The Clark – Thomas Hirschhorn Communication, Circulation, and the City

Clark Fellow Lisa Lee (Emory University) considers contemporary artist Thomas Hirschhorn’s strategies and motivations for using unorthodox modes of circulation—gifting, pamphleting, hawking, abandoning—in pursuit of a nonexclusive audience for his work. By setting his work in movement across Paris, Hirschhorn’s experimental incursions into public space increasingly tested the possibility of meaningful communication.

The Clark – Hue and Cry, French Printmaking and the Debate Over Color

Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs Anne Leonard presents the opening lecture of the exhibition Hue & Cry: French Printmaking and the Debate Over Colors. The exhibition and lecture presented on December 11, 2021 explored the opposition to color in nineteenth-century French printmaking. Vivid color—technically difficult to achieve, expensive, and frowned upon as a matter of aesthetic taste—nevertheless became the signature quality of some of the era’s best-loved prints and posters.
