Hello everyone,

This is the last week of the exhibition KAWS: Family. I will sincerely miss the show, but it must continue onto the next venue, which is Chrystal Bridges Museum in the US. I want to thank everyone who was involved in making this exhibition a success, and particularly give a shout-out to Julian Cox.

Yesterday the first piece of steel arrived for the Dani Reiss Modern and Contemporary Gallery – see images below. Once the foundation is complete, the building will start to be erected. The massing and scale of the structure will take shape once steelwork is done later this fall. There is a new banner over the Jackman Hall entrance that shows a rendering of the building.

I will be off for the next two weeks visiting family in Switzerland. My family comes from two small alpine towns, and it will be good to practice my Swiss-German!

Take care,

Stephan

P.S. To those of you who will be celebrating the richness of Caribbean culture this weekend – enjoy!
