WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, March 14 at 11 am, the Clark Art Institute celebrates the opening of its latest installation, "Sónia Almeida: Stages," with a conversation between artist Sónia Almeida and exhibition curator Robert Wiesenberger, curator of contemporary projects.

The free talk takes place in the Clark's Manton Research Center auditorium.

Sónia Almeida: Stages presents three major installations by the artist in public spaces at the Clark. The year-long exhibition is free and open to the public. Almeida (b. 1978, Lisbon; lives and works in Boston) is professor of fine arts at Brandeis University. Through her work, she studies the circulation of images and the status of painting in a post-digital age. The exhibition's subtitle, "Stages," reflects Almeida's interest in the theatricality of artworks and the choreography they imply for viewers. It also implies process, and the steps and layers in Almeida's mixed media work, which often adopts the visual language of diagrams and instructional materials.

Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0570. For more details, visit events.clarkart.edu.

Sónia Almeida: Stages is organized by the Clark Art Institute and curated by Robert Wiesenberger, curator of contemporary projects.

Support for this exhibition is provided by Margaret and Richard Kronenberg.
