Hello Everyone,

• On Wednesday night, I gave a public talk, which was an interview with Sean O’Neill. If you have an hour to kill, here is the link:

• I met a number of volunteers this week who are making sure our benefit reception at Art Toronto and the Mystical Landscapes Gala will be successful. These significant fundraising events wouldn’t be possible without their support.

• I am excited about the re-installation process and the opportunities for art in new spaces. I see this process unfolding within the next 18 months, so big changes will happen quite soon.

• If you haven’t had a chance to experience Luminato yet, I encourage you to visit the Hearn. Pierre Huyghe’s statue with a beehive head is remarkable. With 10,000 bees, don’t go if you are allergic!

• I had a meeting with Visitor Experience staff and we have started to get the ball rolling for re-configuring GG Hall. It will be ready for the opening of Mystical Landscapes.

• I’m just getting started, but I have an Instagram account. Please follow me at @stephanjostago and see what you think!

Thank you,

Stephan
