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 Raymond Boisjoly
DESCRIPTION:***Off-site location: 92 Higgins Ave. Winnipeg\, MB\, Canada. (wheelchair accessible; loads of parking; #47 bus route)*** \nOn Friday\, December 14th 2018\, Plug In ICA will present an artist talk with Raymond Boisjoly as part of our STAGES Speaker Series in anticipation of STAGES 2019.* \nBoisjoly is in Winnipeg to begin his research for STAGES 2019 and present on his artwork and process\, which tussles with the possibility of communicating a sense of indigeneity that is not necessarily crucial to identity. As such he extends his research and actions beyond his personal or ancestral history from a position that is fractured between the desire for representation and the instability of image-making. Boisjoly obscures meaning and a direct form of address. His works are to be deciphered\, with meaning often intentionally scrambled\, hidden and coded. Through fragmentation and distortion\, he conceals his research and reasoning\, most commonly using photography and printing as processes to redirect our assumed understandings surrounding Indigenous communities as a means to speak about identity itself. \n*With its conception in 2017\, STAGES sets out to activate the city of Winnipeg with temporary public sculpture and performances by international and local artists. The Speaker Series is a means of initiating and connecting the artists with local audiences\, and introducing visiting artists to Winnipeg. \nRaymond Boisjoly has a BFA from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design where he currently teaches. He also has an MFA from UBC and has exhibited work widely across Canada and abroad. Boisjoly has shown work at Platform Centre for Photographic + Digital Arts\, Winnipeg; The Power Plant\, Toronto; Vancouver Art Gallery; Camera Austria\, Vienna; Triangle France\, Marseille; and most recently at SITElines\, Santa Fe. In 2017\, he was a finalist for the AIMIA|AGO Photography Prize as well as the Sobey Art Award. Writings on Boisjoly’s work have appeared in Mousse Magazine\, C Magazine\, and OSMOS Magazine to name a few. He is represented by Catriona Jefferies\, Vancouver. \nAcknowledgements: \nPlug In Institute of Contemporary Art recognizes we are on Treaty One Territory\, the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe\, Métis\, Cree\, Dakota\, Dene\, and Oji-Cree Nations. \nStages Speaker Series & STAGES 2019 is supported by the Winnipeg Foundation. \n We thank our community partners Alt Hotel for their continued support of STAGES.
