Opening: Amy Sillman: Oh Clock!

Amy Sillman, Duel, 2011, Öl auf Leinwand, 300 x 214 cm, Courtesy the artist and Thomas Dane London

Amy Sillman (*1955) is an important voice in American painting and has since the 1990s consistently interrogated the medium in a trans-disciplinary approach through drawing, printing, writing, object creation and animation. Sillman sees her painting as drawing that aspires to film or poetry. Much of her drawing explorations revolve around a total commitment to processes of transformation that are open to inversion, reconfiguration and re-examination. The exhibition focuses on Sillman’s treatment of time, its compression or expansion. With selected groups of works from the last twenty years, the multi-layered oeuvre is presented and brought into dialogue with the collection of the Kunstmuseum Bern. Following solo exhibitions at Kunsthaus Bregenz (2015) and Portikus in Frankfurt am Main (2016), the Kunstmuseum Bern presents the largest institutional solo exhibition of the US artist in Europe to date. The exhibition is produced in collaboration with the Ludwig Forum Aachen.
