Artists at Work: Antonis Pittas in conversation with Gabriela López Dena

For this Artists at Work, ISCP artist-in-residence Antonis Pittas will be joined by curator Gabriela López Dena. Pittas will present on his practice and share the research and work he has developed during his residency. He will speak with López Dena about his interest in  relationships between the past and the present, finding inspiration from historical contexts, and his engagement with performative aspects of installation art. A Q&A with the audience will follow.

Antonis Pittas’ work revolves around current social and political issues, marked by a profound connection to history. His practice delves into significant historical moments of destruction, decay, and resistance, all of which play pivotal roles in shaping his artistic narrative. Pittas has exhibited work at Mujin-to Productions, Tokyo; National Museum of Contemporary Art Αthens (ΕΜΣΤ), Greece; Hessel Museum of Art & CSS Bard Galleries, Annandale, New York; Centraal Museum; Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam; and Museum for Contemporary Art – Eindhoven – Van Abbemuseum (all in The Netherlands), among other institutions.

Gabriela López Dena works across curation and social practice to address the relationship between the built environment and its social dynamics. She is currently the Associate Curator of Public Practice at Public Art Fund, a teaching artist with Swiss Institute, and a member of Interference Archive. She has realized curatorial projects with Cooper Hewitt, the Museum of Arts and Design, and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics. Originally from Mexico City, she founded DENA, a transdisciplinary practice focused on designing and building spaces and collaborating with artists, primarily on architectural-scale installations.

Artists at Work: Frank WANG Yefeng in conversation with Xiaoyu Weng

For this Artists at Work, ISCP artist-in-residence Frank WANG Yefeng will be joined by curator Xiaoyu Weng. WANG will present on his practice and share his recent projects including Groundless Flowers, a new work that he made during his ISCP residency. He will speak with Weng about his interest in “nomadism” and “in betweenness” and how these ideas filter into his artmaking. A Q&A with the audience will follow.

Frank WANG Yefeng is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based between New York and Shanghai. Initially trained as a sculptor, WANG’s work spans diverse media, including video installation, 3D animation, painting, drawing, and writing. His practice explores the “in-betweenness” of a transnational, nomadic existence, blending physical and digital realms to critically examine fixed identity constructs, the histories of racialized “others,” and the alienation of people and objects within dominant cultural and technological narratives. He has exhibited work at Smack Mellon, New York; Hessel Museum of Art, New York; BRIC Biennial, New York; Times Square, New York; the OCAT Biennial, Shenzhen; Vanguard Gallery, Shanghai, among others. 

Based in New York, Xiaoyu Weng is Artistic Director of the Tanoto Art Foundation, a Singapore-based not-for-profit foundation. From 2021-2023, she was Head of the Modern and Contemporary Art department at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto, Canada. Previously, she served as Associate Curator at the Solomon R. Guggenheim in New York, where she curated exhibitions including Tales of Our Time (2016–17) and One Hand Clapping (2018), exploring the responses of Chinese artists to globalization. Weng also curated the fifth Ural Industrial Biennial in 2018–19 in Yekaterinburg, and from 2010 to 2015, she held the position of director and curator of Asia Programs at Kadist Art Foundation, Paris and San Francisco.

Artists at Work: Anaïs Goupy in conversation with Chiarina Chen

For this Artists at Work, ISCP artist-in-residence Anaïs Goupy will be joined by curator and writer Chiarina Chen. Goupy will present on her practice and speak with Chen about historical representations of women in painting, the commodification of the female body in the age of social media and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and internet culture to disrupt this commodified body. They will also discuss the power of the gaze and the role it plays today in AI systems when determining what is real versus fake and what is desirable. A Q&A with the audience will follow. 

Anaïs Goupy is a French artist and researcher exploring the relationship between humans and machines through a transdisciplinary practice. She is influenced by digital social network trends and examines themes of female representation across history, pop culture, and the internet, especially as it relates to ideas of emancipation and aesthetics. Goupy has exhibited work at ASPN Gallery, Germany; Kunstverein Bielefeld, Germany; and Spazio Bidet, Italy, among others.

Chiarina Chen is a New York-based independent curator and writer. From a psychology and art history background, her curatorial praxis explores diasporic conditions and posthuman subjectivity. She has produced international projects that merge art and emotional technology and range from mixed media, sound installations, cyborg performances, and experimental theater. Chen has curated exhibitions at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Massachusetts; Chain Theater, New York; University of Applied Arts Vienna and Krinzinger Projekte, both in Vienna; Posthuman Research Center, New York University, New York; and the Shanghai Himalayas Museum and Art and Philosophy Center, Fudan University, Shanghai.
