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.
Stina Puotinen
Stina Puotinen was born in New York City, raised in Baltimore, and has been back in Brooklyn since 2004. She received her BA in Art History at Vassar College, and fell into the world of Museum Education as her career, though secretly moonlighting as an artist and curator all the while. She has worked as an Educator at several leading arts institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Jewish Museum, the Noguchi Museum, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and currently works in the Education Department of the Whitney Museum of American Art. Born out of her work in Museums, literally and ideologically, is her work as Co-Founder and Co-Artistic Director of CHERYL, a four-member, semi-anonymous, often cat-masked artist collective based in Brooklyn, and the recent launch of the creative collaborative and curatorial production team, Limited Time Only.
