Since Michel de la Chenelière, who chairs the museum’s board, terminated Bondil’s contract with allegations of a toxic workplace, colleagues and art lovers have sprung to her defence
Since de la Chenelière, who chairs the museum’s board, abruptly terminated Bondil’s contract Monday with allegations of a toxic workplace, colleagues and art lovers have sprung to her defence. Taken off guard by the shakeup, Quebec’s Minister of Culture Nathalie Roy ordered an independent report on the MMFA’s governance while the museum’s own members have signed a petition demanding the board explain its move.
Former MMFA director Nathalie Bondil says she was never shown report alleging unacceptable working conditions Stories in Quebec have tended to fixate on this appointment as the decisive break between the highly successful Bondil – floor space doubled; attendance tripled during her tenure – and an aggrieved board. Certainly, de la Chenelière’s complaints about an independent HR report that discovered bad blood in the curatorial department sound like stuff that should have been resolved backstage.
Still, it’s easy to believe that Bondil’s bold style might also be a problem. Donor Pierre Bourgie, who funded the museum’s concert hall, weighed in with an opinion piece this week saying she had weakened the working environment.
