SUMMARY:Fall Exhibition | Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs |
DESCRIPTION:Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art is eager to announce the opening of our fall exhibition\, Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs.Structured around general notions of indexing\, collecting\, cloaking and the reveal with a focus on material and an overlay of poetry – the exhibition is grounded in the use of text\, often found\, poetry\, and the everyday\, with historical and political narratives interwoven as material\, including the popular Black cultural magazine Jet in Theaster Gates’s work Do I Know You\, 2017; the Haitian Declaration of Independence in Liberté ou la morte by Fabiola Carranza; strip mall signage in Ken Lum’s 117 Dwight Eisenhower Blvd; and in recently uncovered medieval graffiti in All Saints Bench\, 2018 by Shannon Bool. \nNatalie Czech\, Hassan Khan\, and Sylvia Matas present language using banal everyday signifiers: magazine print ads\, LED signage\, or newspaper clippings\, which they parse into poetic and political gestures. Jeanne Randolph\, and Sameer Farooq and Jared Stanley activate collections through ficto-criticism (Randolph) and speculative museums (Farooq and Stanley)\, and Leah Decter\, like Carranza\, excavates language from the archive of her maternal grandfather’s ship’s manifest coming in to Canada in her woven work\, (through)line(age) 1779-1925-2013\, 2013. As part of the exhibition Raven Chacon begins a new book project in dedication to the life of Zitkála-Šá\, an early 20th century Yankton Dakota woman that will be comprised of twelve musical scores dedicated to twelve contemporary Indigenous women “working in the field of contemporary music performance or composition.” \nThe exhibition is to be read as one moves through it. Through a paring of objects and texts\, how histories are captured and presented surface in prosaic terms\, but carry the weight of history’s missteps and misrepresentations. \n– Curated by Sarah Nesbitt and Jenifer Papararo

SUMMARY:Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art co-presents with the School of Art\, University of Manitoba and hosted by the Winnipeg Art Gallery | Artist Talk by Ken Lum
DESCRIPTION:As part of our fall exhibition Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs\, Plug In ICA is fortunate to welcome Ken Lum\, one of the exhibiting artists\, to Winnipeg. In collaboration with the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the School of Art\, University of Manitoba\, Lum will be presenting a talk covering the scope of his multi-decade oeuvre. \nA frequent writer\, artist\, and educator\, Lum recently described\, “it is through art that I am constantly challenged to understand the world and my place within it\, even if that place is one that I am not entirely at home in.” He declared this sentiment in an essay comparing his experiences as a resident of the United States to his life growing up in Canada where he began his career as an artist. In many respects\, this assertion fittingly doubles as an undergirding principle to every image\, object or monument he has imagined and put out into the world. If one’s self-examination becomes heightened with a shift in a sense of place and geography\, then it is with this same grasp of self in tandem with a social one that becomes the thriving pulse for Lum’s work as an artist\, educator\, and individual.  \nWith a long career like Lum’s\, it feels superfluous to reiterate his immeasurable achievements but needless to say\, Lum is one of Canada’s most essential artists living today. Though he is currently making home in Philadelphia as the chair of Fine Arts at University of Pennsylvania’s School of Art & Design\, his resonance continues to be intertwined within contemporary art dialogue being generated in Canada. Lum’s public works across major metropolitan cities in Canada remain iconic markers not only for a cities’ cultural identity but illuminate the nation’s historical memory. His work is taught as part of art history curriculums at universities across the country and he continues to be an indispensible artist among prominent cultural institutions throughout the world. Lum is currently the chief curatorial advisor for Monument Lab; a city-wide public art and architectural exhibition in Philadelphia. In Winnipeg his work is on exhibit at the Winnipeg Art Gallery as part of the 80s Image and at Plug In ICA as part of Days of Reading. He will be conducting a seminar at the School of Art\, University of Manitoba. \nRelated exhibit:  \n\nDays of Reading
