In late August, 13 employees at the Wexner Center signed on to a letter sent to university officials in which they expressed a vote of no confidence in the leadership of executive director Gaëtane Verna.
And before anyone go berserk about destroying art:
"The artwork was covered with protective glass. The MMFA said in a statement to Hyperallergic that the paint used in the protest was water-based and that staff found “no immediate signs of damage to the painting.”
And remember: fire and climate crisis will destroy A LOT more art than a few activists will.
"Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, a groundbreaking visual artist, curator, and activist, died on Friday, January 24, at her home in Corrales, New Mexico, at the age of 85.
As part of a generation of Indigenous artists who tirelessly worked to “break the ‘buckskin ceiling'” in the art world, Smith is known for a prolific arts practice that merged piercing humor and profound socio-political commentary with poetic depictions of Native American life."
