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:Stages Speaker Series | Artist Talk by Joar Nango
DESCRIPTION:Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art presents:\nSTAGES Speaker Series: Artist talk by Joar Nango\n\nTuesday\, November 13th\, 2018 | 7 PM \nOff-site location: 227 McDermot Ave\, Winnipeg\, MB \n\n\n\nOn 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. \n\n\nOur first speaker in the 2019 STAGES Speakers Series is architect\, builder\, artist\, and self-publisher Joar Nango. Nango’s work often parses out the division between design\, architecture\, and visual art and uses improvisation as method and process. Belonging to the indigenous peoples from Sápmi\, the traditional territories of Sámi\, improvisation is a cultural disposition for several communities like his\, where the climate is merciless and resources are scarce. As such\, Nango’s sculptural practice is stirred by chance\, experimentation with localized raw materials\, DIY aesthetics\, and an in-tuned relationship to place. He creates actions and interventions; makeshift as well as permanent ones\, that ultimately add up to our knowledge and connectedness to the environment we stand and thrive on. \nA long proponent of printed matter and its political potential to mobilize larger social transformations\, Nango along with collaborators have fulfilled publication projects including The Indigenuity Project\, The Normadic Library and the self-published zine series Sámi Huksendáidda: the Fanzine. Nango has been part of a number of exhibition projects throughout Canada and elsewhere. Among which includes\, the Ottawa Art Gallery\, Vancouver’s Western Front\, Gallery Deluxe in Halifax\, and The National Museum of Art\, Architecture and Design in Oslo\, Norway and Sydhavn Station in Copenhagen\, Denmark. He recently presented European Everything at Documenta 14 in Athens and Kassel in 2017. \n\nUPCOMING [SAVE THE DATE] • Raymond Boisjoly will be our second speaker in the 2018/19 Stages Speaker Series on Saturday\, December 15\, 2018 **OFF-SITE location: 92 Higgins Ave. Winnipeg\, MB\, Canada. (wheel chair accessible; loads of parking; on the number 47 bus route**
