This yearlong exhibition presents three major installations by Sónia Almeida in public spaces at the Clark. Almeida (b. 1978, Lisbon; lives and works in Boston) is professor of fine arts at Brandeis University. Through her work, she studies the circulation of images and the status of painting in a post-digital age. The exhibition’s subtitle, “Stages,” reflects Almeida’s interest in the theatricality of artworks and the choreography they imply for viewers. It also implies process, and the steps and layers in Almeida’s mixed media work, which often adopts the visual language of diagrams and instructional materials.

This installation, free and open to the public, is organized by the Clark Art Institute and curated by Robert Wiesenberger, John and Barbara Vogelstein Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at the Brooklyn Museum, former curator of contemporary projects at the Clark
