ENGAGING EVENING Please join Darryn Doull, Curator of Canadian Art at The Rooms, for a closer look at the organization and planning of Boarder X (organized and circulated by the Winnipeg Art Gallery, curated by Jaimie Isaac) and a critical reflection upon the institutional significance of the exhibition and its programs. Darryn Doull is a curator, writer and musician based in St. John's, NL / Toronto, ON. His work often focusses on facilitating programs of Canadian art and visual culture that critically engage prevailing social, economic and political concerns. Across all projects, there is a priority to foster community toward a collectively articulated intersectional discourse. After receiving the Hnatyshyn Foundation Fogo Island Arts Emerging Curator Residency (2015), Doull completed the MVS: Curatorial Studies program at the University of Toronto (2018). Recent projects include Logan MacDonald: B?dut | Hidden Histories, Philippa Jones: Suspended and curatorial mentorship for Billy Gauthier: Saunituinnaulungitotluni | Beyond Bone (all 2019). He is the former Assistant Curator of the Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery (Sarnia, ON) and the current Curator of Canadian Art at The Rooms (St. John's, NL).
