The International Studio & Curatorial Program - ISCP

USA

ISCP invited artist Cem Örgen from Türkiye to participate in the program’s March-May 2025 period, following the open call made between 11 October and 1 November 2024. During his residency in New York, Örgen plans to explore new research and create three-dimensional works that delve into the phenomenon of birds—symbols of freedom and hope—colliding with skyscrapers due to their reflective surfaces, by approaching preventive regulations, and focus on the poetic moments surrounding this moment of collusion.
