Virtual Tour and Artist Discussion: The Earth Is Blue Like an Orange

ISCP Talk

Artists at Work: Assaf Evron on Instagram Live

Artist-in-residence Assaf Evron discusses his research on the ancient worship practices of imbuing stones with meaning with Alison Kuo, ISCP Arts Residency Manager.

Evron and Kuo speak about how shrines or objects of worship are connected to the contemporary idea of a readymade. Evron will show documentation of open sanctuaries in desert landscapes, Roman coins depicting monuments, and 7th century B.C. stones representing female lepers. He will also share insights from previous conversations with archeologists and discuss how these sites can be thought of through the linguistic concepts of abstraction and signification. A Q&A with the audience will follow.

Tune into the Instagram Live here on Tuesday, January 26th from 4-5pm.

This Artists at Work is introduced by Hillit Zwick, Executive Director of Artis, Evron’s residency sponsor at ISCP. Artis is an independent, nonprofit organization based in New York, and supports contemporary artists from Israel whose work addresses aesthetic, social, and political questions that inspire reflection and debate.

Assaf Evron is an artist and a photographer based in Chicago. His work investigates the nature of vision and the ways in which it reflects in socially constructed structures. He applies photographic thinking in various two and three-dimensional media. Evron questions the construction of individual and collective identities, immigration of people, ideas, images, and representations of democracy. He has exhibited work at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Spencer Museum of Art, Lawrence, Kansas; and The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, among others.

This program is also supported by Artis; New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; New York City Council District 34; New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; NYC COVID-19 Response and Impact Fund in The New York Community Trust; Hartfield Foundation; Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation; The Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation; and VIA Art Fund.

ISCP Talk
December 8, 2020, 4–5pm

Virtual Tour and Artist Discussion: The Earth Is Blue Like an Orange

Alexandra Sloan Friedman, organizer of The Earth Is Blue Like an Orange, will give a comprehensive tour of the exhibition now on view in ISCP’s gallery via Instagram Live. She will be joined remotely by participating artists, Svetlana Bailey, Moko Fukuyama, Wieteke Heldens, Alison Nguyen, and Habby Osk, who will speak about their work in the exhibition and engage in conversation with Alexandra in five minute intervals. The Earth Is Blue Like an Orange, a title derived from poetry by French surrealist Paul Éluard (1895-1952), evokes the collective memory of 2020 through eight artists’ differing viewpoints. In an unparalleled period characterized by the COVID-19 pandemic, and a heightened collective awareness of widespread racial injustice, the individual works reflect a range of concepts and emotions.

Tune into the Instagram Live here on Tuesday, December 8, at 4pm.

The exhibition is on view through December 10. Please write to info@iscp-nyc.org to schedule an appointment. The number of visitors to ISCP galleries will be limited, with timed viewing. Visitor protocols are in the Visit section of the website here.

This program is supported by Alice and Lawrence Weiner; New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; New York City Council District 34; New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; NYC COVID-19 Response and Impact Fund in The New York Community Trust; William Talbott Hillman Foundation; Hartfield Foundation; Mondriaan Fund; Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation; Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF); and VIA Art Fund.
