CLARK ART INSTITUTE PRESENTS FREE SERIES OF DISCUSSIONS: ART IN CONVERSATION
Williamstown, Massachusetts—This summer, the Clark Art Institute presents a free series of interactive Friday discussions, Art in Conversation. A Clark educator leads an interactive exploration of what makes a sculpture a sculpture, examining the artwork of sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) in dialogue with more traditional sculpture from the Clark's permanent collection. Discussions take place at 1 pm on July 25 and August 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29, and are free with gallery admission.
Capacity is limited. Pick up a ticket at the Clark Center admissions desk, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Meet in the Museum Pavilion. For more information, visit clarkart.edu/events.
Isamu Noguchi: Landscapes of Time is a non-chronological survey of acclaimed Japanese American artist Isamu Noguchi’s (1904–1988) work across media. It presents some of his most compelling engagements with time. The exhibition traces Noguchi’s interventions in the long march of geologic time, his explorations into the life cycles of natural and industrial materials, his meditations on memory and the relationship between the enduring and ephemeral, and his fluid traversals between the Stone Age and Space Age.
Isamu Noguchi: Landscapes of Time is co-organized by the Clark Art Institute and The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum and curated by the museum's Curator and Director of Research Matthew Kirsch and Curator Kate Wiener.
Generous support for this exhibition is provided by Cynthia and Ron Beck.
