The Clearing is proud to present the inaugural show Lawn Monuments in Cragsmoor, New York.
Logistics create sculptural boundaries. Non site-specific sculpture often has a foreign ornamental feel that challenges the site. Still, the monumental is possible. Lawn Monuments brings 12-14 artists and their (varying degrees of) portable sculpture together for a two-day show which will be presented in the woods of Cragsmoor, NY on August 19th, 2023.
Each work challenges monumentality and drifts in and out of the kitschiness of lawn ornamentation. Works will all be brought by the artist and placed within the context of the woods, in the clearing or along the trails. The constraints of the exhibition require that the sculptures be somewhat portable, but the works also approach the monumental. Sculptors are problem solvers. This exhibition celebrates their solutions.
