Sónia Almeida will present three site-responsive installations for this exhibition in public spaces at the Clark. Almeida (b. 1978, Lisbon; lives and works in Boston) is professor of fine arts at Brandeis University, where she teaches printmaking, painting, and fabric arts — practices she generally combines in a single installation. The artist is fascinated by patterns, image reproduction technologies, and instructional materials. The subtitle “Stages” reflects her interest in how an artwork performs and the choreography it implies for viewers, but also in process: steps and layers, of which there are many in Almeida’s richly textured works.
This year-long installation, free and open to the public, is organized by the Clark Art Institute and curated by Robert Wiesenberger, curator of contemporary projects.
Generous support for Sónia Almeida: Stages is provided by Margaret and Richard Kronenberg.
