About the Exhibition:

This group exhibition brings together more than twenty New York-based artists whose works engage diverging conceptual approaches to abstract painting and question the fundamental roots of the medium’s modernist legacies. Renegotiating histories of painting with a mixture of both irony and sincerity, these artists appropriate aspects of non-narrative abstraction as “ready-made” vocabularies to be reinvented. Whether resulting from detached and mechanized modes of production or more direct, hand-rendered means, the works’ formal gestural qualities are offered up in relation to conceptual, minimalist, process, and pop art traditions. Curated by Debra Singer, the exhibition runs from November 13, 2009 through January 16, 2010. Exhibition Hours: Tues - Fri, 12-6 pm; Sat 11-6 pm FREE

This exhibition is made possible with generous support from the Dedalus Foundation, Inc., and with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.

New York, November 9 – The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) proudly announces “Miguel Amado Presents”, a project organized by Miguel Amado, 2009 curator-in-residence, for ISCP Open Studios. This project brings together New York-based and international artists at room 108 of the ISCP building. The project concludes a series of consecutive weekly one-work solo shows. Every Monday, Miguel Amado has installed a new work, which connected to the previous one and generated new, unexpected meanings. During ISCP Open Studios weekend, all the works will be on view, creating an innovative display. This project is a curatorial experiment, in line with the thought-provoking tradition of ISCP.

Open Studios present works by the 36 artists, artist groups and curators currently in residence at ISCP. Residents of ISCP employ a refreshingly diverse range of styles in the mediums of painting, drawing, photography, video, performance, sculpture and installation, all of which will be on view in their individual studios. Presented twice a year, ISCP Open Studios offer the public, art professionals and other enthusiasts access to cutting-edge contemporary art practices from around the world. These free events provide an exclusive peek into the production, process and personal archives of celebrated artists and curators with global reputations.

For further information, please contact Miguel Amado at miguelamadoprojects@gmail.com or the ISCP at info@iscp-nyc.org or (718) 387-2900.
