Temple Bar Gallery + Studios announces the recipient of the ISCP Residency 2025

In September 2025, Eva Richardson McCrea will spend three months in residence at ISCP in Brooklyn, New York. This residency awards an artist with a high-quality studio; a travel, accommodation and living stipend; in addition to studio visits and off-site trips to museums, galleries and other cultural organisations. It supports an artist at a pivotal point in their practice with significant experience on a programme designed to build international links through a growing network of artists and curators who are ISCP alumni.

Working across video, sculpture and photography Eva Richardson McCrea’s practice takes specific sites as points of departure into exploring the politics of the built environment and its role in the production of contemporary subjectivities and social relations. Layering both real and fictional elements, and borrowing conventions from television, documentary, cinema, and theatre, Eva Richardson McCrea’s work draws on a range of source material from philosophy and current affairs to the language of advertising and aspirational living.
