Hello Everyone,
This week was one of the toughest we have endured together since COVID hit. The impact of the pandemic on the AGO’s operations, unfortunately, has meant that we have had to say good-bye (for now) to some of our colleagues and friends. These are all good people who have done nothing wrong. I am truly grateful for their contributions to the AGO. This is hard, hard, hard.
Many of our behind-the-scenes staff were involved this week with the Haegue Yang, Michael Belmore and Mary Heister Reid installations. I had the pleasure of touring one of the exhibition supporters through the Haegue Yang exhibition. It was a joy for me to see her family’s excitement about the beauty of the show. The art is extraordinary and I believe our public will enjoy it very much.
To support our ongoing efforts in Diversity & Inclusion, here is this week’s reading below, do take the time to read it and continue your learning journey:
Let’s all focus on staying safe, and getting through this period to help the AGO thrive again.
Thank you. Take care,
Stephan
