One day of mourning David Bowie is not enough. His music and performances are too important to let him go. As such, I’ve downloaded as many GIFs as possible from the animated GIF show Lorna Mills curated for the Art Gallery of Ontario’s 2013 “David Bowie is” exhibition .

“David Bowie is,” GIF Installation: Alex McLeod, Claudia Maté, Lorna Mills, Rea McNamara w/Isabella Brathwaite, Georges Jacotey, Dafna Ganani, Gaby Cepeda, Anthony Antonellis, Sarah Weis, Yoshi Sodeoka, Andrew Benson, Rodell Warner, Luc Hyo Myoung Kim, Mattie Hillock, Max Capacity, Eva Papamargariti, Sep 25 – Nov 27, Art Gallery of Ontario, Canada
