International Society of Copier Artists (Brooklyn, New York)
Biography
The International Society of Copier Artists (also known as I.S.C.A) was a non-profit group founded in 1981 by Louise Neaderland. I.S.C.A was created to promote works from photocopier artists, which were artists that used the copier as a camera to scan and print experimental and original compositions which were signed and limited edition. Their membership mainly consisted of women.
I.S.C.A advocated that xerographic art was a legitimate art form and should be recognized. They're well known for producing the magazine The I.S.C.A Quarterly which published from 1982-2003, coordinating exhibitions starring xerographic art, and distribution of The I.S.C.A newsletter. This collection was donated by Neaderland herself, an MFA alumni from the University of Iowa class of 1957.
