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:Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art co-presents with the School of Art\, University of Manitoba and hosted by the Winnipeg Art Gallery | Artist Talk by Ken Lum
DESCRIPTION:As part of our fall exhibition Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs\, Plug In ICA is fortunate to welcome Ken Lum\, one of the exhibiting artists\, to Winnipeg. In collaboration with the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the School of Art\, University of Manitoba\, Lum will be presenting a talk covering the scope of his multi-decade oeuvre. \nA frequent writer\, artist\, and educator\, Lum recently described\, “it is through art that I am constantly challenged to understand the world and my place within it\, even if that place is one that I am not entirely at home in.” He declared this sentiment in an essay comparing his experiences as a resident of the United States to his life growing up in Canada where he began his career as an artist. In many respects\, this assertion fittingly doubles as an undergirding principle to every image\, object or monument he has imagined and put out into the world. If one’s self-examination becomes heightened with a shift in a sense of place and geography\, then it is with this same grasp of self in tandem with a social one that becomes the thriving pulse for Lum’s work as an artist\, educator\, and individual.  \nWith a long career like Lum’s\, it feels superfluous to reiterate his immeasurable achievements but needless to say\, Lum is one of Canada’s most essential artists living today. Though he is currently making home in Philadelphia as the chair of Fine Arts at University of Pennsylvania’s School of Art & Design\, his resonance continues to be intertwined within contemporary art dialogue being generated in Canada. Lum’s public works across major metropolitan cities in Canada remain iconic markers not only for a cities’ cultural identity but illuminate the nation’s historical memory. His work is taught as part of art history curriculums at universities across the country and he continues to be an indispensible artist among prominent cultural institutions throughout the world. Lum is currently the chief curatorial advisor for Monument Lab; a city-wide public art and architectural exhibition in Philadelphia. In Winnipeg his work is on exhibit at the Winnipeg Art Gallery as part of the 80s Image and at Plug In ICA as part of Days of Reading. He will be conducting a seminar at the School of Art\, University of Manitoba. \nRelated exhibit:  \n\nDays of Reading

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**

SUMMARY:Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs | Spanish Tour
DESCRIPTION:El día jueves 15 de Noviembre a las 3pm\, la artista Francesca Carella Arfinengo brindará un tour guiado de las exposición Dias de Lectura: más allá de la situación actual. \nLa exhibición está estructurada alrededor de ideas como la indexación\, colección\, el encubrimiento y la revelación con un enfoque en el uso de materiales y la superposición de la poesía. El uso de texto sirve como cimiento del grupo de obras; el texto es por lo general texto extraído\, poético y coloquial con narrativas históricas y políticas entrelazadas como material mismo\, incluyendo la revista popular Jet de Cultura Negra en el trabajo de Theaster Gates Do I Know You\, 2017; la declaración de Independencia de Haití en Liberté ou la morte de Fabiola Carranza; carteles de centros comerciales en la obra de Ken Lum 117 Dwight Eisenhower Blvd\, 2009; y en el descubrimiento reciente de graffiti medieval en All Saints Bench\, 2018 de Shannon Bool. \nNatalie Czech\, Hassan Khan y Sylvia Matas presentan al lenguaje utilizando significantes del día a día: anuncios en revistas\, letreros hechos con luces LED y recortes de periódicos\, a los cuales analizan sintácticamente transformándolos en gestos poéticos y politicos.\nJeanne Randolph y Sameer Farooq y Jared Stanley activan diferentes colecciones por medio de la crítica-ficcional (Randolph) y museos especulativos (Farooq y Stanley).\nLeah Decter\, así como Carranza\, excava lenguaje del archivo\, específicamente del manifiesto marítimo que detallada la llegada de su abuelo materno a Canadá y lo utiliza en su obra tejida en telar (through)line(age) 1779-1925-2013\, 2013. \nComo parte de la exhibición Raven Chacon empieza un nuevo proyecto\, un libro\, dedicado a la vida de Zitkála-Šá\, una mujer de la nación Yankton Dakota que vivió a los inicios del siglo 20. El libro estará compuesto por doce partituras dedicadas a doce mujeres Indígenas contemporáneas “trabajando en el campo de la composición y la interpretación musical” \nLa exhibición require ser leída al paso que uno se mueve dentro del espacio. A travez del maridaje de objetos y texto\, la manera en la cual historias son captadas y representadas aparece en términos prosaicos pero carga con el peso de los errores y tergiversaciones de la historia misma. \n\nPlug In Institute of Contemporary Art is eager to announce the opening of our fall exhibition\, Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs .

SUMMARY:Interpreting [Interrupting] Youth: Video Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Interpreting [Interrupting] Youth \n• Screening and Discussion • Free! \nWednesday\, November 21st | 5:00 – 7:00 pm \nScreening & Discussion: 5:30 pm\n______________________________________________________ \nOn Wednesday\, November 21\, 2018\, discover our current exhibition\, Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs through the interpretive lens of 5 youth participants. \nStarting at 5:00 pm\, participants of the sixth edition of our Interpreting [Interrupting] Youth [IIY] program\, Mark Ginther\, Tuva Bergstrom\, Dylan VanDamme\, Jordan Santiago and Victor Ilunga will offer the presentation of a short interpretive video produced by them in collaboration with Plug In ICA. \nThe Interpreting Youth program is\, yet\, another way Plug In ICA provides an entry into conversations and practices happening in contemporary art today. It is integral to the ICA’s educational programming to audiences in the community. \nThe screening offers a visual reflection of the youth’s collective and individual experience of Days of Reading: beyond this state of affairs\, and marks the culmination of an intensive four week session\, working and thinking together about the exhibition\, and about video as an interpretive mode. For this iteration of the program\, participants had the opportunity to work closely with our Assistant Curator\, Luther Konadu\, to discuss process\, approach and multi-media content creation. \nThe youth screening and panel discussion will begin at 5:30 pm\, followed by a short reception. Assistant Curator\, Luther Konadu\, will moderate the panel discussion with IIY participants. Everyone is welcome! Snacks and refreshments will be served.\n______________________________________________________ \nInterpreting [Interrupting] Youth is designed for youth ages 16 to 24. The program reverses a pre-existing interpretive model used within arts institutions that often produce short videos as educational devices. The “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.
