Salon: Deborah Edmeades and Fuyuka Shindo

Deborah Edmeades’s work investigates the intertwining of Western mystical thought with scientific and philosophical history. She is particularly interested in the various histories that have been suppressed or denied by secular Western culture yet persist as facets of the New Age movement. In her presentation, Edmeades will address the practice of spiritual trance speakers in nineteenth century Colonial New England to draw connections between mysticism, conceptions of gender, and social change.

Fuyuka Shindo is interested in the influence of the United States in the 1870’s on her native region of Hokkaido, Japan. During this period, Japan was widely open to diplomatic exchanges and modernization. She will speak about her current research and previous works on the counter-history and culture of Hokkaido.

Ayesha Kamal Khan: Extraction

Opening Reception: Tuesday, September 26, 6–8pm

Extraction is a solo exhibition in ISCP’s Project Space featuring both new and existing work by Ayesha Kamal Khan, ISCP alumna and a recipient of The New York Community Trust’s Edward and Sally Van Lier Fund residency at ISCP. A series of small sculptures and drawings will be on view, accompanied by Khan’s first artist’s book, titled This Is Temporary. The publication is structured as a long-form poem with images of artwork throughout. The sculptures on view examine the concept of home and collective memory, evoke the precariousness of secure space, and allude to the temporary solutions we devise as we seek balance in our everyday surroundings.

Ayesha Kamal Khan (born 1987) graduated from the National College of Arts, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, 2011; earned an MFA from Pratt Institute, New York, 2015; and attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, 2015. Khan lives and works between Brooklyn and Islamabad. She has exhibited at art institutions internationally, including Art Chowk in Karachi, the Cuadro Gallery in Dubai, and the Queens Museum in New York.

This exhibition is coordinated by Alexandra Friedman, Program Coordinator at ISCP.

This program is supported, in part, by The New York Community Trust Edward and Sally Van Lier Fund, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

Salon: Kristyna and Marek Milde and Yumiko Ono

Kristyna and Marek Milde will speak about their art practice and current project Home in a Home, a research-based work that explores domestic identities. Specifically, they investigate the role of collecting nonfunctional objects and memorabilia in creating personal space. The Mildes’ art practice engages themes of modern lifestyles and everyday realities, including domesticity, food, and a variety of cultural rituals that explore society’s alienation from the wider environmental context.

Yumiko Ono will address her interest in communist culture, especially in the field of architecture and how the idea of utopia connects to her own cultural background. She will explain how this interest circulates throughout her current research in New York. Ono will also present past works to demonstrate the evolution of her work from a particular point of view about form.

This program is supported, in part, by Bohemian Benevolent & Literary Association, Gallery 301, New York City Council District 34, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council, and New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.
