Amie Siegel (b.1974)
A film installation and works on paper by New York based artist Amie Siegel (b 1974) will occupy the Pigott Gallery. Known for her meticulously layered works that trace the undercurrents of cultural ownership and image-making, her acclaimed film Bloodlines (2022) follows the movement of paintings by British artist George Stubbs (1724-1806) from private stately homes and museum collections to public exhibition. Siegel’s deft composition and associative editing allow subtle readings and questionings of our cultural heritage.
Siegel’s print series Cloudes (2023) are ten studies that transpose and combine details of the sky as portrayed in paintings by Stubbs— puffs and veils of cloud, atmosphere and greenery —on a one-to-one scale with the original paintings, underscoring her interest in temporality, montage and the material image. Stubbs spent nine months at Goodwood painting three sporting scenes which remain part of Goodwood’s historic art collection. Siegel’s work provides a vital link to Goodwood’s past and present involvement in contemporary art.
