Andrea Meislin Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of a different STATE of mind, Amy Simon’s first exhibition since joining the Gallery. Simon’s work is also currently on view at the 53rd Venice Biennale, International Exhibition “Making Worlds” curated by Daniel Birnbaum. The works presented at Andrea Meislin Gallery are a variation on the themes and media explored there, incorporating photos, drawings and wallpapers.

Amy Simon lives in Stockholm, Sweden and New York City; she works with both photography and drawing and allows the two mediums to draw from one another so that each simultaneously acts as a source and are included as a distinct part of the same project. Over the years each series of work has developed from her repeated travel to locations around the world of particular interest and personal memories.

Simon has exhibited extensively in Sweden as well as in Paris and New York. Her institutional and gallery exhibitions have generated a great deal of press in local and national Scandinavian cultural publications. Her work has been collected by important private and public collections. On view in the gallery will be ten large-scale photographs, a series of new drawings, a wallpaper currently exhibited in the Venice Biennale re-made specifically for the Gallery and a new wallpaper piece.
