Production Diary: Laura Barrett with Martin Tielli at the AGO
October 6, 2009
The Art Gallery of Ontario spent more than $275 million on its recent design transformation. And the Group of 7 paintings are some of the most famous and valuable in the building. So how do you convince the AGO to let a motley crew of doc makers and music misfits romp around in there for an afternoon? You ask politely. (And then you pay them politely.) With limited time with both the location and the artists, director Peter Lynch and his crew did a little transforming of their own, turning the wide open spaces of the AGO into an impromptu stage for music magic.
