Description

For The Armory Show 2020 edition, Miami-based artist Amy Schissel has created “From Here to There,” a paper-based, site-specific installation first conceived and created during the artist’s 2019 Residency at the Joan Mitchell Foundation in New Orleans. The installation is a multi-tiered, fantastical meta-narrative of worlds colliding as interpreted through a female lens. A re-mapping of our contemporary landscape visualizing junctures where physical, factual cartography melds with counterpart, effervescent, informational traffic, emphasizing the dematerialized quality of our data-driven culture. Covering the entire viewing space, the work appears as an immersive electronic skin—a hypothetical interface or gateway between our physical geography and vast, multilayered terrains of cyberspace. Marking out personal charts and rhizomatic journeys through analog and digital realms, the project is presented in layers of drawing and painting on paper, screen print, ink jet print, and paper relief sculpture.
