The Burchfield-Penney Art Center has organized two travelling exhibitions
available during 1996.
"After Charles Burchfield: New Works by Gilda Pervin" is an exhibition of
sculpture by artist Gilda Pervin, recipient of a 1993 Artists' Fellowship from
the New York Foundation for the Arts. Pervin describes her work as "slices of
domestic interiors." There are five freestanding floor and wall segments which
incorporate domestic objects such as lamps, vases, clocks, shelves, and frames.
The works that she has created respond to the life and work of American artist
Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967) as revealed in her research of his art and
writings. Two examples of Burchfield designed wallpapers from the Center's
permanent collection that Pervin used as references for her interiors accompany
the exhibition. Rental Fee: $500 (includes wall text, lables, and return
shipment; venue is responsible for incoming shipping; the Center will also
provide a smaple press release and photos for use in publicity).
"Roycroft Desktop" focuses on the application of the Arts and Crafts aesthetic
to the design of objects in work and study. The exhibition presents 253
examples of Roycroft production for library and study areas for homes and
businesses. Five vignettes of "Roycroft Desktop" include desks, tables,
chairs, bookcases, and desk accessories such as inkpots, letter openers, pen
trays, bookends, candlesticks, and framed mottos. The evolution of Roycroft
design from a utilitarian craftsman style to a more articulated Arts and Crafts
manner and early modern influences is illustrated through object surveys of
bookends, desk sets, letter openers, and inkpots. Rental Fee: $6,000 (includes
50 catalogs, wall text, two introductory panels, 4 banners, and 14 photographic
enlargments, and retrun shipment).
Additional information is available by mail or fax about space, insurance, and
