Video: Gravitron Reader-In-Residence Talk | Prairie Art Book Fair 2024

On September 14th, Plug In ICA held the 2024 Prairie Art Book Fair. Shalaka Jadhav the Reader-In-Residence at Gravitron in 2024, joined Nic Wilson for a conversation and presentation that was developed over the course of the residency.

The Gravitron Reader-In-Residence program has been launched in response to the dearth of spaces in so-called Canada that promote and disseminate artists working with publications and writing. This meandering initiative will focus on promoting writing and reading in the visual arts outside major urban centres. The reader-in-residence is invited to engage with the Gravitron collection by reading and responding to the material they find.
