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.
Mathieu Copeland
Mathieu Copeland (b. 1977, lives in London) has been developing a practice seeking to subvert the traditional role of exhibitions and to renew our perceptions of these. Amongst many others, he co-curated the exhibition ‘VOIDS, A Retrospective’ at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Kunsthalle in Bern, and edited the anthology ‘VOIDS’. He curated ‘A Choreographed Exhibition’ at the Kunsthalle St Gallen & Ferme du Buisson, ‘Soundtrack for an Exhibition’ at the Musee d’Art Contemporain Lyon. He curated and initiated the series ‘A Spoken Word Exhibitions’, ‘Reprise’ and the ‘Exhibitions to Hear Read’ - three volumes so far, all recently at the ICA in Philadelphia this February 2012. Forthcoming exhibition include ‘Phill Niblock - a retrospective’ (Fall 2012), ‘A Film’s Exhibition’ (Fall 2012), and upcoming publications include ‘Gustav Metzger - writings, letters, conferences and interviews 1953 - 2012’ and ‘Choreographing an Exhibition’, to be published in the spring of 2012.
