On 22 June Steve McQueen will be in conversation with social theorist Paul Gilroy, writer Gary Younge and Tate Director Maria Balshaw, discussing McQueen’s recent publication, Year 3. 

The book documents McQueen’s ambitious project of the same name, which used the medium of the traditional school class photograph to capture tens of thousands of London school children from a single academic year, displayed at Tate Britain and on billboards around London, as a way of exploring a range of ideas around citizenship and representation.

The talk is part of The Guardian Live series.

Amie Siegel's Genealogies (2016) is being screened online until 12 May 2022 as part of the artist's contribution to Pompeii Commitment. Archaeological Matters, a contemporary arts programme commissioned by Pompeii Archaeological Park.

Genealogies weaves an associative tissue of links and references by combining novels, films, images, advertising and soundtrack from multiple sources into a baroque invocation of image and artwork provenance, remake and copy. The video traces the sculptural, gendered iconography of architecture and the female body, querying how these are visualised in cinema and harnessed by advertising and music videos.

Extending from Wilhem Jensen's novella Gradiva to Freud, de Chirico, Rossellini, Curzio Malaparte, Resnais, Robbe-Grillet, Godard, Pink Floyd, the Beastie Boys, and images by brands Hugo Boss and Persol, the work maps a broadly layered trajectory of ideas shared and reprised, speculating on homage, influence and originality, ultimately drawing together a genealogical lineage of adaptation, appropriation and recurrence.

Following the two week long online screening, a collection of visual and textual excerpts will populate the Pompeii Commitment portal, including sketches, notes and materials related to the making of Genealogies, images from Siegel's related series of works on paper, Body Scripts (2015), and exhibition images of the corresponding multi-channel video installation The Noon Complex (2016).

Amie Siegel will speak about her work 'Dynasty' (2017), at the Yale University symposium 'Object Lessons'.

Convened by Anthony Acciavatti, the event draws together designers, artists and scholars to engage with objects through the senses, a popular pedagogical method of imparting knowledge developed by Swiss education reformer and theorist Johann Pestalozzi in the late 18th century.

Participants in the symposium have devised a lesson from an object that rewards scrutiny and resists simple classification. It might be an everyday object, like a doorknob or carpet; a fantastical imaginary,
like a centaur or makara; or parafictional, like an object with a questionable provenance. By holding an object, weighing it and observing its texture, looking at its components, and perhaps tasting and smelling or listening to it, each speaker will render an entire world of actions and processes that went into its making.

Siegel's 'Dynasty' centers on a fragment of pink marble from the lobby of New York’s Trump Tower. The fragment was purchased by the artist on ebay after the 2016 US presidential election. Siegel placed the fragment in an exhibition vitrine along with two framed photographic prints— scans of “book-matched” marble slabs— quarried to create a mirrored, Rorschach-like effect, a wall text provenance of the marble fragment, and a single evidentiary photograph from the eBay seller. Together the elements raise questions around authenticity and the parallel narratives between material object-hood and desire, psychoanalytic and artistic practices.

Speakers include Adedoyin Teriba, Amie Siegel, Anthony Titus, D. Graham Burnett, Danielle Choi, Gökçe Günel, Kajri Jain, Lan Li, Nicholas de
Monchaux, Rahul Mehrotra, and Sylvia Lavin.
