From Nov 26th to December 23rd, 2023, this extraordinary modern estate becomes an invite only canvas for a mesmerizing art exhibition by the renowned artist Marijan Gluhak, offering visitors a unique fusion of art and the unparalleled natural beauty of Great Barrington, MA.
Located just 2.5 hours north of NYC, 1 hour east of Albany, and 2.5 hours west of Boston, 250 Long Pond Road is not merely a destination; it is an enchanting retreat where the boundaries between the indoors and the outdoors blur, creating an immersive experience in the lap of nature.
This expansive property spans 120 private acres, offering an awe-inspiring medley of wilderness, from cliffs and springs to running and biking trails, stunning rock outcroppings, and a picturesque ¾ mile stretch of the Williams River. In every season of the year, this land offers a canvas of adventure and serenity.
The architectural masterpiece that is 250 Long Pond Road is the brainchild of the property owner, who collaborated with the esteemed local architect Stephen Haas. Their vision was to create an environment where nature’s magic seamlessly flows indoors. As you explore the three dwellings on this estate, including the main house, guest house, and a modern barn built in 2016, you will find yourself one with the natural gardens and landscapes. 250 Long Pond offers the ultimate in modern living and overlooking the mountains. Each space is thoughtfully designed to create a feeling of immersion in nature, where you can revel in the breath-taking surroundings.
THE ART EXHIBITION – MARIJAN GLUHAK “TIME POETRY”
At the heart of this magnificent estate lies the captivating art exhibition by Marijan Gluhak, entitled “Time Poetry.” The exhibition takes visitors on a contemplative journey through the memories of architecture, featuring sites from Gluhak’s native Croatia. Showcasing works from the “Time Poetry” and “Small Pieces of Life” series, the exhibition is a vivid expression of colorful and elegiac photographs that capture the quiet moments defined by human absence.
Glühak’s photography is a visual poetry of time, with images of doors ajar in abandoned spaces, sunlight streaming through windows, and objects quietly resting under beds and on chairs, speaking to the stories of places long since forgotten. His remarkable eye for color and grayscale, shadow and light, creates an evocative interplay of contrasting lines and textures that define the boundaries of architectural space in each carefully composed photograph.
This artistic journey evokes the spirit of celebrated painters such as Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth, capturing a visceral sense of mystery and romance deeply embedded in our notions of home. Gluhak’s “Small Pieces of Life” series elevates the mundane into ethereal portmanteaus, displaying artifacts that mark the passage of time. These objects tell the story of a simpler era, untouched by the modern alienation brought about by technology and its impact on society and human relationships.
The beauty of Gluhak’s art is greatly enhanced by the quiet, meditative rooms of 250 Long Pond Road, where the past and the present harmoniously coexist, allowing visitors to be transported to another time and place.
Join us at 250 Long Pond Road from Nov 26th to December 23rd 2023, for an immersive invite only experience that defies the boundaries of time and space. Witness the powerful connection between art, architecture, and nature in the serene beauty of Great Barrington.
