Independent Curators International (ICI) supports the work of curators to help create stronger art communities through experimentation, collaboration, and international engagement. Curators are arts community leaders and organizers who champion artistic practice; build essential infrastructures and institutions; and generate public engagement with art. Our collaborative programs connect curators across generations, and across social, political and cultural borders. They form an international framework for sharing knowledge and resources — promoting cultural exchange, access to art, and public awareness for the curator’s role.
Martyn Richard Coppell
Martyn Richard Coppell is a London and Berlin based curator, writer and editor. His practice is concerned with interrogating the politics of architecture and performance, looking at the implications of the changing perception of the body in Western society; how the architectural object is conceptualized and politicized and the aesthetics of resistance and protest in performance. Martyn holds an MA (Hons.) in Curating Contemporary Art from the Royal College of Art, London and a BA (Hons.) in History of Art and Architecture from Liverpool School of Art.
