Exclusive | Hito Steyerl: This is the future
Hito Steyerl is often heralded as creating art for our times. She blends the personal with the political and irony with seriousness as she investigates how images are created, packaged and consumed in the digital age. The New York Times describes her work as “…politics served up with appealing, accessible pop-culture aesthetics, sardonic humor and the odd four-letter word. Visitors might leave pondering exploitation, dancing to a disco tune from the soundtrack, or both.”
Exclusive | Early Rubens
Early Rubens explores one of the most influential artists in Western art history. It focuses on Rubens’ early work following his return from Italy to his hometown of Antwerp, and his rise to international prominence. This exhibition celebrates Rubens at his most exuberant, and showcases the bold and theatrical style for which he was renowned. The centrepiece of the exhibition is the AGO’s magnificent Massacre of the Innocents, one of the artist’s crowning achievements.
Exclusive: Brian Jungen
Brian Jungen is one of today’s most renowned artists. Born in British Columbia, Jungen draws from his family’s Dane-zaa and Swiss heritage. He repurposes everyday objects from contemporary culture to create compelling works that embody an Indigenous way of making and knowing. This will be the largest solo exhibition of his work to date.
Exclusive: Vija Celmins: To Fix the Image in Memory
One of today’s leading artists, Vija Celmins seeks to understand the limits of human experience through her paintings and drawings. The ocean, desert, and night sky are subjects that appear repeatedly in her work – rendered in muted tones and exploring the uninhabitable and an unbounded beauty.
