Hello volunteers! Holly, here – I discovered just this morning (Thursday) that our volunteer database is being impacted by a technical issue (our database is hosted by a third-party provider), that is restricting our ability to email many of our volunteers. We’re postponing tonight’s talk with Janne, so that we can ensure she has the audience she deserves – and we’re really looking forward to launching this series at a future date when our communications are secure. For those of you that did log this date in your calendar, Barbara Glaser, Volunteer President, and myself will be online at 5:30pm for a little volunteer social. So, if you’re missing us as much as we are missing you in this time, log on via Zoom, same details below – see you at 5:30pm.
Hello volunteers! We are thrilled to invite you to an exclusive AGO Volunteers Artist Talk with AGO Gallery Guide Janne Reuss. Janne is exhibiting in The Artist Project, opening next weekend, April 11 – 14, in Toronto and we thought this would be a great way to celebrate Janne’s work, excitement, and achievement with fellow volunteers!

About Artist Janne Reuss:
Janne Reuss was born and raised in Mexico City and is currently based in Toronto, Canada. She has been a professional practicing artist for more than two decades, having lived, worked and exhibited her artwork in Mexico, United States, Germany, Italy and Canada — including five solo shows and numerous group exhibitions. She studied Fine Arts at the Academy of Art & Design in Stuttgart, Germany and History of Art in Mexico.
Her preferred media are photography and collage, but she also paints, often cycling fluidly between the three techniques. A constant theme in Janne’s work is her interest in human nature and how memories and experiences are imprinted deep inside of us.
In 2020/2021 Janne participated in residencies at Akin X Collision Gallery and Akin Studio Program Auto BLDG at MOCA, the former culminating in her most important solo exhibition so far: Rewriting the Story, a series of over 20 overpainted photomontages.

We’re really grateful for the opportunity to connect during this time when the Gallery is closed. A big thank you to Janne, from Volunteer President Barbara Glaser & myself. We hope you can join us! – Holly Procktor, Volunteer Resources
