Amie Siegel
Born in 1974 in Chicago, États-Unis
Amie Siegel’s practice includes film, photography, performance, and installation. The artist questions the value of cultural memory and its gradual evolution towards the status of object or experience. She is also interested in the relationship between the body, gender, and architectural space, particularly through her view of the character Camille (Brigitte Bardot) and her interaction with the Casa Malaparte in Jean-Luc Godard’s Contempt (1963). This film is the starting point for a vast polymorphous series of installations, slide projections, performances, and works on paper.
Born in 1974 in Chicago, Amie Siegel graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1999. She was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2007. She is represented by Simon Preston Gallery (New York) and lives and works in New York.
