We’re thrilled to announce that has been named a recipient of the prestigious 30th Heinz Award for the Arts from !

The Heinz Family Foundation recognizes outstanding achievements in the arts, economy, and environment. This year, Marie K. Watt and Jennifer M. Packer were both honored with the Heinz Award for the Arts, each receiving an unrestricted cash prize of $250,000.

Through her printmaking, sculpture, and textile works, Marie creates art that builds community, honors her Indigenous traditions, and tells a shared human story. As Teresa Heinz, Chairman of the Heinz Family Foundation, said, “Marie’s art brings us joy, and her welcoming practice of engaging the community is a model and inspiration for creating lasting intergenerational connections.”

Since its creation to honor the memory of the late U.S. Senator John Heinz, the Heinz Awards have celebrated excellence and achievement in areas of great importance to him. This year’s awards bring the total number of recipients to 186, with more than $32 million in awards distributed since 1993.

A huge congratulations to Marie on this major award! 🏆

Now open at ! Congraulations to Stephanie Syjuco () and curator Matthew Villar Miranda () on their major Art Wall project at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, on view through June 28, 2026!

Debuting her largest wall installation to date, artist Stephanie Syjuco (b. 1974, Manila, Philippines; lives and works in Oakland) presents Present Tense (Roll Call). Referencing the classroom routine of announcing one’s presence, the exhibition explores radical pedagogy in the politics of education. Syjuco’s practice spans from handcrafted textiles to archival excavations, interrogating how photography and archives shape racialized narratives of being and belonging.

Swipe through for installation images of Syjuco’s incredible project, a massive pile-up and anarchival index all in one.

SPECIAL EVENT AT BAMPFA
Saturday, August 16, 1 PM
Artist’s Talk and Conversation: Stephanie Syjuco and Matthew Villar Miranda

Artist Stephanie Syjuco (b. 1974, Manila, Philippines) is joined in conversation by Curatorial Associate Matthew Villar Miranda, who organized her new Art Wall project. Reflecting on radical pedagogy, the politics of education, and the construction of historical narratives, the conversation will explore how Syjuco transforms syllabi, indexes, and archival references into a visually immersive field of layered text and image.

Calling all bibliophiles! 📚 We’re celebrating National Book Lovers Day with some of our favorite monographs from . Scroll through for our staff picks, plus a special surprise from at the end!

Staff Picks
Halden Willard (), Sales Associate and Manager of

“Vince Aletti: The Drawer” ($60)
Why we love it: Aletti is one of the most important American photography critics and curators. He was also an early champion of artists like Peter Hujar and Nan Goldin. “The Drawer” chronicles his collection of printed matter and photo-based ephemera. It’s a deeply personal, often funny, and exhilarating chronicle of visual culture and q***r life over the last 50 years.

📕

Catharine Clark (), Owner and Founding Director

“Joel Daniel Phillips and Quraysh Ali Lansana: Killing the Negative: A Conversation in Art & Verse” ($50)
Why we love it: Phillips’s solo exhibition, “A Compelling Narrative,” continues his exploration of the United States Farm Security Administration’s photo documentation of the Great Depression. The FSA’s photos were often used to sell the New Deal and its social programs to the American public. “Killing the Negative” documents how this project began, pairing Phillips’s powerful and haunting renderings of “cancelled” images from the FSA’s archives with poems from invited poets (selected by Lansana), including U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo.

📕

Anton Stuebner (), Partner and Director

“Carrie Mae Weems: Kitchen Table Series” ($60)
Why we love it: Long out of print, Weems’s extraordinary monograph tells the story of one woman’s life through a series of intimate encounters at her kitchen table. Weems’s work is sensual, playful, sober, and vulnerable, often all at once. This book is more than a slice of life—it tells a full story of life itself, in all its beautiful complexities, across 20 images and 14 text panels.

📖

Bonus Image!
This is what happens when we forget to eat at work. 😅

Lenka Clayton, “Anger Management” ($500)
This is a sculptural edition with the magic ingredients of “Anger Management” the book plus anger! đŸȘ„đŸ”„

Opening Thursday! Catharine Clark Gallery is excited to announce its participation in the inaugural .art in North Adams, MA. Founded and organized by Yng-Ru Chen, Crystalle Lacouture, and Sarah Galender Meyer, an invitational, biannual art fair situated in the Berkshires mountains of western Massachusetts, equidistant from New York City and Boston.

Catharine Clark Gallery presents a solo presentation of typewriter drawings, textiles, and sculptures by , in conversation with collaborative video works by Lenka Clayton and Phillip Andrew Lewis. Clayton’s widely acclaimed and beloved work engages with everyday situations, extending the familiar into the realms of the poetic and absurd. Clayton is the founder of An Artist Residency in Motherhood, a self-directed, open-source artist residency program that takes place in the homes of artists who are also parents.

Clayton has created a new series of “Typewriter Drawings” — rendered a portable 1957 Smith-Corona Skyriter typewriter — that playfully respond to the space of a hotel and its transient visitors. One drawing reflects on the ratio of births versus deaths in hotel rooms (they are, surprisingly, almost equal), while another depicts a nest of tangled necklaces left for housekeeping to sort out.
