Opening Reception of "Compulsive Genius"

Join Fountain House Gallery & Studio for the Opening Reception of "Compulsive Genius: New Work from Fountain House Studio Residents"

On view May 28- July 15, 2026

Compulsive Genius: New Work from Fountain House Studio Artists showcases artists who have completed a Studio residency within the past year. The exhibition is curated by Austin Losada, a scholar and curator of American art and material culture with a specialty in the history of photography from its invention to the present day.

Each year, Fountain House Studio in Long Island City supports 15 to 25 artists through its residency program. Artists apply for a residency with creation of a specific project or body of work in mind. Selected residents are provided with a dedicated workspace and during this time, artists are expected to work a certain number of Studio hours, attend weekly critiques, and hold regular consultations with the Studio Director.

Participating artists: Guiomar Giraldo-Baron, Roger Jones, Maxx Reith, Angela Rogers, Tom Schneider, Alyson Vega, Vermillion, Frankie Silva, Christopher Sybil, and Nelson Wong.

This program is funded, in part, by generous support from the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, the Lily Auchincloss Foundation, Renate, and the Hans and Maria Hofmann Trust.
