Plug In ICA is happy to announce our upcoming exhibition, Betonwaves, with artist duo Louise Witthöft and Rodney LaTourelle, opening September 5, 2025.

Please join us on September 5 at 7PM to celebrate the opening of this exhibition.

Betonwaves is a site-specific installation created with recycled concrete and low-carbon cement that is simultaneously sculpture, space and furnishing. The project presents an earth friendly and socially engaged critique of unecological construction systems by presenting 'material' itself as a narrative. Formed with locally salvaged concrete aggregate from the ongoing renovations of the Hudson's Bay Company building nearby, which is now owned by the Southern Chiefs Organization, the installation likewise re-interprets this material in a sustainable context as a site for reflection and for talks and discussion about ecologically minded and post-colonial approaches to art production that address both circular, aesthetic and socio-political dimensions.
