About the ISCP Fall Open Studios

Three times a year, ISCP offers audiences access to private artists’ and curators’ studios to view artwork and curatorial projects and share one-on-one conversations. This fall, ISCP invites the public to engage in dialogue around contemporary art with arts professionals from across the globe. Concentrated in a three-story postindustrial loft building on the edge of Bushwick, ISCP supports the creative advancement of residents with individual workspaces, a robust program of events, and professional benefits.

Somewhere Inside: ISCP and the Studio, an exhibition commemorating ISCP’s thirtieth anniversary, will be on view in the second floor gallery. Somewhere Inside looks at the ways that five artists—Martine Gutierrez, Daniel Guzmán, Joiri Minaya, Sophie Tottie, and Frank WANG Yefeng, all ISCP alumni, find inspiration from the studio. While these artists have distinct practices, they all approach the studio as a nourishing and exploratory space where they can develop and mine their own creative archive—one enriched by a porous connection to the outside world. Taking up themes of transformation and metamorphosis, topics closely tied to artistic production itself, the work presented here reveals different strategies for making use of one’s expanding archive.

In addition, Sujin Lim: The Land, Dark and Muddy, an exhibition that memorializes a lost landscape, will be on view in the first floor project space. Transforming the gallery into an immersive installation, Ground Floor Resident Sujin Lim offers a poetic tribute to South Korea’s Yeongheung Island, where her father grew up—a place drastically impacted by a recent surge in industrial and commercial development and changing tidelines, markers of climate change that have become increasingly common around the world today. Playfully alluding to the landscape painting tradition, Lim’s compositions poignantly capture a seaside that now only exists in memory.

The exhibitions are curated by Melinda Lang, Director of Programs and Exhibitions at ISCP.
