Efforts to raise money for an Infinity Mirror Room at the Art Gallery of Ontario are being stepped up.
The AGO is now partnering with a global campaign known as Giving Tuesday, which encourages charity-giving on the Tuesday following U.S. Thanksgiving, which is this coming Tuesday.
The gallery has also revealed that the room it will buy is a replica of a larger-than-average piece by artist Yayoi Kusama currently at a Chicago pop-up museum.
Titled Let’s Survive Forever, it includes reflective steel balls and a mirrored column that itself contains a small Infinity Mirror Room.
AGO spokesperson Lisa Clements says the gallery is locked into a deal to buy the room, regardless of how the month-long fundraising campaign ends a week from today.
Last spring’s exhibition, Yayoi Kusama; Infinity Mirrors, drew close to 170,000 visitors to the AGO.
