The International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) is pleased to announce Atlantic-Pacific co by ISCP artist-in-residence Minja Gu. Atlantic-Pacific co engages the public in the creation of a 17th century trading company, bringing attention to the ways regionally specific products introduce us to different cultures.

Taking ocean exploration in the age of discovery as a starting point, artist Minja Gu compares Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street in Brooklyn to their respective oceans in her latest work, Atlantic-Pacific co. Founded in 2011 in New York City, Atlantic-Pacific co, is an international trading company specializing in rare products. Items were gathered from expeditions on Atlantic (Ave) and Pacific (St) by a group of voyagers (native New Yorkers), with the intent of learning about area specific customs and products. Atlantic-Pacific co presents items from the voyagers’ collection and displays the logbook telling the story of their explorations at Moore St. Market in Brooklyn.
