Hello Everyone,

This week, while a crew is busy installing I am Here: Home Movies and Everyday Masterpieces at the AGO, there are two international exhibitions on view connected to the AGO: Diane Arbus: Photographs, 1956-1971 at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, where Sophie Hackett attended the opening; and the Whitney Museum of Art, which features work by Denyse Thomasos. The art of Thomasos was introduced to the curator at the Whitney the other year by Renée van der Avoird, and now is showcased in this year’s Biennial.

These are two very good examples of the AGO leading global conversations. Below is an installation shot from the Arbus show in Denmark and a picture of Georgiana Uhlyarik and Sally Frater in front of a large work by Thomasos.

Also – we are pleased to welcome back the volunteer Gallery Guides to the galleries this month! Look out for Gallery Guides featuring new “Let’s Chat” lapel buttons and floor dots. Gallery Guides will be engaging visitors between 1-3pm daily, and 6-8pm on Wednesdays and Fridays, through a program coordinated by our Education and Programming Division.

Take care and stay safe,

Stephan
