2024/12- ISCP Artist in Residence & Artist Talk

In December 2024, artist Frank WANG Yefeng returned to the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in Brooklyn, New York, for an Alumni Residency, where he continued developing works that investigate the “in-betweenness” of a transnational, nomadic existence. His multidisciplinary practice, spanning sculpture, 3D animation, video installation, painting, and drawing, blends physical and digital realms to examine identity, displacement, and the alienation of people and objects within global cultural and technological narratives.

As part of the residency, WANG presented recent projects in conversation with curator Xiaoyu Weng, including Groundless Flowers, a new work created during his time at ISCP. Their discussion explored his engagement with “nomadism” and “in-betweenness,” and how these concepts informed his approach to storytelling, materiality, and spatial installation, concluding with a Q&A session with the audience.
