Yearlong show features Daniel Clayman's cast glass boulders, new series of work
Radiant Landscape comes on the heels of a highly successful installation unveiled at MassArt in Boston earlier this year called Rainfield.



HAMILTON, NJ.- In celebration of its 25th year as one of America’s premiere sculpture parks, Grounds For Sculpture has mounted a spectacular installation and solo exhibition of the work of Providence sculptor Daniel Clayman. Titled Radiant Landscape, the show opened in GFS’ Museum Building May 5th.

The exhibition is composed of two site-specific interior glass installations that mark the first time the Museum itself has been essential to the invention of an artist’s concept. Drawing on his background as a theater designer, Clayman has created a stage for filtered light, stringing thousands of panels of glass cut from antique-style stained glass sheets, transforming the space into transparent three-dimensional color fields. These glass “curtains” act as a lens projecting and bending light, while the color of the glass acts as a filter, changing the color of the space and projecting patterns onto the “stage.” In addition to the indoor installations, three boulders from Clayman’s new series, titled “North 41º, West 71º (referring to the place the boulders were found) will be on view outdoors in the adjacent gardens. These are cast glass replicas of actual large boulders that Clayman and his team have excavated, and are meant to be specific and meaningful to the sites in which they were unearthed.

“I am thrilled at the opportunity of working with such an accommodating and stellar team in such a glorious space,” said Clayman. “It has enabled me to realize my installation work in ever more monumental scale and scope to become profound landscapes of light and mood.”

Radiant Landscape comes on the heels of a highly successful installation unveiled at MassArt in Boston earlier this year called Rainfield, in which Clayman, as a Visiting Artist, worked with students to produce more than 10,000 glass “raindrops,” which were then suspended from ceiling trusses in a broad Roman arch. The Boston Globe hailed Rainfield as a triumph and a “crystal canopy of starlight.” Both installations reflect Clayman’s continued exploration of the landscape sited in interior spaces.
