WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, Aug. 9, at 11 am, the Clark Art Institute celebrates the opening of its newest exhibition "Isamu Noguchi: Landscapes of Time" with a free lecture.

The Isamu Noguchi Museum Foundation and Garden Museum's Matthew Kirsch, curator and director of research, and Kate Wiener, curator, introduce the exhibition. The lecture takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.

According to a press release:

Isamu Noguchi: Landscapes of Time explores Noguchi's fluid relationship with time—his ability to move between past, present, and future in his art. Through sculpture, design, and public works, Noguchi engaged with geologic time, material life cycles, and memory. Kirsch and Wiener provide insight into how Noguchi's non-linear approach shaped his work, from ancient influences to futuristic visions, offering a deeper understanding of his search for belonging beyond temporal constraints.

Free. Accessible seats available; for information call 413 458 0524.

"Isamu Noguchi: Landscapes of Time" is co-organized by the Clark Art Institute and The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, and curated by the Museum's Curator and Director of Research Matthew Kirsch and Curator Kate Wiener.

Support for this exhibition is provided by Cynthia and Ron Beck.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Rev. Darrell Goodwin told attendees at Wednesday's "PrayAction Breakfast" that they need more action to make their prayer effective.

"Sometimes prayer causes us to be in deep reflection," Goodwin told the group gathered at the Williamstown Meetinghouse. "And years and years and years pass, and we've actually done nothing about it.

"Our physical belief system is somehow: Say the words to God, and it becomes God's responsibility, and we've done our part because we've told God exactly what to do."

Goodwin, the president of the United Church of Christ's Southern New England Conference, was invited to Williamstown by First Congregational Church to speak on "The Challenge of Christian Nationalism."

And Goodwin challenged his listeners to take meaningful action to confront and address the ideology in their daily lives.
