PEMcast 028 - Drawn to Place


Listen Later

This episode of the PEMcast looks at what makes some places magnetic. Libraries, museums, certain cultural experiences. Why are we drawn to them? We talk with Canadian artist Shelagh Keeley about her current exhibition at PEM, as well as PEM Curators Trevor Smith and Karina Corrigan. We also look at our Japanese collection, which partly inspired a massive wall drawing by Keeley, and the collector who started it, Edward Sylvestor Morse. PEM's Director Lynda Roscoe Hartigan shares her thoughts on Morse, who led PEM in the 19th century, and where the museum is headed today. Shelagh Keeley: Drawn to Place is on view through November 26, 2023.
