WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Sunday, Feb. 4 at 4 pm, the Clark Art Institute presents "We Tried to Warn You! Environmental Crisis Posters, 1970–2020."

 

This conversation between Tim Medland, curator of the current exhibition at Poster House in New York, "We Tried to Warn You!," and Clark curator of contemporary projects, Robert Wiesenberger, takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.

 

According to a press release:

 

For the last half-century, artists and designers all over the world have sought to express the urgency of environmental issues in graphic terms—and to spark action. Their efforts have met with tragically little success, but the variety and ingenuity of their appeals is astounding. Medland and Wiesenberger present an introduction to the exhibition and a conversation about what it might take to get the message across.

 

Admission to the Clark is free through March 2024.
