Moholy-Nagy, Media and the Arts l Craig Street Cats’ Spay-Ghetti Dinner l Doug Edmond & Sweet Alibi l Kraken and Spirits and Beads - Mardi Gras

March 7, 7:00 pm
Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art, Unit 1 - 460 Portage Avenue

Plug In ICA is pleased to present the opening reception of 
Sensing the Future: Moholy-Nagy, Media and the Arts. 
The reception is free, and all are welcome. 
The exhibition is organized around some of Moholy-Nagy’s key themes: sensory training, technology/modernity, production/reproduction, immersion/participation, art as information/information as art, and transparency/reflection/motion.

Sensing the Future considers the impact of technology today by exploring how it was addressed in the practice of the Hungarian polymath artist László Moholy-Nagy (1895 – 1946), a key figure in the history of Modernism. Moholy-Nagy is known for his work in traditional media such as painting and sculpture, but also in photography and film, as well as in stage and exhibition design, typography, and advertising. 

This short film, made by László Moholy-Nagy in 1930, is based on the shadow patterns created by his Light-Space Modulator. 

Curated by Oliver Botar, Sensing the Future combines historical artworks with works by contemporary artists from Canada, Europe and the United States. 

The artists included: Eduardo Aquino (Winnipeg); the team of Nike Arnold, Andreas Haus, Aline Helmcke, Frédéric Krauke and Walter Lenertz (Berlin); Naomi Claire (Baltimore); Lancelot Coar (Winnipeg); Olafur Eliasson (Berlin); Oskar Fischinger; Ken Gregory (Winnipeg); Patrick Harrop (Winnipeg); the team of Gottfried Jäger and Karl Martin Holzhäuser (Bielefeld); Eduardo Kac (Chicago); György Kepes; the team of Jörg U. Lensing, Gudula Schröder, Jürgen Steger, Thomas Neuhaus, Malou Airaudo and Sascha Hardt (Düsseldorf); Erika Lincoln (Winnipeg); Norman McLaren; the team of Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, Galen Johnson, Bob Kotyk and Ryan Simmons (Winnipeg); Bernie Miller (Winnipeg); Lucia Moholy; Francisco Javier Navarro de Zuvillaga (Madrid); Freya Olafson (Winnipeg); István Sebök; and Peter Yeadon (New York).

Performance Café with Perforated Sides - Dan Graham
Closes December 31

Curated by Anthony Kiendl, the installation was created for Plug In ICA's roof terrace, an outdoor program space. 

Since the late 1970s, Dan Graham's work has focused upon public architectural installations called pavilions. Blurring the line between art and architecture, Graham's pavilions comprise steel, mirror and glass structures that create diverse optical effects. Created as hybrids, they operate as functional spaces and art installations.

Art + Body: See Me Hear Festival l MoMondays Winnipeg l Ladies Night for Osborne House


Arts & Disability Network Manitoba is hosting the 2nd annual 
Art + Body: See Me Hear festival

September 12 - St. Boniface Library's Art + Body: See Me Hear exhibition 
A four-week juried art show featuring works by local artists with disabilities. These pieces explore and challenge the relationship between isolation and communication. 

October 10 - Plug In ICA, Unit 1 - 460 Portage Avenue
October 11 - Winnipeg Art Gallery, 300 Memorial Blvd.

The October event is packed with performances, artist talks and artwork by artists with disabilities, as well as local comedian Big Daddy Tazz, pianist Jeremy Rusu, and feature performer, Christine Sun Kim, an internationally-renowned sound artist from New York.


Presented in conjunction with the send + receive international sound-art festival, the 2nd annual Art + Body fair revolves around the different ways of engaging body senses when one sense is interrupted, amplified, or gone. 

Being deaf silences sounds but on the upside it enriches the visual world, says local artist Alice Crawford. Her fabric piece, “Communication, Expressive Hands, Understand” depicts ASL as a practical, beautiful way of expressing ideas, thoughts and emotions. 

“Red Dress,” represents photographer Marie LeBlanc's inner beauty in a world that is chaotic and confusing. My multiple disabilities allow me to see things from a different perspective, one which I choose to communicate through the lens of the camera.

Arts & Disability Network Manitoba is a regional not-for-profit organization dedicated to the full inclusion of artists and audiences with disabilities into all facets of the arts community. Their vision is to inspire artists and all "temporarily able-bodied" stakeholders to take to heart the mantra: arts for all.

Karen Robb: POETREE...and other Delta Stories l Chaos Cabaret l Roy Ascott: The Analogues

POETREE...and other Delta Stories - Solo Art Show by Karen Robb
Portage District Arts Centre, 11-2nd Street NE Portage la Prairie MB
To Sept. 28, 2013

Opening Night Celebration Aug. 15, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Karen Robb studied at the University of Manitoba School of Fine Arts over twenty years ago.  She has created over sixty original works of art.  Nearly half of these have been acquired by private collectors, and her limited reproductions have been in great demand. 

Karen’s work is regularly on display at the Birchwood Art Gallery.  Her work has also been displayed in group shows at the Cre8ery Gallery and the Medea Art Gallery.  She co-produced the show Surface Wounds/Fractured Thought in 2011 at the Cre8ery Gallery.  In 2012, Karen and two other Winnipeg artists travelled to Los Angeles to present their self-produced show Les Fauve Canadien.

Thanks to the support of Studio 26 Gallery in Brooklyn, New York, her work has been seen at the Red Dot Festival in Miami and ArtExpo New York. This summer (2013) Studio 26 Gallery will take her work to the ArtHamptons Art Festival, New York.


I am not particularly comfortable with labels. So, while others might describe me as a Contemporary Abstract Expressionist, I see myself simply as an artist whose influences span many different styles of art: the Abstract, Modern, Fauvist, Post-modern and Pop Art movements… I look to reveal the relationship between architectural design, art, nature and the female form. My hope is that these influences may spark the imagination of the viewer and take them onto another journey.

The Analogues - Roy Ascott
Closes September 27
Curated by Anthony Kiendl and co-presented with Video Pool Media Arts Centre

Explore a small but crucial body of work by English inter-media artist and theorist Roy Ascott. The works were largely created in England between 1963 and 1970. They form a crucial part of the artist’s “Analogue” works – non-digital, two-dimensional and non-representational wall works that pre-figure his later artwork relating to computer networks, viewer interaction, and telematics. Ascott was the first to coin the term “telematic art” to describe the use of online computer networks as an art medium.

Ascott will be a visiting artist and lecturer at the Summer Institute. 
Participating faculty and artists in this year’s Institute also include: Ken Gregory, 
Oliver Botar, Eduardo Kac, Candice Davies, Ray Fenwick, Nikki Forrest, Thea Jones,
 Jean Klimack, Erika Lincoln, Freya Bjorg Olafson, Juan Ortiz-Apuy, Victoria Scott, 
Matthew Walker, Mitchell Wiebe and Aaron Weldon.

A publication Roy Ascott: The Analogues will be published by Plug In Editions, with an essay by Anthony Kiendl and an interview with Ascott by Dr. Melentie Pandilovski, Director of Video Pool Media Arts Centre, Winnipeg.
