2.8.22 - Amie Siegel at ArkDes
Now on view: Amie Siegel, ‘The Silence’ (2022) at ArkDes, the Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design
Exhibition dates: 3 June – 30 October 2022
A double projection composed of opposed, alternating segments—each performed and filmed in two churches designed by Swedish architect Sigurd Lewerentz (1885 – 1975)—'The Silence’ considers the relationship between architecture, music, sound, and the immaterial.
‘The Silence’ behaves much like a vinyl album—each “side”, or video projection, performing a musical score the artist adapted from the unique brick-patterned walls of the churches and had played on the distinctive organs Lewerentz designed for each space. The uncanny similarity Siegel draws between the architect’s graphic brickwork and player piano scores—paper rolls dotted with patterns of small, perforated absences that generate ghostly “self-playing” music—here alludes to the larger existential questions of presence and absence, sound and silence, that often guide or contravene spiritual life, and thus imbue ‘The Church’ as a unique architectural space wherein such inquiries take shape.

15.6.22 - Amie Siegel in conversation with The Guardian's Adrian Searle
Wednesday 22 June, 7pm
Amie Siegel will be in conversation with Adrian Searle, art critic at The Guardian, discussing Bloodlines (2022), currently on display at Thomas Dane Gallery, London, and at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh.
Siegel has long been interested in the lives of artworks and objects—how they gain cultural meaning and value. Bloodlines follows the movement of paintings by the English artist George Stubbs (1724-1806), from their aristocratic homes to their exhibition in a public art gallery, and subsequent return, thus rendering visible complex networks of art, pedigree and cultural identification. Filmed in numerous private country estates and public institutions across the UK, Bloodlines offers an intimate look into the world of cultural property, the ownership of heritage and distinctions between private and public realms. One of Siegel’s most ambitious works to date, 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.
