Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art is extremely excited to present our inaugural Prairie Art Book Fair September 7-9, 2018. As a means to acknowledge the critical relationship between contemporary art and publishing with a regional focus on the Prairies, the weekend will showcase over twenty-nine exhibitors and present numerous events with highlights including collaborative hole punch drawing with Winnipeg born artist Micah Lexier; a talk connecting DIY tattooing and artist multiples by Maxine Proctor (Director and Co-founder of the Toronto Art Book Fair and Managing Editor of BlackFlash Magazine), and a workshop with key presenter Jeff Khonsary (Co-Founding and Artistic Director of Fillip and Director of New Documents) on alternative book fair models, looking at the economics and social space of the book fair model itself.
Explore diverse and accomplished publications from over twenty-five publishers, artists, and galleries ranging from zines, catalogues, artist editions, fiction, poetry, criticism, and periodicals.
DF / Alder & Ash / D-Ann Kuby
11 July 2018, 6pm
DF
https://dfduo.bandcamp.com/
Looped saxophone with audio-reactive light installations and visuals. Spacious, pulsing, emotive, and bright.
Alder & Ash
https://alderandashmusic.bandcamp.com/
A counterpoint of two extremes. The music lies in stillness, introversion, and penitence. It lies in violence, cacophony, and angst. Alder & Ash plays cello with loop pedal to create improvised minimal classical music, with influence of doom metal, ambient, post-rock and noise.
D-Anne Kuby
Dance artist D-Anne Kuby will play with the sounds of Adrian (Alder and Ash) and Dustin (DF) for her second ever rendition of “let’s be honest – an improvisation regarding all that we can be absolutely certain of”. She also plans to present “Sarah minus Russell and without the poem”.
On Saturday May 12th, at aceartic. in the spirit of Paris is Burning, QPOC & Like That threw the second La Macha ball! A full evening of celebration of queerness you will never forget. This year had seven categories for your nerves, all judged by their Majesty, MANGHOE LASSI and QPOC royalty. aceartinc. is the spot, doors at 10pm, $10 sliding scale donation to get in to the event. DJ Slow Grind and Wanda G are your DJs and La Macha is going to be FIRE.
ace is proudly hosting this year’s send+receive. BUT not all the gigs are at ace- for a full listing go here.
Local legend, Joel Mierau will be giving a rare performance at ace on the occassion of alto saxophnoist, Brodie West’s, first Winnipeg concert. The gig starts promptly… it’s really a special, unique event.
Info:
Joel Mierau is an artist and sound engineer working in Winnipeg. whose work is informed by his intimate perception of subtle changes in sounds. This is a theme that influences + reoccurs throughout his work, often in the use of long tones and discrete movement.
Alto saxophonist Brodie West’s fascination in sound has taken him from Alexandra Park to Addis Ababa.
Originally hailing from Nanaimo, British Columbia, jazz studies at Humber College brought Brodie to Toronto. Emerging as a member of Zebradonk, Deep Dark United and Drumheller, he was soon in demand as a featured guest, adding his spirit to recordings ranging from Broken Social Scene’s seminal You Forgot It in People to more recent appearances with Jennifer Castle, Snowblink and Tasseomancy. Studies at the Amsterdam Music Conservatory with Misha Mengelberg lead to musical encounters with percussionist Han Bennink as well as The Ex, culminating in two tours to Ethiopia and the group’s collaborative recordings with Getatchew Mekuria.

Another hullabaloo of contemporary art, artists, and performance- the aceartinc. members’ show! Become a member and take part!
Come to the launch party at 8pm – midnight on 29 September. There’ll be performances, the opportunity to buy work on show, and DJs. 100% of the sale goes to the artist.
This year, ace is partnering with Blackspace Winnipeg. Black visual artists and those of colour are encouraged to take part in the members’ show and become a part of a larger artist community and use the resources that are available. ace and Blackspace’s goal is to highlight Black visual artists with the hope to foster diversity and inclusion for Winnipeg’s art scene. Nuit Noire will be taking place at ace the day after Carte Blanche.
Benefit for Justice for Errol
A night of good sounds in support of the Justice for Errol group. Performers:
Burden: deconstructed piano legends https://
Rosa Reaper: vocal loop blair witch project https://
Hypat1a: dreamy fearie experiments for laying around https://soundcloud.com/
Funds raised at this show will go towards the costs associated with the inquest into the murder of Errol Greene at the winnipeg remand centre in May last year. Though Errol’s widow Rochelle was granted standing at the inquest, the state does not provide any funding for legal representation, or other costs such as childcare, etc. Please consider making a generous donation, as costs will be very high, and no amount of benefit shows will make any significant dent in that bill. More information about the case will be available at the event, and a link to a pamphlet put together by the J4E group is posted in the comments on this event page.
Show starts early! please arrive on time! doors at 7pm, show is 8pm-10:30pm SHARP.
Suggested donation of $8, no one turned away for lack of funds.
Ace art is not an physically accessible venue, for this we apologize.
See you all there! For any questions please contact us through the J4E page, thank you.
Big thanks to Ace Art for their generous donation of the space to host the event ♥♥♥
please also share this gofundme with your networks, and donate generously: https://www.gofundme.com/
