It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our beloved colleague and friend, Marina Vishmidt (1976 – 2024).

Marina served on W.A.G.E.’s board of directors from 2013 to 2016 but her involvement began years before, growing through the sharing of ideas on long threads of correspondence between New York and London. Pictured below with Richard Birkett at the 2014 Certification Summit at Cage in New York, Marina also participated in the 2015 WAGENCY Summit at May Day Rooms and the 2017 Artist’s Contract Summit at the ICA, both in London. Her singular and rigorous politics, indivisible from her mischievous wit, were crucial to the formation of our core programs. The great surplus of thought that was Marina’s contribution to W.A.G.E. will be felt for many years to come.
