ISCP's current residents Elli Kuruş and Gian Maria Tosatti will talk about their ongoing research and work.
About
Elli Kuruş will speak about her ongoing research on the blockchain as a utopian model of self-governance. The blockchain is part of a technical infrastructure that drives systems such as the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, and is a site where the relationship between politics and infrastructure is continually renegotiated and contested. In her practice, Elli Kuruş utilizes installation, video, drawing and lecture performances to build speculative narratives which critically examine the development of media and technology.
Gian Maria Tosatti will speak about his work related to communities and identity. He will show video documentation of his last installation for the project Sette Stagioni dello Spirito, made in Naples between 2013 and 2016. He will also speak about his current work in progress that reflects on the building of the United States by diverse populations.
This program is supported, in part, by New York City Council District 34, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council and New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
