Events at deCordova include outdoor programs with artists

July 25, 2018

“Taking the Cure” by Cat Mazza.

Earlier this month, the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum installed two new large-scale sculptures in the Park, both created specifically for deCordova, and both artists will host events this summer.

Cat Mazza, creator of “Taking the Cure,” will give an artist’s talk at a craft evening on Saturday, July 28 from 4–6 p.m. Her sculpture explores issues of convalescence and self-care through an intricate wooden latticework inspired by New England’s “cure cottages,” which were used to treat tuberculosis patients in the nineteenth century. As she and participants work on a woven textile piece together, Mazza will talk about the history of the cure cottages in New England and how that has inspired her piece for deCordova.

“Pasture Song” by Nancy Winship Milligan.

Nancy Winship Milliken’s “Pasture Song” features reclaimed cello bow hair woven into a net and suspended from a wooden frame. The horse hair, once used to flick flies on a hot summer day, was fashioned into a bow to make music and then returned to the harmony of nature. Bring your own lunch and join Milliken for a picnic in front of her sculpture on Thursday, Aug. 2 from noon–1 p.n. and  learn about how she constructed the piece, her experiences making art on farms around the globe, and her commitment to environmental practice.

In “Sensing Place: A Summer Photo Workshop” on Saturday, Aug. 4 from 10 a.m.–noon, Concord naturalist and photographer Cherrie Corey leads an exploration of deCordova’s natural and artistic landscape on an outdoor tour focused on how contemporary sculptors devise innovative ways of casting and replication to explore memory, artifice and history. Ages 12+. For emerging and experienced photographers alike. Free with admission or membership; registration requested.
