PLUG IN ICA :: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Established in 1972, Plug In was created as a not-for-profit exhibition space directed by a board of practicing artists. It began as one of the first (and few) organizations on the prairies to focus exclusively on contemporary art, and has retained this model while expanding its vision in significant ways. In the late 90s, after twenty-five years of operation as an artist-run-centre, Plug In began to re-envision its role in local, national, and international art circles. Having arrived at a position of notable critical acclaim for its exhibitions and publications program, Plug In sought to have these programs matter in a "larger" way.
After several new initiatives and surveying ICA models in the UK and the US, it was confirmed that Plug In's mission, priorities and activities fit most comfortably within this model - and while it is itself a relatively fluid one, for their purposes this ICA distinction means: the generation of a thoroughly researched mix of exhibitions offering multiple access points to contemporary art and ideas.
