Since the early 1980s, Amy Sillman has been creating mercurial drawings, paintings, and moving images that draw the viewer’s attention to the formal, psychological, and conceptual capacities of her materials. This exhibition presents the artist’s recent work After Metamorphoses—an “animated drawing” based on the Roman poet Ovid’s fifteen-book epic Metamorphoses, which chronicles the creation of the world and its early history through a series of mythological transformations.
