SUMMARY:Summer Institute II: Wendy Book Club with Walter Scott & Niki Little | Public Events
DESCRIPTION:For the July 2017 session of Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art’s Summer Institute\, Walter Scott and Niki Little co-facilitate the Wendy Book Club from July 14 to August 4\, 2017. Taking Wendy (2014) and Wendy’s Revenge (2016) as their point of departure\, they will use these texts to investigate satire as a strategy for self-reflection and cultural critique\, marginalized narratives\, and the subjectivities of artist\, queer\, non-artist\, Indigenous\, etc. Perceptions of the public and private world of the artist and representations of the art world will be discussed and “dispelled” through Wendy’s perspective. \nWhile moving conceptually through the books\, participants will also engage in a constellation of activities reflective of the concerns of their fictional characters. This may take the form of yoga\, meditation exercises\, and the exploration of esoteric practices such as tarot reading. Throughout the three weeks\, “The Wendy Book Club” will take up the specific formal elements that comprise the graphic novel\, expanding knowledge about comics and comic making. Scott and Little will additionally invite guest artists\, and speakers with specific Indigenous-related knowledge\, while also allowing ample studio time to reflect on the understandings generated as a group. \n\nPublic events:\n \nFriday\, July 21 | 7pm\nWendy’s Revenge Performance by Walter Scott \nTuesday\, July 25 | 7pm\nComing of Age as  a “Fake Nerd”\nArtist talk with Maya Ben David \nMonday\, July 31 | 10am\nCuratorial talk with Becca Taylor \nWednesday\, August 2 | 7pm\nArtist talk with Tau Lewis\n*More info to come \nThursday\, August 3 |4-8pm\nOpen Studio\n*More info to come \n\nFor more information\, including participant bios see: https://plugin.org/node/1250 \n\nRelated exhibit:\nWalter Scott\, Blinky Is Reading | June 12- September 04\, 2017

SUMMARY:Open Studio for Wendy Book Club
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, August 3\, 2017 from 4-8pm\, Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art hosts one day of open studios in celebration of the productive Wendy Book Club\, the second session of our Summer Institute research program facilitated by beloved artist\, writer and performer\, Walter Scott and diversely talented curator and artist Niki Little. For this event we have the honor of presenting work in process from fourteen thoughtful participants who have come from a range of disciplines\, backgrounds and locations within Canada to study for three weeks under the careful guidance of Scott and Little. \nUsing Scott’s graphic novels\, Wendy\, 2014and Wendy’s Revenge\, 2016 as a point of departure participants have engaged in activities reflective of the concerns of their fictional characters including yoga and astrological readings while thinking through satire as a strategy for self-reflection and cultural critique\, marginalized narratives\, and the subjectivities of artist\, queer\, non-artist\, Indigenous\, etc. Through a series of workshops with Scott and invited guests Maya Ben David\, Becca Taylor\, and Tau Lewis; an Indigenous art focused bike tour with Little\, and public discussions\, participants have been engaged in critical dialogue informing previously existing bodies of work and spurring new ones. \nJoin us for this opportunity to extend discussions\, which have been incubating within the Institute\, and conclude this wonderful three weeks of immersion. Some screenings and participant projects will run continuously through the duration of the evening\, which begins at 4pm. A short program of performances will begin at 7pm concluding the evenings program. Cash bar will be open\, everyone is welcome. \nParticipants of the Wendy Book Club Summer Institute\, Session II with Walter Scott and Niki Little: \nJoi T.
