Talks & Tours

pitch, slip: Opening and Artist Talk

Jun 22, 2023, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Please join us to celebrate the opening of pitch, slip, a new exhibition by RBC Emerging Artist in Residence, Alex Close.

Through her work, Close explores how our experiences in public spaces are shaped by our fragmented, layered, and ever-changing memories. From public performance venues to virtual reality, she is drawn to question engineered experiences and the role that trust plays in our day-to-day lives. This body of work is reflective of Close’s evolving approach to abstract painting and her bold embrace of experimentation in the RMG’s artist residency studio, which is supported by the RBC Foundation’s RBC Emerging Artist Project.

Refreshments will be served. Join us in the exhibition space at 7pm for a conversation between the artist and RMG Associate Curator, Hannah Keating.

Seating will be available. If there is anything else we can do to support your participation, please reach out to Hannah at [email protected].

Let us know you’re coming with an RSVP (not required, but encouraged).
