Grounding: In Celebration of The Rooms 20th Anniversary
The architecture of The Rooms is based on a concept proposed by lead architect Philip Pratt in the early 1990s. As Pratt envisioned, it is more than a building鈥攊t reflects Newfoundland and Labrador鈥檚 landscapes, history, and cultures. Marking The Rooms 20th anniversary, the ideas behind this building鈥檚 architecture act as touchstones for exploring artistic expression in this province. Pratt鈥檚 design reminds us that while a place is shaped by its past, it is constantly redefined by the creativity and actions of its peoples. Bringing together some of the most beloved artworks from The Rooms collections, this exhibition considers how our surroundings and structures shape what has been valued, preserved, and shared by our communities.
