In his hands, the hood of a bright red lawnmower becomes the body of a razor-jawed sea creature with the addition of two light bulbs as beaming eyes. And by pushing buttons and turning cranks, Gerberich invites audiences to set works in motion. Please contact the Berkshire Museum for fee and installation information. Gerberich can also be scheduled to conduct workshops for children, families, and adults for an additional fee. 22 for additional information.
Pipes attached to the pallets hold rope that protects the installations from the public.
Each installation includes either a box containing a photographer's darkroom timer or crank. Viewers can press a button or hand crank a wheel to bring Gerberich's work to motion. An introduction with signage on a pallet provides an overview of the exhibition and Gerberich's background. In addition, a ten by thirteen foot black and white photomural of Gerberich in his studio provides an inside look at the artist's workspace. A series of Gerberich quotes hang throughout the exhibit designed to focus visitors on the artist's thought process.
