ICI and Coast Contemporary have partnered to invite two Curatorial Research Travelers, who are alumni of ICI's curatorial programs, to participate in the 2023 edition of Coast Contemporary.
Coast Contemporary is a nomadic platform for discourse and art that brings together Norwegian and international curators, artists, and cultural workers for a multi-day program of performances, talks, screenings, and a conference program along the coast of Norway. Coast Contemporary fosters international exchange between colleagues and prospective collaborators by slowing down and making space for new connections. The venues and curatorial focus change for every edition. The guest curator for the seventh edition is Valentinas Klimašauskas, curator, writer, and co-curator of the Lithuanian pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale.
Coast Contemporary 2023 takes place in the Lofoten Islands in the county of Nordland in the north of Norway from Monday, September 18 to Friday, September 22, 2023. For more information on previous programs, participating artists and institutions, and to learn more about the 2023 edition, please visit coastcontemporary.no.
Travel and accommodation will be provided by the Norwegian Consulate General in New York.
