We're not into crafting identities. Artists are into raising interesting questions and generating dialogues that are interesting. Our role is to bring those artworks that have these questions in them to the public space. The National Gallery does not, and I think should never, have an opinion in those questions and dialogues.
If there is a Canadian identity being crafted, being questioned or being improved on, or however you want to say it, by artists and Canadians across the country, then wonderful. That's going to transpire through the art. It should not transpire through us.
