Saturday, April 18 at 1pm: Lecture and book signing with Breuer House artist-in-residence, Tom Burr
Tom Burr’s Torrington Project, a major monograph dedicated to the artist’s 2021-24 landmark installation-studio-exhibition space of the same name, was published by Primary Information in August 2025.
Tom Burr (b. 1963 in New Haven, Connecticut) is an artist who lives and works in New York and Connecticut. He attended the School of Visual Arts and the Whitney Independent Study Program in New York. Burr’s work revisits the formal vocabulary of minimalism and post-minimalism, and explores themes of site specificity, queer subjectivities, and space. He has shown extensively throughout Europe and the Americas. Burr is a 2025 Guggenheim Fellow.
* Lectures are included with $15 PAAM admission, free for PAAM members
A Plein Air Painting Workshop
at the Hatch House, Wellfleet
Saturday, April 25, 1pm
Saturday, April 25 from 10-2pm: Plein Air Painting at the Hatch House
Join PAAM and the CCMHT for a day of painting and drawing at the historic Hatch House in Wellfleet. Perched on the edge of a kettle hole overlooking Cape Cod Bay, this experimental structure was designed by artist and architect Jack Hall in 1960 for Robert Hatch, editor of The Nation, and his wife Ruth, a painter. Now part of the National Seashore, it was restored by the Cape Cod Modern House Trust in 2013.
We’ll begin with a talk about the history of the house from CCMHT founder, Peter McMahon. Then you can choose to paint or draw from the outdoor deck of the house, or from the hill overlooking the landscape. In inclement weather, the class will be held inside the house. The house features floor to ceiling windows that look out onto the landscape and beyond to Cape Cod bay.
