Last week, I traveled out Route 2 to Harvard, MA and the Fruitlands Museum to lay out the PRC’s warmly received landscape exhibition, New England Survey.  The exhibition will run August 23 – December 21, 2008 with an opening reception on Sunday, September 14, 4 – 6pm.

Take a sneak peek at the installation and their beautiful grounds in this flickr set!

I am thrilled at how it turned out.  The work is in their Picture Gallery, right next to Hudson River School paintings and right outside are incredible views and nature trails.  The juxtapositions created are stunning.  Come re-experience work by Barbara Bosworth, Tanja Alexia Hollander, Janet Pritchard, Thad Russell, Jonathan Sharlin, and Paul Taylor.

A little history - This past spring, we were approached by the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, MA, to show a version of the PRC exhibition New England Survey in fall 2008. Fruitlands, a former Transcendentalist, Utopian center, is increasingly considering exhibitions that complement their interpretive themes (Inhabiting Nature, Encounters on a Changing Landscape, and Traditions that Bind) as well as intersect with their mission. New England Survey was a perfect fit and joins a special exhibition of Joe Wheelwright’s trees sculptures currently on their grounds.  I am proud as a peach, as it’s the first show that I put together that has traveled.

We are thrilled that Fruitlands loved the exhibition so much and that it will live on and be shown at such a beautiful location during New England’s peak fall season. We invite you to see it again in this unique setting, or for the first time. Take a whole day, have lunch, walk the trails, and explore their collections, it’s that amazing!

Visit www.fruitlands.org for more information and directions.  See you at the opening!
