There is a certain degree of magic required in curation, be it curating other people’s work or composing your own work and vision for an upcoming exhibition. To celebrate the concurrent opening of two mammoth shows, The Ark at The Church and Amy Sillman: Alternate Side (Permutations #1-32) at Dia Bridgehampton, artist/curator Eric Fischl joins renowned artist Amy Sillman in dialogue, discussing their respective shows and the process of putting them together. The collaborative program invites audiences to inquiry and insight as the two artists share their perspectives and values in determining thematic choices, inclusion, and overall vision, while doing a deep dive into two of this summer’s great East End contemporary art exhibitions. The pair will be joined by Jordan Carter, Curator and Co-Deapartment Head, Dia Art Foundation, who will moderate the dialogue and offer his own insights into the process. Following the discussion there will be a Q&A with the two.
