Half Off Rental Fees for TCLF Exhibitions
Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, TCLF is proud to offer a one-time $1000 booking fee (plus two way travel) for its celebrated traveling exhibition on the work of pioneering landscape architect Lawrence Halprin.
The Landscape Architecture of Lawrence Halprin
Organized on the 100th anniversary of the year of Halprin’s birth, this exhibition highlights thirty of his landscapes with fifty-seven newly commissioned photographs. Halprin’s prolific career spanned more than five decades, with highlights that include the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial (Washington, D.C.), Freeway Park (Seattle, WA), and the Portland Open Space Sequence (Portland, OR).
Discounted rental rates for traveling exhibitions about Dan Kiley and Oehme, van Sweden are also available. These two critically-acclaimed traveling photographic exhibitions – The Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley and The New American Garden: The Landscape Architecture of Oehme van Sweden, organized and curated by TCLF, can be rented at a rate of $2,500 each (plus two way travel), reduced from $5,000 thanks to a generous anonymous gift.
All the exhibitions feature newly commissioned and contemporary photographs of dozens of significant public and private landscapes, explanatory text panels and wall labels with site plans. In addition, TCLF has created companion websites for the exhibitions that include additional photography, written recollections from colleagues, and other material, as well as gallery guides, which can be purchased in print format or downloaded free of charge in PDF format from TCLF’s website.
The exhibitions have been hosted at notable institutions and universities across the country including the National Building Museum, Chicago Architecture Foundation, New York Center for Architecture, A+D Museum in Los Angeles, and many others. CELA members such as Boston Architectural College, University of Colorado at Denver, University of California at Berkeley, and the University of Virginia have also played host to these exhibitions. These exhibitions have received critically positive notices within the landscape architecture community, and from major media outlets including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and others.
The exhibitions are flexible to allow for universities to create complementary programming including symposia, lectures, etc., that offer rich experiences for students, faculty, visitors, alumnae and others.
Finally, TCLF has created video oral histories with Lawrence Halprin and James van Sweden, part of a larger body of oral histories that University of Virginia Professor Elizabeth Meyer considers vital primary source material. The oral histories include sections on design theory and built projects that can be viewed in the classroom or on monitors as part of the exhibition.
MORE ABOUT THE EXHIBITS
The Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley
Created in 2012 in honor of the centennial of Kiley’s birth, this exhibition and features forty-five vibrant photographs that chronicle the current state of twenty-seven of Kiley’s more than 1,000 projects worldwide. Each of these entries features newly commissioned photography, a history of the project, recollections by contemporary landscape architects, and the current "status" and "visibility" rating for Kiley's association with the project (ratings for public projects only).
The New American Garden: The Landscape Architecture of Oehme, van Sweden
The exhibition's creation was timed to the 25th anniversary of the influential 1990 book Bold Romantic Gardens, which the two business partners wrote with Susan Rademacher, former executive director of the Louisville Olmsted Parks Conservancy, Inc., and currently the parks curator at the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy. There are fifty-two contemporary and newly commissioned photographs of twenty-one important residential, civic, and commercial projects that reveal the breadth of their horticulturally exuberant designs.
