Excursions

The following events have been arranged for the members attending the IAWIS conference, who RSVPed by July 31, 2005. The Fairmount Park Tour and the Mural Arts Tour will be by trolley car departing from 36th and Walnut streets at 10 AM for the Mural Arts Tour and at 1 PM for the Park tour. There is no cost for these excursions but space is limited, particularly in the case of the Barnes Foundation, and a reservation is needed for each activity.

Mural Arts Tour led by Jane Golden, Director of the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program.
10 AM Sunday September 25, 2005

The mural tour should take approximately two hours, so that conference participants will be able to participate in the Fairmount Park excursion as well, if desired.
departing from 36th and Walnut Streets

The Mural Arts Program began in 1984 as a city-wide initiative to eradicate destructive graffiti and address neighborhood blight. There are now more than 2,000 murals in the city of Philadelphia. Jane Golden, the first artist hired and now Director of the program, will focus the tour on murals that incorporate text and image.

“When people encounter a mural, they experience it first as an impressive work of art. But soon, they begin to ask questions: who created this, why is it here, how was it made? They sense the story behind the mural and want to know more about it.

To help answer people's questions, the Mural Arts Program developed a mural tour program in 1998. Led by Jane Golden, artist, and founder of the Mural Arts Program, this tour offers a "behind the scenes" look at how murals are made. Filled with anecdotes and stories as well as information about methods and costs, the tours leave people with a deeper appreciation for the complexities of mural making, and more important, with "’a renewed faith that art still has the power to transform lives.’"

For additional information on Mural Arts in Philadelphia please visit the website at http://www.muralarts.org/.

Fairmount Park Tour led by John Dixon Hunt, founder and senior editor of Word & Image.
1 PM Sunday, September 25, 2005
departing from 36th and Walnut Streets

Fairmount Park was incorporated in 1867 to preserve and enhance the land and its various villas and their landscapes on either side of the Schuylkill River, which had deteriorated considerably by then as a result of industrial activity along its banks. It is now the largest open space parkland in an American city.

We shall probably tour - without having time to stop and visit – the Waterworks (from 1812 the earliest American complex for providing citizens with fresh water), the Art Museum established in the 1920 and its gardens to the north, a handful of the surviving villas that graced the eastern side of the river, and Laurel Hill Cemetery, one of the earliest American “rural cemeteries”. If time allows we shall cross to the western side to see the site and remains of the 1876 International Exhibition and the Japanese House and Garden, the installation of which maintained the international flavor of that event; also the Philadelphia Zoo, the oldest in the country, established on the site of John Penn’s Solitude (still surviving). At least one or two other experts on the rich history of Fairmount Park will join us to help guide everybody around.

The tour will last approximately two hours.

For additional information on Fairmount Park please refer to the website http://www.phila.gov/fairpark/history.

The Barnes Foundation (http://www.barnesfoundation.org/)
10:00 AM Sunday September 25, 2005
2:00 PM Sunday September 25, 2005

A gem among Philadelphia museums, the Barnes Foundation was established in 1922 by Albert C. Barnes. The depth of the private collection is stunning: with over 60 works each by Matisse and Cézanne alone, it contains over 9,000 works – among them, masterpieces of French Modern and Post-Impressionist art by painters such as Rousseau, Renoir, Monet, Gauguin, Degas, and Seurat, as well as fine examples of African art and folk art. The Gallery, completed in1925, was designed by French architect Paul Philippe Cret. The building features specially commissioned bas-reliefs by Jacques Lipchitz and a mural by Matisse. Barnes, who had made a sizeable fortune in medical pharmaceuticals, passionately believed in the progressive educational value of aesthetics and was influenced by his readings of John Dewey, George Santayana, and William James. His arrangements of the art in his suburban Merion gallery express his synthetic and experimental ideas. Fine arts and decorative arts from a variety of cultures and periods are placed side by side in “wall pictures.” Objects speak for themselves and with one another, without the customary intermediary of textual captions (even the dates and titles of paintings are omitted).

In 2004, the Barnes Foundation was given the controversial go-ahead to move to a Center City Location in Philadelphia. We encourage conference participants to reserve tickets for an opportunity to experience the collection in its original, purpose-built architectural context.

Reservations have been made for IAWIS members, at 10:00 AM and at 2:00 PM Sunday, September 25, 2005. Transportation to and from the museum will be arranged.
