Hello Everyone,
Dr. Julie Crooks is looking forward to presenting the upcoming exhibition Fragments of Epic Memory. It is a bold exhibition that draws on the AGO’s Montgomery Collection of Caribbean photography as well as contemporary art from the Caribbean Diaspora. It will be a beautiful and groundbreaking exhibition, opening in September. I know an entire team of staff from various departments are working hard on the exhibition and I just want to say Thank You.
Did you know the AGO is partnering with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the National Ballet of Canada for our Virtual School Programs? Or that the AGO has partnered with the Tate Modern, London, and the Museum Ludwig, Cologne to collaborate on the upcoming Andy Warhol exhibition? Or that as part of the 25thanniversary of the CONTACT Photography Festival, there is a Zoom talk this month on the topic of queer photography? The AGO is working in innovative ways to share the power of art through cultural partnerships and our online platforms. If you haven’t visited www.ago.ca lately, take a moment to check out what is happening now and upcoming in the weeks ahead.
Finally, the beautiful spring weather is here. I will be taking as many long walks as I can this weekend. I know we’ve all been doing a lot of walking lately – there’s not much else to do! – but now we get to bask in the sunshine. Let’s all make the most of it!
Take care and stay safe,
Stephan
