Panel Discussion: Taking Up Space: Artist and Community as Co-Creators

In collaboration with the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art (HVCCA)

Participants: Liene Bosque, Peekskill Project 6 artist; Saskia Janssen (ISCP resident) and George Korsmit, Peekskill Project 6 artists; Emilie Nilsson, Organizer and head curator, Peekskill Project 6; Naomi Hersson-Ringskog, Executive Director, No Longer Empty; Todd Shalom, Founder and Director, Elastic City; Mishiba Taylor, Bohlmann Tower Resident, beautician and participant in Welcome Stranger.

This panel discussion will focus on community-based art projects, investigating the role that artists, communities and organizations play in socially-driven work. Panel participants will discuss the critical and reflexive potential of public projects, while questioning the capacity, obstacles and impact of participatory and socially engaged works today. The talk will use Peekskill, New York as a point of departure in a broader conversation addressing the role of contemporary art in everyday life and the value of integrating art within urban communities in meaningful ways.

Taking Up Space, a nomadic series of four panel discussions, is organized to coincide with the 6^th edition of the Peekskill Project, the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art’s citywide public art festival devoted to bringing contemporary art out of the museum and into the community. This series of talks will run throughout the duration of the festival, September through December 2015, and will be hosted by several institutions in New York City and Peekskill, including ISCP, HVCCA and The Clemente/Artists Alliance Inc.

Fall Open Studios 2015

The International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP) Fall Open Studios is a two-day exhibition of international contemporary art. The thirty-five artists and curators from fifteen 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 the creative process than ever before. ISCP invites the public to studio visits to experience art in its place of origin and to share conversations with artists and curators from all over the world.

The group exhibition, Aqueous Earth, will be open and on view in the second floor gallery space. Artists: Allora & Calzadilla, Lara Almarcegui, Brandon Ballengée, Dylan Gauthier, Brooke Singer and Pinar Yoldas. Curator: Kari Conte.

In addition, a new micro-exhibition venue in the first-floor project space, organized by a group of seven curators from the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College (CCS), launches during Open Studios weekend. The first of seven exhibitions features work by Mario Navarro.

Artists and curators participating in Open Studios:

Tony Albert (Australia), Henni Alftan (Finland), Iliana Antonova (Canada), Julie Béna (France), Carl Boutard (Sweden), Elaine Byrne (Ireland), Naomi Campbell (United States), Lourdes Correa-Carlo (United States), Donald Hải Phú Daedalus (United States), Sara Eliassen (Norway), Nicole Franchy (United States and Peru), Dylan Gauthier (United States), Hulda Guzmán (Dominican Republic), Mark Hilton (United States), Jytte Høy (Denmark), Saskia Janssen ( The Netherlands), Sophie Jung (Luxembourg), Jean-Paul Kelly (Canada), Aleksander Komarov (Germany), Lilian Kreutzberger ( The Netherlands), Mårten Lange (Sweden), So Yoon Lym (United States), Pepe Mar (United States), Ingo Mittelstaedt (Germany), Roger Mortimer (New Zealand), Bastian Muhr (Germany), Astrid Myntekær (Denmark), Anne Neukamp (Germany), Natalie Hope O’Donnell (Norway), Liutauras Psibilskis (United States), Aviva Rahmani (United States), Maruša Sagadin (Austria), Annesofie Sandal (Denmark), Jacolby Satterwhite (United States), Maximiliano Siñani (United States and Bolivia)

Staging

Staging takes the form of seven successive micro-exhibitions from November 2015 to June 2016, each presenting a project by a single artist developed with a curator from the Class of 2016 at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College (CCS Bard). A square white platform in the center of the ISCP first floor project space orients each artist’s contribution to the program. This structure stages the individual exhibitions in space, establishing an environment to work within and around, which activates the room itself. Presentations of work by both ISCP residents and New York City-based artists, which can include commissions, previously existing work, or some combination therein, will occupy the space with a new exhibition each month.

Organized by Benjamin Austin, Christian Camacho-Light, Rosario Güiraldes, Emma James, Humberto Moro, Yanhan Peng and Rachael Rakes from the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College.
