The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) Fall Open Studios is a three-day exhibition of international contemporary art. The 29 artists from 19 countries currently in residence present work in their studios. The studio is a generative space—part production site, office, laboratory and situation—and it can be argued that it is more significant today for artistic process than ever before. Open Studios invites the public to 29 studio visits to experience art in its place of origin and to share conversations with artists from all over the world.

The Field is to the Sky, Only Backwards
Accompanying Open Studios, The Field is to the Sky, Only Backwards is an exhibition curated by ISCP alum Aneta Szylak, Artistic Director of Wyspa Institute of Art and Alternativa International Visual Arts Festival, Gdansk. The exhibition includes works by Anders Bojen and Kristoffer Ørum, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Hiwa K, Katarzyna Krakowiak, MML Studio (Michał Madracki, Maciej Madracki and Gilles Lepore) and Hito Steyerl and questions art as a practice of knowledge.
Studying the intersections of subjects such as economic and social relations, space and architecture, image, material, sound, movement, migration and mobility, the included artists transgress disciplines. They realize forms of research and modes of practice that are coded within disciplines but also inhabit temporary spaces between them. The artists disclose not only what we want to know but also how we would like to get to know it. Diverse methodologies merge and cross in the exhibition, seeking the possible in fault lines.
On Thursday, November 7, ISCP will hold a private benefit preview that will feature the open studios of 29 residents, magicians from A Taste of Magic NYC, a raffle, cocktails by Tito’s Handmade Vodka and hors d’oeuvres from Open Kitchen Events. Please visit ISCP’s website to purchase tickets.
