Remai Modern’s Former Director Removed From Harassment Complaint
Gregory Burke, the former director of Remai Modern in Saskatoon, tweeted his relief that a Canadian judge had suspended a harassment complaint made by a former staffer in 2015. Judge Brenda Hildebrandt ordered Burke’s name be removed from the complaint to the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission, writing that a 31-month-long investigation had resulted in “significant prejudice” against the director. Burke resigned from the Canadian museum last year and was due to take the helm of the Auckland Art Gallery in New Zealand, but withdrew from the post when the harassment allegation surfaced. “I look forward to resuming my career in 2020,” he tweeted.

Call for Submissions:
All for Water
UN-Water, an inter-agency of the United Nations, states that water is at the heart of adaptation to climate change, serving as the crucial link between the climate system, human society and the environment. They also estimate that by 2050 there will be insufficient freshwater for all the earth’s inhabitants.
Artists from across BC are invited to submit visual art, in any medium, that considers the global availability of freshwater and the health of our freshwater systems. This might include reflecting on threats (climate change, human impact, pollution, habitat fragmentation and invasive species), imagining a future without freshwater, or the social, economic and political change required to protect this resource for generations to come.
