ISCP Talk
November 20, 2018, 6:30–8pm

Artists at Work: Stine Marie Jacobsen and Yann Pocreau

Stine Marie Jacobsen will speak about her ongoing project ‘Direct Approach,’ which is a platform for discussion about various perspectives on violence. During her ISCP residency, this project took the form of a podcast featuring young people sharing their thoughts on violence in film and reality. For her talk, Jacobsen’s local collaborators and participants will speak about the impact of the project.

Inspired by a recent residency in an astronomical observatory, Yann Pocreau will discuss artistic production in the context of life beyond the earth. He will also speak about the effects of this residency on his new projects, and more generally about the use of light in his work.

This program is supported, in part, by Canada Council for the Arts, Danish Arts Foundation, Hartfield Foundation; 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. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

Open Hours: Saturday, November 10, 1–7pm

The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) Fall Open Studios is a two-day exhibition of international contemporary art presented by the 35 artists and curators from 23 countries currently in residence. Jonas Mekas, whose groundbreaking work has had a significant impact on the fields of film, poetry and art, will make remarks at 7pm on November 9.

Twice a year only, ISCP offers the public access to private artists’ and curators’ studios to view artwork and share one-on-one conversations. Today, spaces for open cultural discourse are more important than ever—we invite 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 has supported the creative advancement of residents for over twenty years, with a robust program of individual workspaces and professional benefits.

ISCP has invited 5533, an Istanbul-based independent space founded in 2007, to be the 2018 institution-in-residence. Works that highlight the current artistic and social atmosphere in Turkey will be on view during Open Studios in the exhibition Under the Radar: 5533 at ISCP. Selections from 5533’s archives will also be included in the exhibition, as well as a project by Gözde İlkin.

In addition, Chia-Wei Hsu: Black and White – Malayan Tapir will be on view in the Project Space throughout Open Studios. In this exhibition, co-organized with the Taipei Cultural Center in New York, Hsu cuts across time and geography to narrate the history of the Malayan tapir and its relationship to colonial power and zoos in Southeast Asia.

Lecture on 5533 by Nancy Atakan and Volkan Aslan, moderated by Mari Spirito

As part of the public programing for 5533’s institutional residency and exhibition Under the Radar, its co-founders Nancy Atakan and Volkan Aslan will be in discussion. They will reflect on 5533’s initiatives and alternative model during its ten years of existence. The discussion will be moderated by Mari Spirito, who collaborated with 5533 on the Proto5533 series of exhibitions.

Co-founded in 2007 by Nancy Atakan and Volkan Aslan, 5533 aims to establish, within the Istanbul art context, a space to bring together people from different locations, disciplines, occupations, and backgrounds to create alternative models in the art context. They initiate contemporary art projects based on art-related research, critical reflection, dialogue, collaboration, interaction, discussion, and sharing. Having selected a modus operandi that gives freedom for experimentation without fear of failure, 5533 functions without an official status, sponsors, or long-term plans.

Volkan Aslan lives and works in İstanbul, and is the co-founder of 5533. Working with a wide range of materials and media, his recent practice deals with the perception of time and memory, infusing his work with both personal associations and unexpected interpretations. Recent solo exhibitions include Shoot me! Don’t turn me over!, Pi Artworks, Istanbul, 2018; A Good Neighbour, 15^th Istanbul Biennial, 2017; Passion, Joy, Fury, Maxxi Museum, Rome, 2015; and A Day Not Yet Lived, Pi Artworks, London, 2014.

Nancy Atakan, co-founder of 5533, has been a fixture in the Istanbul arts scene for over 40 years, as an artist, teacher, art historian, and art critic. Her multi-media practice concentrates on the relationship between image and word, the meaning of belonging, gender politics, and globalization, most particularly in the context of Istanbul. She recently exhibited her work at Making a Shift, (with Maria Andersson), Nordic Art Association, NFK, Stockholm; Community of Lines, Pi Artworks, Istanbul, 2017; and Sporting Chances, Pi Artworks, London, 2016.

Mari Spirito is Executive Director and Curator of Protocinema, an art organization realizing site-aware exhibitions around the world, since 2011. She is Associate Curator of Visual Arts, Onassis Cultural Center, Athens and was a Guest Curator for Alserkal Avenue Program’s Public Commission, Dubai, 2018; Director and Curator of Alt Art Space/Bomonti, Istanbul 2015-2017; Advisor to the 2nd Mardin Biennial, Turkey, 2012; and Director of 303 Gallery New York, 2000 – 2012. She is President of the Board of Participant, Inc, New York and holds a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art, Boston.

This program is supported, in part, by Greenwich Collection Ltd., Hartfield Foundation, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, Pera Soho, and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
