This event has ended.
The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) announces 00:0_, a solo exhibition of works by Carlos Franco, ISCP artist-in-residence. The exhibition centers around an interactive installation that highlights the hyperactive consumption of images through digital devices that interface with our daily lives.
For Franco, the pieces that constitute 00:0_ are micro essays attuned to contemporary attention spans; they reflect our lopsided cultural landscape. He refers to philosopher Byung-Chul Han’s discussion of mediated information in The Scent of Time: “[it] does not possess any narrative width or breadth. It is neither centered, nor does it have a direction…. An altogether different temporality is inherent in information.” Franco adds, “How many moments are in one second?”
Carlos Franco is a Brooklyn-based artist and a resident in ISCP’s Ground Floor program from 2020-21. Franco has exhibited work at Diego Rivera Gallery, San Francisco; Nikolaj Kunsthallen, Copenhagen; and The Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art (BICA), among others.
