SUMMARY:Interpreting [Interrupting] Youth Summer Edition
DESCRIPTION:Interpreting [Interrupting] Youth\nAugust 16 to September 20\, 2017\nPlug In ICA – 460 Portage Avenue • Just TV @ The Broadway Neighbourhood Centre – 185 Young Street • Public locations in Winnipeg\n\nBeginning on August 16th\, Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art will offer the third edition of “Interpreting [Interrupting] Youth.” The central premise of this program is to create a platform for youth to be introduced and exposed to contemporary art\, artists\, curators and art educators while developing skills related to art education\, communications\, journalism and videography. A second function of the program is to introduce the contemporary art milieu to the perspectives and interpretive modes of Youth. For this session the youth will be present at all stages of the exhibition from installation to opening\, with opportunities to meet and interview the artists and staff. \nDesigned for youth ages 16 to 24. The program reverses a pre-existing interpretive model used within arts institutions who often produce short videos as educational devices. These videos often include interviews with artists or curators\, images of artworks and installation shots; they often reference artists’ biographies\, previous artworks\, and at times\, glimpse into artists’ studios. These videos are usually presented online or within the gallery or museum in close proximity to the artworks\, and tend to place an emphasis on the artist’s and institution’s intention over the experience of the viewer. \nThe “Interpreting [Interrupting] Youth” program inversely begins with the youth’s experience of the artwork\, challenging conventional models of art interpretation by overturning basic roles of authority and authorship. In partnership with Just TV\, groups of 4-6 youth work in collaboration to produce a short video that will speak about their experience and interpretations of the artwork presented at Plug In ICA. This session will look at the exhibition Stages: Drawing the Curtain and will run for 5 weeks (10 sessions) each Wednesday and Saturday. For the summer session we will have some flexibility in terms of days/times to accommodate travel plans\, etc. \nFor examples of video’s produced previously see: https://vimeo.com/218706778 & https://vimeo.com/210661133 \nFor more information or to participate or to register as a participant\, please fill out the registration form attatched and email it to sarah@plugin.org.\nPlug In Institute of Contemporary Art would like to thank Payworks\, Wawanesa Mutual Insurance and RBC Foundation for the support of these Learning programs. \n\nRelated exhibit: \nSTAGES: Drawing the Curtain\n\nFile Download: \nInterpreting Youth Registration Form

SUMMARY:A.K. Burns: A Slow Rearrangement of Desires
DESCRIPTION:September 25\, 2017 – 7pm\nPlug In Institute of Contemporary Art\n\nIn anticipation of our fall exhibition Entering the Landscape\, opening on September 30th\, 2017\, Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art is extremely pleased to present an artist talk with Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist and educator\, A.K. Burns. \nOn Monday\, September 25th at 7pm\, Burns will speak about her current project\, Negative Space. For her talk titled ‘A Slow Rearrangement of Desires’ Burns will unravel the links between her recent body of work and camping in Utah\, new materialism\, access to resources and disdain for speed and newness\, the current political apocalypse\, collaboration\, and previous projects. This interweaving of land and body follows many of the same lines of inquiry as Leave No Trace\, the sound and text-based installation that Burns will present as her contribution to Entering the Landscape. \n\nA. K. Burns uses video\, sculpture and installation to querie the socio-political constructs that give form and meaning to contemporary notions of the body. Her current project\, Negative Space is a cycle of five video installations that take speculative fiction as a point of departure. Burns is a prolific artist\, respected thinker and educator and was recently selected as the artist in residence at the New Museum (spring 2017). Her work has been exhibited internationally with shows at the New Museum\, NY; the Tate Modern\, London; The Museum of Modern Art\, NY; The Sculpture Center\, NY; and Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, CA. Burns was a 2016-17 Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard University and a recipient of a 2015 Creative Capital Foundation Visual Arts Award. Burns currently teaches at Hunter College Graduate Department of Art & Art History\, and in the Sculpture Department at NYU Steinhardt. \n\nThis talk is programmed in conjunction with Entering the Landscape \n(October 1 to December 31\, 2017)\nOpening Reception: Saturday September 30 | 8pm to 1am\nPanel Discussion: Saturday september 30 | 1pm to 3pm \n  \nPia Arke • Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory  • Jaime Black • Lori Blondeau • A.K. Burns • The Ephemerals • Melissa General • Rebecca Horn • Katherine Hubbard • Maria Hupfield • Simone Jones •  Tau Lewis • Amy Malbeuf  • Meryl McMaster  •  Ana Mendieta • Natalie Purschwitz • Dominique Rey • Jamie Ross • Xaviera Simmons • Ming Wong • Alize Zorlutuna \n\nEntering the Landscape is a contemplative group exhibition featuring twenty-one artists from Canada\, the USA\, Denmark\, and Berlin. Working in film and video\, photography\, sculpture\, and performance these artists represent a breadth of politicized contemporary and iconic historical works that place the female or queer body in the landscape. Bringing together artworks that conceptually and aesthetically overlap\, this exhibition identifies and considers a persistent motif in contemporary art. \n\n\n\nAll public programming is free and open to the public. Everyone welcome! \n\n\nPlug In ICA extends our gratitude to our generous donors\, valued members and dedicated volunteers.
