Ground/work 2025: A Close Look
Date/Time
Location
The Clark Art Institute (225 South Street, Williamstown, MA 01267, Williamstown MA)
A Clark educator leads a close examination and in-depth discussion around the outdoor sculpture Oscillation: Vertical Garden by Japanese artist Yō Akiyama. Akiyama has spent a lifetime exploring the physical properties of clay as a material, creating massive sculptural ceramics. Anchored to the ground and reaching towards the sky, the artist's sculpture is inspired by the trees in the Clark's landscape. Through guided conversation and reflection, participants consider how Akiyama's work is in active dialogue with the Clark's natural environment.
Free. Requires a moderate hike on uneven and occasionally steep terrain. Held rain or shine; extreme weather cancels the event. Meet at the Lunder Center at Stone Hill. Details: clarkart.edu/events
