Please join us in Houston, Texas, for a presentation by the Brooklyn-based artist Amy Sillman (2015 Resident) entitled Drawing in the Continuous Present. This talk has been organized in collaboration with the Menil Drawing Institute and is part of their series Draw In: Conversations and Lectures on Drawing and Its Resonances.

Sillman was the 2015 Mary Miss Artist in Residence at the American Academy in Rome. She has been the subject of two major solo exhibitions at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. Her work is held in the collections of the Menil Drawing Institute; the Museum of Modern Art in New York; and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others.

Sillman will be introduced by Toby Kamps, the Menil’s curator of modern and contemporary Art. Mark Robbins, AAR president, will also be on hand to provide some remarks before Sillman’s lecture.

Support for Conversations/Conversazioni: From the American Academy in Rome is provided by the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation.
