Clark Art Institute Presents Artist's Talk with Laura Ellen Bacon
 |
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass.— The Clark Art Institute will host an artist's talk with British artist Laura Ellen Bacon on Thursday, May 29, at 4 p.m. Bacon is one of the artists participating in the upcoming "Ground/work 2025" exhibition.
Bacon will be on the Clark's campus in May to construct a sculpture using willow branches. Attendees are invited to join her outdoors at the sculpture's location, situated beyond the bridge from the Lunder Center where the Nan Path and Woodland Trail intersect, to learn about her creative process as it unfolds. This event offers an opportunity to hear directly from the artist during the creation of her work.
"Ground/work 2025", curated by independent art historian Glenn Adamson, will feature outdoor installations by international artists Y? Akiyama, Laura Ellen Bacon, Aboubakar Fofana, Hugh Hayden, Milena Naef, and Javier Senosiain. The installations will be on display for over a year, allowing visitors to observe the artworks in varying conditions of light and weather.
The "Ground/work 2025" exhibition is organized by the Clark Art Institute and curated by Glenn Adamson.
The exhibition is supported by Denise Littlefield Sobel, with major funding from the Edward and Maureen Fennessy Bousa Fund for Contemporary Projects, Karen and Robert Scott, and VIA Art Fund. Additional support is provided by Girlfriend Fund, Agnes Gund, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
The artist's talk is free and will take place regardless of weather conditions. Attendees are advised to dress accordingly. For accessibility inquiries, call 413-458-0524.
