The Curator’s Perspective is a free, itinerant public discussion series ICI developed as a way for international curators to share their research and experiences with audiences in New York. Through these talks, ICI has begun to assemble documents and disseminate a wide variety of international perspectives on art today. Since its inception in 2009, audiences have heard perspectives on art, culture, and exhibition making from curators based in cities such as Stockholm, Guatemala City, Jerusalem, Tokyo, Mexico City, and Kassel, to name just a few. This year, curators from around the world will talk about what they’re most interested in at the moment, including the artists and the sociopolitical contexts that are shaping practices now.
The Curator’s Perspective series has been made possible, in part, by grants from the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation and by generous contributions from the ICI Board of Trustees and ICI Access Fund.
