The Clark’s meadow of sculptures under the stars
Upon her first visit to the Clark, Los Angeles-based multimedia artist Analia Saban was charmed by the grazing cows. Her work, a 620-foot fence of varying designs, is a primer on several art theories. Her hope is that the cows will be “intellectually entertained.” Contributed photo/Thomas Clark
The Berlin-based artist Haegue Yang has created three large soapstone and resin sculptures based upon the 2018 inter-Korean summit held in her native land at the Demilitarized Zone. Television cameras only recorded birdsong and a bird rests atop each sphere. Contributed photo/CAI
