Date/Time
Location
The Clark Art Institute (225 South Street, Williamstown, MA 01267, Williamstown MA)
Mariel Capanna, the artist behind this year’s public spaces installation at the Clark, introduces the exhibition. By blending found objects with abstract marks inspired by films, documentaries, slideshows, and home videos, Capanna creates perceptual fields that explore themes of distance and memory.
Capanna received a BFA and Certificate of Fine Art from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and an MFA from Yale University. From 2021–23, Capanna was the Mellon Post-MFA Fellow in Studio Art at Williams College, and is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Art at Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.
