Saturday–Sunday, April 27–28, 1–7pm
The Austrian Cultural Forum is pleased to support the International Studio & Curatorial Program’s (ISCP) Spring Open Studios – a three-day exhibition of international contemporary art. The 27 artists, art collectives, and curators from 20 countries currently in reside nce at ISCP 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 artistic process than ever before. Open Studios invites the public to 27 “studio visits” to experience art in its place of origin and to share conversations with artists from all over the world.
Opening alongside Open Studios, the exhibition New Eyes for New Spaces curated by Francesca Sonara and Jess Wilcox presents works by Patricia Dauder, David Horvitz, Antonio Rovaldi, Austin Shull, and Hong-Kai Wang in collaboration with Anne Callahan, Brendan Dalton and Jordan Paul. The included artists actively investigate, abstract, and fragment representations of place by intervening with information culled from photographs, video, or sound recordings, effectively focusing the viewers’ attention on the gap between what is seen and what is imagined. This exhibition unravels how technological advancements of the last ten years have changed not only how we conceive of site, but also how we perceive it.
The current Austrian artist-in-residence is Isa Rosenberger, whose video Espiral – A Dance of Death in 8 Scenes (pictured) was shown in the Austrian Cultural Forum’s 2012 exhibition, It’s the Political Economy, Stupid.
