As part of this year’s CONTACT Photography Festival, the AGO has invited renowned American conceptual artist Barbara Kruger to create a site-specific project for the front façade of the Gallery. Public installations of Kruger’s instantly recognizable graphic work have punctuated galleries, museums, municipal buildings, train stations, parks, buses and billboards around the world. Look for Kruger’s newest installation — outside the AGO, beginning May 1.
