Members Tour

A curatorial tour of our newest exhibition RAE PERLIN: WHATEVER
I WANTED WAS OUT THERE, IN THE WORLD, SOMEWHERE with exhibition
curator Mireille Eagan.

Rae Perlin (b. St. John’s, 1910-2006) compulsively recorded her
surroundings in sketchbooks and on scraps of paper as she travelled the
world. This survey of her prolific career places Perlin’s works in conversation
with artists such as Jean-Paul Riopelle, Maurice Cullen and many others.a

This tour is available to members only.
