WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute's First Sundays Free program continues on Sunday, April 7. Offering free admission from 10 am–5 pm, the day also features a series of paper-themed special activities from 1–4 pm, including a tour of the Clark's "Paper Cities" exhibition at 2 pm.

 

According to a press release:

 

Engage with the limitless possibilities of paper in a variety of paper-play activities. Get three-dimensional with a single sheet of paper by making a pop-up book or take on woven paper activities and make a decorative object to take home. At 2 pm, Allison Marino, curatorial assistant for works on paper and curator of Paper Cities, leads a tour of the exhibition, diving deeper into the details of prints and photographs depicting cities. Throughout the afternoon, multidisciplinary artist Sunny Allis welcomes visitors to co-create an immersive, large-scale paper city installation in the lower level of the Clark Center.

 

On view in the Eugene V. Thaw Gallery for Works on Paper, located in the Manton Research Center, "Paper Cities" examines representations of cities in works on paper created from the late fifteenth to the early twentieth century. The exhibition asks the following questions: Which cities or sections of cities are these artists presenting? Are they emphasizing specific architectural or social elements, and if so, what motivates these choices? What roles do the cities play in advancing the narratives of the overall artworks?

 

In addition to "Paper Cities," visitors can view the Clark's fifth public spaces installation, "David-Jeremiah: I Drive Thee, in the Clark Center and Manton Research Center. The installation is free and open to the public and represents an overview of and conclusion to the artist's cycle of large circular reliefs, or tondos.

 

Free admission all day.
