WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, July 15, in conjunction with the opening of "Humane Ecology: Eight Positions," the Clark Art Institute hosts a lecture by Curator of Contemporary Projects Robert Wiesenberger. 

 

The lecture is presented in the Clark's auditorium at 2 pm.

 

According to a press release:

 

Featuring eight contemporary artists who consider the intertwined natural and social dimensions of ecological relationships, the exhibition includes sculpture, sound installation, video, and plantings. Each artist represents a distinct approach and place, or "position," and the complex dynamics between living things and their environments is essential to their thinking. Through their work, these artists illuminate patterns of cultivation and care, migration and adaptation, extraction, and exploitation that span historical, geographical, and species lines. 

 

"Humane Ecology" is presented in outdoor and indoor spaces at the Clark, including both the Clark Center and Lunder Center at Stone Hill.

 

Free; no registration required. 

 

"Humane Ecology: Eight Positions" is organized by the Clark Art Institute and curated by Robert Wiesenberger, curator of contemporary projects.

 

This exhibition is made possible by Denise Littlefield Sobel. Major funding is provided by Maureen Fennessy Bousa and Edward P. Bousa, with additional funding from Girlfriend Fund and Agnes Gund.
