The ISCP in Brooklyn is opening its doors again for studio visits from May 7th to 16th. The artists involved are both emerging and established artists from around the world. I have visited ISCP sometime back and visited a few artist studios for a show that I was working on curating. The building is divided into moderate sized rooms, enough for artists to work comfortably in (generally speaking).  There is an open communal space with a cozy little couch and kitchen for artists to gather and mingle, all under a pale skylight. I was also impressed by the books that were sitting on their shelf, full of art, theory, and rare philosophy titles.  Overall the ISCP studios are really thought out and inviting to both artists and visitors. I also had a pleasant experience with the staff when I inquired information about the programs that they offer.

Open Studios goes on for 10 days, with a chance to meet and talk with 41 international contemporary artists, residents, and curators at ISCP. It’s an opportunity to peek into the process behind dedicated artists and why they chose to be a residency of New York. (above image courtesy ISCP)
