The Clark -First Sunday Free: Bending Bodies
Many artists put themselves into their artwork, but for artist Milena Naef, it’s literal! Naef’s monumental work of marble, Three Times Spanning, on view atop Stone Hill in the outdoor sculpture exhibition Ground/work 2025, includes a precise indentation of her own body. From 1–4 pm, take inspiration from Naef into your own hands—or arms, or legs, or feet—with drop-in art-making all about the body. Create giant tracings of your body or make a mini sculpture inspired by Naef’s work. Then, place your small sculpture on a large-scale map of the Clark’s campus to create a collaborative mini-Ground/work exhibition! Feeling moved? At 1 pm or 2 pm, join educator and dancer Molly Hess for an all-ages movement workshop exploring shape, space, and sculpture. Then, head into the galleries at 3 pm for a guided tour comparing Naef’s sculpture to marble sculptures featuring the human figure in the Clark’s permanent collection. For a self-guided experience, head up Stone Hill with our Three Times Spanning activity card and explore the sculpture yourself.
Movement workshops and guided tour capacities are limited; participants may reserve their spot on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the event.
