Gladstone presents To Be Other-Wise, an exhibition of recent paintings, works on paper, and a video by Amy Sillman. Depicting both recognizable and reimagined forms, Sillman's paintings push and pull between overt abstraction and ciphered figuration. In To Be Other-Wise, Sillman lays bare the time and space in which abstraction is made through a sequential unfolding of thought and process. Her serial works on paper reveal an analog animation process, unfurling the various stages of mark-making that in paintings are compressed into buried layers. Sillman embraces an artistic process that champions improvisation and challenges conventional notions of form and representation.
