FRANCESCO CLEMENTE'S 'ENCAMPMENT' AT MASS MoCA

 
 

"Every single moment of the unfolding experience of the work is just a pretext to move on, or move forward from that moment. It's never supposed to be a beginning or an ending: it's supposed to be a transition."
FRANCESCO CLEMENTE/ MASS MoCA CATALOG/ Quote from The Brooklyn Rail/ 2013

 

Francesco Clemente was born in Italy and lives and works in Varanasi, India and New York, NY. MASS MoCA's installation, FRANCESCO CLEMENTE: ENCAMPMENT, is on view in North Adams, MA until January 2016. Images below are from the exhibition of tents.

 

"INSIDE THE TENTS, WASHES OF WATERCOLOR DESCRIBE FIGURES RANGING FROM BYZANTINE ANGELS AND GROTESQUE DEVILS TO TOP-HATTED BUSINESSMEN AND - IN THE CASE OF MUSEUM TENT' - CLEMENTE HIMSELF REACHING OUT FROM A SERIES OF FRAMED SELF PORTRAITS."
