French artist and current resident Olivier Babin will show his work. Born in 1975 in Dijon, France, Babin graduated from the Universite de Bourgogne in 1998. He recently presented a solo exhibition at Honor Fraser gallery in Los Angeles as well as at Seomi & Tuus gallery in Seoul, Korea. Another recent exhibition was presented at Galerie Frank Elbaz in Paris, France. He has participated in many group exhibitions in such places as Palais de Tokyo and Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and Artists Space in New York.

In addition, ISCP proudly presents the exhibition Financial District, organized by Miguel Amado, curator-in-residence in 2009. The Financial District marks the urban landscape of all major American cities. More than an architectural feature or a geographical location, the Financial District represents an ideology, that of the ‘new spirit of capitalism’, which has developed over the past decades and has been recently questioned in the wake of the current financial crisis. Financial District brings together residents at ISCP, as well as New York-based and international artists whose work enthusiasts access to cutting-edge contemporary art from around the world. Free to the public, these events provide an exclusive peek into the production, process and personal archives of globally celebrated artists.
