MIMI GOES TO PERTH

Known for her satirical characters and meticulously crafted fantasy worlds, Rachel Maclean has rapidly established herself as one of the most distinctive creative voices in the UK. Rachel Maclean’s explorations into politics, society and identity have never been more relevant and we are thrilled to announce that Rachel Maclean is bringing her uniquely dark vision to Perth High Street as the first project in our JUPITER+ offsite commission series.

After debuting a permanent version of Mimi at Jupiter Artland in 2021, Rachel Maclean has reconceived the artwork for Perth High Street, creating an immersive that will open to the public in October 2022. Although all details of project must remain under wraps for now, we are delighted to share a sneak peak of some of the talks, events and programmes that will unfold on Perth High Street this winter. We are also seeking expressions of interest from high schools, colleges, universities and community groups to sign-up to the JUPITER+ Free Learning Programme.

JUPITER + is our new off-site commissioning programme, which will see world-class artworks brought to locations and communities across Scotland. The programme is powered by the belief that everyone should have access to the best of international art at their doorstep and our mission to inspire the next generation of artists in Scotland.

Jupiter Artland is already home to an acclaimed learning programme delivering year-round opportunities for learners of all ages and welcoming over 30,000 individuals for free sessions at our home in rural West Edinburgh. JUPITER + seeks to expand the impact of this work by evolving a commissioning platform which will see some of the world’s most compelling and exciting artists bringing contemporary art into communities, classrooms and amplifying the voice of young people in the role culture plays in our lives as active citizens.
