Back outside with Pride
Happy Pride! To start off the month-long celebration, here are a few events from Toronto Pride’s schedule we’re excited about.
ICYMI: In constant inquiry
In case you missed it last November, we connected with Skarù:reˀ / Kanien’kehá:ka, Hodinöhsö:ni’ artist Greg Staats to discuss his exhibition, in constant return. Come and see it at the AGO before it closes on June 5.
Emerging curator Q&A with Tahnee Ann Macabali Pantig
For the final week of Museum Month we connected with first-time curator Tahnee Ann Macabali Pantig, who is making her debut with the AGO’s new exhibition Faith and Fortune: Art from Across the Global Spanish Empire.
Lasting presence
In light of the recent passing of Joey Tanenbaum, a passionate collector and long-time supporter of the AGO, we reflect on the art that he and his wife Toby have donated to the Gallery.
Brush ways
A new exhibition at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre in Toronto highlights a traditional painting style within the Japanese diaspora: Sumi-e.
On photography and jazz
As the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival continues across Toronto, we chat with the British curator and cultural historian Dr. Mark Sealy, about the work of Tyler Mitchell and Sunil Gupta.
On an Ultralight Beam
African-American artist Arthur Jafa’s visceral and emotive video collage – Love is the Message, the Message is Death, 2016 – is on view now at the AGO as part of I AM HERE.
Emerging Curator Q&A with Emilie Croning
Continuing our recognition of Museum Month, we connected with Emilie Croning, a Toronto-based independent curator, to learn more about her work with Wedge Curatorial Projects and Jorian Charlton’s debut showing at the AGO.
