matched” marble slabs— quarried to create a mirrored, Rorschach-like effect, a wall text provenance of the marble fragment, and a single evidentiary photograph from the eBay seller. Together the elements raise questions around authenticity and the parallel narratives between material object-hood and desire, psychoanalytic and artistic practices.
Speakers include Adedoyin Teriba, Amie Siegel, Anthony Titus, D. Graham Burnett, Danielle Choi, Gökçe Günel, Kajri Jain, Lan Li, Nicholas de
Monchaux, Rahul Mehrotra, and Sylvia Lavin.

11.4.22 - Amie Siegel's 'Bloodlines' at Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
Opening tomorrow, Saturday, March 12: Amie Siegel, Bloodlines (2022)
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
(Modern One)75 Belford Rd, Edinburgh EH4 3DR
Exhibition dates: 12 March - 4 September 2022
The National Galleries of Scotland will will premiere a new large-scale artwork by Amie Siegel. Bloodlines (2022), one of Siegel’s most expansive works to date, considers complex networks of art, labour, pedigree and cultural identification. The work is the first of Siegel’sSiegel’s first to enter Scotland’s national collection and will debut at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art from 12 March – 4 September 2022.
Amie Siegel has long been interested in the lives of artworks and objects—how they gain cultural meaning and value. Filmed in numerous private estates throughout England and Scotland, as well as in public institutions, Bloodlines follows the movement of paintings by the English artist George Stubbs (1724-1806) from aristocratic homes and private country houses to their exhibition in a public art gallery, and subsequent return. First depicted within the ornate décor and stillness of the stately home interiors, the Stubbs paintings take on a new presence when installed by museum workers and seen on gallery walls by a viewing public, and in turn upon their return home. Siegel’s film offers an intimate look into the world of cultural property, exploring the ownership of heritage and distinctions between private and public realms.
Bloodlines exemplifies the artist’s understated mastery of form, revealing systems of class and inherited wealth, while subtly suggesting colonialism’s role in establishing and perpetuating these structures.
‘Bloodlines’ will also be on display at Thomas Dane Gallery, London, from 26 April – 23 July, 2022.
