The discussion pivots on three questions, with each presenter rotating the role of provocateur - to invite meaningful conversation about the nature (and future) of institutional practices. This event is just one of many events that will take place throughout the city from June 13th to 16th as part of the Atlantic Provincial Art Gallery Association Conference. The conference is co-organized by The Rooms with Eastern Edge Artist-Run Centre, St. Michael's Printshop, and Grenfell Gallery (Memorial University). The event is free to the public.
