Curatorial Intensive New York Summer 2012

Jul 8 – 17, 2012

New York, NY, USA

New York, NY

In recognizing that there are few opportunities for professionals to receive practical training and guidance while also holding down a job, ICI's Curatorial Intensive targets self-motivated individuals — working independently or in institutions — who would benefit from a week of intensive conversations around the issues and questions that regularly arise for curators. These questions range from the pragmatics of developing an exhibition and building working relationships with artists to the theoretical aspects of understanding how to turn a concept into a project and effectively communicate ideas.

Focusing on new models for curating and exhibition development, ICI’s annual summer Curatorial Intensive offers curators the opportunity to meet colleagues from around the world and share ideas on how to push the parameters of their practice.
