Amie Siegel’s Vues/Views (2024) will debut as part of Making Home—Smithsonian Design Triennial at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York, opening this Saturday, 2 November 2024.

Vues/Views is a double-sided installation—comprised of a wide-screen film (recto) and panoramic work on paper (verso)—that considers the role of French panoramic wallpapers animating interiors in the United States. In Siegel’s new work, these “scenic wallpapers” and their locations become a prism through which scenes of power, privilege, race, and class refract and converge.

Making Home—Smithsonian Design Triennial features 25 new commissions that explore design’s role in shaping the physical and emotional realities of home across the United States, US Territories, and Tribal Nations.
