Artists and curators at ISCP are invited to present their work to the public. Valerio Rocco Orlando presents 'A Lover's Discourse'; starting from the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy's theories about being-in-common, his intent is to demonstrate the importance of reciprocity and interchange with 'the other'. Stuart Ringholt's art practice grapples with our social environment, exploring ideas of perception and states of consciousness.
Artists and curators at ISCP are invited to present their recent work to the public in the semi-monthly public Salons. Participants present film screenings, performances, small exhibitions, formal lectures, and a number of hybrid formats. Besides from introducing the residents’ practice to the audience, these presentations are important social events encouraging conversation and exchange of ideas among the ISCP residents and the public.
VALERIO ROCCO ORLANDO: 'A Lover's Discourse'
During a six months residency at ISCP, I’m creating a new series of works about Love. My purpose is to explore all the changes and correspondences experienced inside the identity of a couple. Starting from the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy’s theories about being-in-common and the dynamics of self-reflection and sharing coexisting in a web of relations, my intent is to demonstrate the fundamental importance of reciprocity and interchange with “the other” in order to evolve and build up one own identity and self awareness.
Valerio Rocco Orlando works across a range of media including film, video, and photography. His installations show articulated compositions made of cinematic and emotional portraits. Inspired by the evolution of identitary dynamics in contemporary society, Orlando's research explores the relations between individual and collective memory, as well as the changes induced by social relationships in the process of identity formation.

STUART RINGHOLT
Ringholt’s interdisciplinary art practice grapples with our social environment, exploring ideas of perception and states of consciousness. With uncomfortable honesty, he highlights awkward interpersonal interactions, revealing complex networks between individuals and communities. At the recent Sydney Biennale, Ringholt facilitated 50 Anger Workshops with 400 people participating. In 2010 Ringholt will participate in the Adelaide Biennial and present a solo show ‘Vitrines’ at Anna Schwartz Gallery, Sydney. His work has been profiled in Artforum and Frieze. Ringholt is represented by Anna Schwartz Gallery.
