The Parrish Art Museum continues to offer its outdoor, socially distanced walking tours of “Field of Dreams” and the “Bonac Blind” on Friday, February 26, from 3 to 4:30 PM.
Corinne Erni, the museum’s Senior Curator of Special Projects and ArtsReach, and Parrish docents will be stationed throughout the Meadow to discuss the sculpture with guests.
2020 Parrish Road Show artist Scott Bluedorn will be onsite to give tours of his Bonac Blind. Guests will be separated into small groups for the tours, and masks are required to be worn.
“Being onsite at the Parrish brings real joy to our visitors, and I’m pleased that we continue to offer plein air tours in the Meadow for our audiences to learn firsthand about the artists and artworks in ‘Field of Dreams’,” said Erni.
“Field of Dreams” presents work by 10 international, multi-generational artists working in a variety of genres, including Theaster Gates, Jaume Plensa, Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, Joel Perlman, Joel Shapiro, Max Ernst, Bernar Venet, Isa Genzken, and Giuseppe Penone.
“Bonac Blind” is an interpretation of duck blinds used for camouflage by local hunters by 2020 Parrish Road Show artist Scott Bluedorn, who describes the piece as “a floating, off-grid micro-home that references traditional Bonac culture of fishing, farming, and hunting while also serving as a comment on the erosion of this culture due to the compound problems of housing crisis, climate change, and modernity.”
Space is limited and advance ticket purchase with pre-event registration required. Tickets are $10 or free for members, students, and children. Visit www.parrishart.org.
