Weekly Message from Our Director & CEO, Stephan Jost

Hello Everyone,

This week was another busy one at the AGO. A new video installation featuring the mesmerizing work of Ragnar Kjartansson opens today. The work is comprised of 7 large video screens in a circle and features two couples singing in unison, repeatedly, a sad song of beauty and love. It was acquired with the generous support of one of our trustees, Shabin Mohamed, and her husband Nadir. I am deeply grateful for their support and other donors who have helped enrich and grow our collection.

If you have been working (volunteering) from home for many months, I encourage you to book a ticket and come and see this exhibit and others. It is hard to be away from one another and the art we are so used to viewing together every day. Visit any time and be comforted by the fact that the AGO is open and our work goes on.

We are nearing Remembrance Day next Wednesday, November 11th. Let us never forget.

Stay safe and well, Stephan
