In the announcement of a group exhibition, Plug In ICA is eager to reveal “Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs” as the Fall exhibition. 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.

On Tuesday, November 13th 2018, Plug In ICA will kick off its second iteration of the STAGES Speaker Series in anticipation of STAGES 2019. With its conception in 2017, STAGES set out to activate the City of Winnipeg with temporary public sculpture and performances by nine international and local artists. The speaker series became a means of initiating and connecting the artists with local audiences, and introducing visiting artists to Winnipeg. Our first speaker in the 2019 STAGES Speakers Series is architect, builder, artist, and self-publisher Joar Nango.
