SUMMARY:Respondent Series | Artist Talk with Shannon Bool | September 25\, 7pm
DESCRIPTION:Respondent Series | Artist Talk with Shannon Bool\n\nBerlin-based artist\, Shannon Bool\, will be presenting a talk on Tuesday\, September 25th\, 2018 at 7pm. The talk is in conjunction with the exhibition\, Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs\, which opens Saturday\, September 29th\, 2018. The Canadian born artist’s stream of work has always permutated in diverging forms to include murals\, sculpture\, tapestries\, and photograms. She continues to concentrate her works in visual codes that are entrenched in popular culture\, art history\, pre-historic and ancient civilizations. Bool’s talk will cover her expansive practice\, as well as her commissioned contribution for the upcoming fall exhibition: All Saints Bench. This new work is an extension from a previous line of work that is also involved with surface\, ornamentation and their historical\, emotional and poetic resonance. \nThis is the first presentation of Bool’s work in Winnipeg. We are privileged to host her work along with an esteemed list of artists gathered for Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs. \nWe would also like to recognize Daniel Faria for his support of All Saints Bench and Fabris and Watts for their support in producing this new work by Bool. \n\nAssociated Programming: \nFriday\, September 28\, 7pm | Sameer Farooq\, Jeanne Randolph and Jared Stanley in conversation \nSaturday\, September 29 | Nuit Blanche\, Exhibition open 7pm to 1am \n\n7-11pm | Opening Reception\n6pm | Panel Discussion with Raven Chacon\, Laura Ortman and Suzanne Kite (in partnership with Video Pool Media Centre)\n8pm | Performances by Laura Ortman and Suzanne Kite\n\nThursday\, November 1\, 7pm | Artist Talk Ken Lum
Hosted by the Winnipeg Art Gallery in Eckhardt Hall\, 300 Memorial Boulevard\, Winnipeg\, and presented by the School of Art\, University of Manitoba & Plug In Institute of Contemporary \n\n\n\nRelated exhibit: \n\n\nDays of Reading: beyond this state of affairs

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion | Raven Chacon\, Laura Ortman and Suzanne Kite | September 29\, 6pm
DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion and Performance | Raven Chacon\, Laura Ortman and Suzanne Kite\nPlug In Institute of Contemporary Art | 1\, 460 Portage Ave | Winnipeg MB | Canada\n\nAs part of Plug In ICA’s Respondent Series for the exhibition\, Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs\, we present a conversation between\, artist and composer Raven Chacon\, and experimental musician’s Laura Ortman and Suzanne Kite. \nRaven Chacon’s participation in Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs begins with a new book project and sound piece that will comprise twelve musical scores dedicated to twelve contemporary Indigenous women “working in the field of contemporary music performance or composition\,“ alongside essays and performance notes. \nThis work in progress is in dedication to the life of Zitkála-Šá\, an early 20th century Yankton Dakota woman who was a prolific writer\, musician\, and activist. Zitkála-Šá’s life is interpreted through music\, and\, in dialogue with collaborators Suzanne Kite and Laura Ortman\, in an abstract form that subordinates language and clarity\, never prescribing itself as one view that is presented as an authentic biography. \nThe public discuss will focus of Chacon’s research and the collaborative participation of Suzanne Kite and Laura Ortman. Kite and Ortman will perform on Plug In ICA’s rooftop shortly following the conversation and as part of Days of Reading’s opening reception. \n\nRelated exhibit:\nDays of Reading: beyond this state of affairs
