About the Exhibition

ICA at MECA&D is pleased to offer our audiences the first opportunity to receive the nineteenth issue of Megawords Magazine. Having evolved from its initial formats of saturated color newsprint and stapled black-and-white pages, this new iteration combines an impressive array of paper stocks, glossy photos, and a spiral binding—and, in true Megawords form—all for free. This issue also includes a special print insert, created by MECA&D student, Mitchell Kehe and printed by Joanne Gravelin.

The immersive installation will introduce the whole of Megawords practice to the city of Portland. The new magazines will be encircled by related ephemera and inspirations; including videos, photographs, found objects and a community chalkboard creating an outpost designed as a space to encourage various forms of engagement: learning, eating, seeing, conversing, and collaborating.
