Issey Scott
Issey Scott is an art writer and occasional curator, based in London, especially interested in how bodily concerns including illness, disability and health are communicated aesthetically. Her postgraduate thesis looked into the contemporary visual culture of happiness, and how contrived images are inherently ableist under late-stage capitalism. Her work interrogates the ways in which contemporary artists depict the body in unconventional ways, and has recently written about artists including Zoe Williams, R.I.P Germain, Abi Palmer, and Morgane Billuart to expand upon these narratives.
Issey Scott’s (*1994, London) writing has appeared in publications including Candid Magazine, The Big Issue, RIBA, Floorr Magazine and Cluster Journal. Scott has curated projects at South London Gallery, Anise Gallery, Museum of the Home, arebyte and Lewisham Arthouse and has produced exhibition texts for Luis De Jesus (Los Angeles, USA), Spazio VEDA (Florence, IT), Castor Gallery and Wimbledon Space (both London, UK). She holds an MA in Contemporary Art Theory from Goldsmiths, University of London, with a dissertation entitled, Repudiating the Visual Language of Happiness: Challenging the Social and Aesthetic Parameters of 'Happiness' Under Ableist Conditions. She can be found at @postartclarity on Instagram and Substack.

Charlie Stein
Charlie Stein is a visual artist and scholar. Her practice encompasses drawings, installations, sculptures, paintings and text, which question existing modes of perception within the context of a highly digitized, visually overstimulated world. Stein’s focus lies on social structures, digital media and contemporary forms of communication, utilizing mediums such as filter technology, blockchain, artificial intelligence and social media to explore the intersection of painting and technology. She holds a postgraduate and graduate degree in Fine Art from the State Academy in Stuttgart, Germany, as well as a graduate degree in Social Sciences and English at the University of Stuttgart. Stein also works as a guest lecturer for the School of Digital Innovation Berlin and at the HfBK Hamburg, where she is a guest professor for painting and drawing.
Charlie Stein (German, b. 1986) lives and works in Berlin. She has given lectures at Pratt Institute in New York, E-Artsup-Paris and led the seminar "Painting in the Context of Contemporary Art" in 2022 at the HfBK Hamburg. In 2024 Stein was a recipient of the ISCP program in New York and in 2022, she was awarded a grant from the Stiftung Kunstfonds Berlin. Her work has been showcased internationally at venues such as Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery in London, the Songjiang Art Museum in Shanghai, the Museum Villa Merkel in Esslingen, and the Sculpture dTriennial in Bingen.

Tim Wilson
Tim Wilson's paintings are figurative, naturalistic, and imbued with a heightened sense of their materiality. Wilson takes the seemingly banal and everyday as his subject, asking us to pause and give attention to these neglected glimpses of everyday life. Depicting transitional spaces such as staircases, foyers, and motel rooms, we are given snapshot-like impressions of views that are highly subjective to the artist and yet do not feel unfamiliar to the viewer. With a bluntly applied saturated color palette, at times brushed with a softly blurred touch, his paintings evoke a dreamlike quality; as he describes it, "I'm attempting to construct a transcendental hearth for the viewer." Through the coming together of a photographic or filmic framing and a painterly mix of sfumato and alla prima, Wilson creates an image-world that makes visible the magic and timelessness of the mundane.
Tim Wilson (b. 1970, Newport News, Virginia) currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He holds an MFA from Yale University School of Art and a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. Wilson has been awarded several residencies, including at Sol LeWitt Studio in 2019, and is represented by Nathalie Karg Gallery in New York. His work has also been reviewed in such publications as Artforum, The New Criterion, and The Brooklyn Rail.
Launched in 2024 we host an ongoing residency program for artists and writers in Vienna, Austria.
We provide a space in which participants can work, free from outside expectations or deadlines.
Note: all residencies are by invitation, please do not send unsolicited applications
