Opening Reception: Friday, April 17, 6–9pm Open Hours: Saturday, April 18, 1–6pm

The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) Spring Open Studios is a presentation of international contemporary art by the 32 artists and curators from 25 countries in residence. Guest speaker curator Christiane Paul, will make remarks at 7pm during the opening reception.

This event is free and open to the public.

Three times a year, ISCP invites the public to engage with its cohort of international artist and curator residents in their individual studios. Residents present recent projects, work in progress, site-specific installations and their archives to a large audience of professionals and art enthusiasts from New York and beyond. Concentrated in a three-story postindustrial loft building in East Williamsburg, ISCP supports the creative advancement of artists and curators from around the world, presents exhibitions and talks year-round, and fosters cultural exchange. From 1994 to the present, ISCP has hosted over 2,000 alumni hailing from more than 105 countries. Today, ISCP’s Open Studios, a three-decade tradition, continues to be the organization’s signature event.

Visitors can also explore two exhibitions: Alice Wang: Windstorm on Saturn, Basalt Columns, MDMA, Serotonin curated by Melinda Lang, Director of Programs and Exhibitions, and Bryan Fernandez: En tránsito, curated by Zuna Maza. Through a scientific, speculative, and diaristic lens, Wang’s films, sculptures and prints probe mysteries of the natural world, tracing connections between the known and the unknown. Transforming the gallery into a quiet landscape, Wang explores the intelligence of nature, with the hexagon as the central form. In En tránsito (in transit), Fernandez presents works that center layered representations of his Dominican community—people whose experiences, histories, and cultural expressions are often flattened by mainstream media and colonial and anti-Black narratives.
