Curatorial Intensive New York Summer 2010

Jun 6 – 17, 2010

New York, NY, USA

New York, NY

The first iteration of Independent Curators International's (ICI) Curatorial Intensive took place on June 2010 in New York and is geared toward emerging curators. From an open competition, 17 individuals are selected to come to New York and work with some of today's leading curators and artists. Through a rigorous schedule of workshops, discussions, and critiques, as well as site visits to local institutions and artists' studios, each participant is led through the process of developing an exhibition idea into a full exhibition proposal.

After the New York phase of the project, ICI will continue to work with participants long-distance to finalize their proposals. The Curatorial Intensive, organized in partnership with the CUE Art Foundation, utilizes the foundation's virtual gallery as a platform for participants to publish their proposals online so that the broad public and the hundreds of institutions with which ICI works can view the final proposals.
