Dear Mr. Hoone,

I am writing to express my support for Director of the Warehouse Gallery, Astria Suparak.

Astria is a curator whose work is followed, noticed and considered important, fresh and smart. I’d known of her work as a programmer years before we met in person, and as part of my own research as a programmer, she was one of the contemporaries whose work I looked toward, not just to stay current, but for new ways of looking at things I had seen before. Astria’s ability for presentation and fresh context make not just the works themselves accessible, but bigger thoughts and concepts as well.

The ability to assemble and present difficult and challenging work is a skill that I hope Warehouse Gallery will not overlook in Astria. Since so much of what we get from the art we see is what we make of it, progressive and visionary curators and gallery spaces is necessary.

I will continue to follow Astria’s work wherever she ends up; she is a professional whose work will continue to be of importance. It would seem a tragedy to the local community and to the esteem of your organization to lose her.

Sincerely,
Kendra Gaeta
