Fall Exhibition | Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs |

Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art 460 Portage, Winnipeg, Manitoba

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.
