ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Join us on Earth Day (Saturday, April 22) at 2pm at the Clark Auditorium for a conversation with artist Carolina Caycedo exploring her ecofeminist practice. Caycedo is known for her performances, video, artist’s books, sculptures, and installations that examine environmental and social issues. Her work contributes to the construction of environmental historical memory, as a fundamental element for the non-repetition of violence against human and nonhuman entities.
Carolina Caycedo has developed publicly engaged projects in major cities across the globe and has held residencies at the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) in Berlin as well as the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California, among others. She has participated in numerous international exhibitions, including the Sydney, Chicago Architecture, Sao Paulo, Istanbul, Berlin, Havana, and Whitney Biennials. Caycedo’s recent solo museum exhibitions include Projects: Carolina Caycedo and David de Rozas at MoMA (2022–2023); Land of Friends at Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Newcastle, United Kingdom (2022–2023); From the Bottom of the River at the MCA Chicago (2020–2021); Cosmotarrayas at ICA Boston (2020).
Presented in connection with the upcoming exhibition Humane Ecology: Eight Positions curated by Robert Wiesenberger, featuring a group of contemporary artists who consider the intertwined natural and social dimensions of environmental questions: Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Carolina Caycedo, Allison Janae Hamilton, Juan Antonio Olivares, Christine Howard Sandoval, Pallavi Sen, and Kandis Williams. Opening July 15, 2023, the exhibition is presented in outdoor and indoor spaces at the Clark, including both the Clark Center and Lunder Center at Stone Hill. Caycedo presents her work at the Clark this summer in collaboration with Williams College art students and 1960s Scholars Group.
