My Winnipeg depicts the city as a mytho-poetic territory of reverie, catastrophe, carnal desire, and (sub) conscious inspiration. The exhibition will be displayed in four consecutive "chapters", coalescing as the My Winnipeg Project.
My Winnipeg is co-curated by Paula Aisemberg, Sigrid Dahle, Hervé di Rosa, Noam Gonick, Anthony Kiendl, and Cathy Mattes. It is co-organized by Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art, la maison rouge, MIAM, School of Art Gallery, University of Manitoba, and the National Arts Centre (Ottawa).
Viewers are invited to peruse ephemera of Winnipeg's haunted past. They can gather around tables, when Conférencier Grant Guy presents Club Plug In, live art that builds on Winnipeg's history of vaudeville/variety theater, the cabaret, and the nightclub.
My Winnipeg includes work by the Professional Native Indian Artists' Inc. - Daphne Odjig, Jackson Beardy, Norval Morrisseau, Carl Ray, Joseph Sanchez, Eddy Cobiness, and Alex Janvier - curated by Cathy Mattes.
Other artists include: Daniel Barrow, H. Eric Bergman, Joanne Bristol, Michael Dumontier, Marcel Dzama, Ivan Eyre, Neil Farber, Rosalie Favell, Lionel Lemoine FitzGerald, Lewis Benjamin Foote, Gilles Hébert, Wanda Koop, Rob Kovitz, Bernie Miller, Kent Monkman, Robert Nelson, Darryl Nepinak, Hope Peterson, Alex Poruchnyck and Vern Hume, Don Proch, Jon Pylypchuck, Royal Art Lodge, Colleen Simard, Lionel McDonald Stephenson, Andrew Wall, Esther Warkov, and Adrian Williams.
