SUMMARY:Plug In ICA Launches Two New Solo Exhibitions with Angie Keefer and Fred Sandback
DESCRIPTION:Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art is extremely pleased to announce the launch of our winter program with two solo exhibitions by acclaimed American artists Angie Keefer and Fred Sandback. Keefer is known for her complex portrayal of art and economics and Sandback is historically renowned for his perceptual sculpture made from simple means in command of light and space. These presentations mark their first solo exhibitions in Canada. The exhibition launches with an artist talk by Angie Keefer on Thrusday\, January 19 at 7pm\, an opening reception on Friday\, January 20 at 7pm\, and a walk-through of Sandback’s exhibition by Amavong Panya on Saturday\, January 21 at 3pm.  \nAngie Keefer\nFIRST CLASS\, SECOND THOUGHTS\, INTERMINABLE SWELL\n\n FIRST CLASS\, SECOND THOUGHTS\, INTERMINABLE SWELL is an exhibition of new work by Angie Keefer\, an artist admired for her deep discursive engagement in the visual arts. Her work moves between design and publishing\, writing\, performance\, installation\, and teaching\, and is often unsettled in its reflexive linking of symbolic or material form with the fluctuating activity of financial and knowledge markets.\n\nThree new works are presented as a unified exhibition divided among two distinct spaces\, separating the viewer’s experiences as witness and performer. FIRST CLASS\, SECOND THOUGHTS\, INTERMINABLE SWELLoccupies Plug In ICA’s exhibition breezeway on a monitor wall and our street front gallery\, which Keefer turns into a production studio and showroom. These complex works capture and project the image of their audience\, implicating viewers in a historic trajectory leading towards the contemporary\, commercial delineation of first class status. \n\n\nAngie Keefer is an artist\, writer\, teacher\, and publisher\, though the distinctions among these categories are much less definitive in Keefer’s work than comma-separated terms would indicate. Taking an interest in the incidental aspects of art making and its dissemination—from critical & commercial positioning through language\, to surrounding labour\, and shifting market forces—Keefer exposes and pushes at the seams of that which holds the enterprise together. She has exhibited extensively in the USA as well as Europe and South America. Recent exhibitions include Greater New York\, PS1\, New York (2015-16); Kunstverein Munich (2015); Whitney Biennial\, New York (2014); Objectif Exhibitions\, Antwerp (2013-14); and Yale Union\, Portland (2013). Keefer has also worked with various organizations to stage performances\, talks\, seminars\, and other series\, including Artists Space\, New York (2015); Liverpool Biennial (2014); Contemporary Art Centre (CAC)\, Vilnius (2014\, 2011); Mercosul Biennial\, Porto Alegre\, Brazil (2013); Witte de With\, Rotterdam (2013); São Paulo Biennial\, Brazil (2012); and The Museum of Modern Art\, New York (2012)\, among others. Her writing has recently appeared in Mousse\, Harvard Design Magazine\, and Bulletins of The Serving Library. \n\nRELATED PROGRAMS: \nThursday\, January 19 | 7:00pm: Artist Talk by Angie Keefer\nThursday\, February 16 | 7:00pm: Respondent Series: Talk by Evelyn Forget\nThursday\, March 16 | 7:00pm: Respondent Series: Artist Talk by Howie Chen \n\n\nThis exhibition is sponsored in part by Video Pool Media Arts Centre\, Winnipeg. \nFred Sandback\nA Sampling of Works\n\n\n\nIt is difficult to describe Fred Sandback’s artworks as they contain an energy that is generated from the simplest of means and most minimal of gestures to the most maximal effects. Sandback leaves the object behind to draw in space. Using ordinary store bought materials in a seemingly minimal and precise manner\, he redefines our experience of space. Most commonly\, he uses acrylic yarn to draw lines that articulate space\, delineating volume in otherwise empty rooms\, over ostensibly bare walls from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. He exposes what is already there seemingly giving definition to air. \nHis exhibition for Plug In is a sampling of this sculptural practice that includes both vertical and horizontal pieces that stretch from floor to ceiling\, across walls\, and in straight and diagonal lines. The artist’s use of colour adds an emotional vibrancy as line\, shape\, and energy reveal themselves gradually within the viewer’s perceptual encounter. \nFred Sandback (1943-2003) exhibited internationally from 1968 when his first solo shows were held at Galerie Konrad Fischer\, Düsseldorf\, and Galerie Heiner Friedrich\, Munich\, while the artist was still a graduate student pursuing his MFA at the Yale School of Art and Architecture. The Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein\, Vaduz\, organized an extensive survey in 2005\, which traveled to the Fruitmarket Gallery\, Edinburgh\, and the Neue Galerie am Joanneum\, Graz\, in 2006. In 2011\, his work was featured in a solo exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery\, London\, and the same year the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Denver\, dedicated its entire building to a solo exhibition. In 2014\, the Kunstmuseum Winterthur\, Switzerland hosted a major retrospective of his drawings that subsequently traveled to the Josef Albers Museum\, Bottrop and Museum Wiesbaden\, Germany. The Pulitzer Art Foundation\, St. Louis\, mounted an exhibition from May to September 2015. There are numerous publications on his work\, the most recent in 2016 documenting Fred Sandback: Light\, Space\, Facts at The Glenstone Foundation\, Potomac\, Md.  Aspects: Fred Sandback’s Sculptures by Edward A. Vazquez will be published by the University of Chicago Press in 2017.   Sandback’s sculpture is represented in numerous museum collections internationally and is on permanent view at Dia:Beacon\, New York. His estate is represented by David Zwirner\, New York/London and a complete exhibition history and bibliography is available online at www.fredsandbackarchive.org. \n\n\nRELATED PROGRAMS: \nSaturday\, January 21 | 3:00pm: Exhibition Tour by Amavong Panya\nSunday\, February 26 | 11:00am: Cat’s Cradle – a children’s workshop lead by Hannah Doucet\nDate to be determined | Respondent Series: Talk by Edward A. Vazquez \n\nThis exhibition and related programs are generously sponsored by Michael Nesbitt.\n \nFull length exhibition texts are available on plugin.org \n\nPlug In ICA gratefully acknowledges the continued support of the Canada Council for the Arts\, the Manitoba Arts Council and Winnipeg Arts Council. We would also like to acknowledge the support of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for their contribution to our artistic programs.

SUMMARY:Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art presents: Interpreting [Interrupting] Youth\, Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, March 22nd\, Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art is pleased to present a short screening and panel with the participants of Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art’s inaugural Interpreting [Interrupting] Youth program. \nFor this screening Birehanu Bishaw\, Victor Ilunga\, Brandon McPherson and Tessa Stewart will present a short interpretive video produced by them in collaboration with Plug In ICA\, Just TV and the Broadway Neighborhood center. The video is a visual reflection of the youth’s collective and individual experience of the two exhibitions currently on display at Plug In ICA: Angie Keefer’s FIRST CLASS\, SECOND THOUGHTS\, INTERMINABLE SWELL and Fred Sandback’s Sampling of Works\, as well as aspects of Plug In ICA’s permanent collection and architectural space. The evening begins with a casual reception at 4:30pm\, followed by a screening and panel at 5:30pm. Everyone welcome. \nInterpreting [Interrupting] Youth is designed for youth ages 16 to 24. The program reverses a pre-existing interpretive model used within arts institutions who often produce short videos as educational devices. These videos often include interviews with artists or curators\, images of artworks and installation shots; they often reference artists’ biographies\, previous artworks\, and at times\, glimpse into artists’ studios. These videos are usually presented online or within the gallery or museum in close proximity to the artworks\, and tend to place an emphasis on the artist’s and institution’s intention over the experience of the viewer. \nThe “Interpreting [Interrupting] Youth” program inversely begins with the youth’s experience of the artwork\, challenging conventional models of art interpretation by overturning basic roles of authority and authorship. \n\nNext session begins April 8th\, 2017. For more information about this and other education programs\, please contact Sarah Nesbitt at sarah@plugin.org. For general information please contact: info@plugin.org or call 1.204.942.1043. \nPlug In ICA extends our heartfelt gratitude to our generous donors\, valued members\, and dedicated volunteers. You make a difference. \nWe gratefully acknowledge the Manitoba Arts Council and Winnipeg Arts Council. We thank the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for their support of our 2016 and 2017 program\, as well as Wawanesa Insurance for the direct support of our youth programs. \nPlug In ICA relies on community support to remain free and accessible to all\, and enable us to continue to present excellent programs.
