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.

In 1990, as part of Laurie Simmons’ expanded series “Walking Objects,” she created Walking Petit Four as an edition in support of ICI. This truly remarkable image is embedded with ideas that cut through the artist’s entire body of work. Of particular interest are the willfully ambiguous interplay between objects, figures, and backgrounds that take on strange powers in Simmons’ photographs.
Laurie Simmons constructs and photographs voyeuristic scenes of dreamlike distortions. in 2006, she created the film, The Music of Regret,, a mini-musical in three acts, which premiered at the Museum of Modern Art and featured musicians, professional puppeteers, Alvin Ailey dancers, and actress Meryl Streep. This work one of the works featured in ICI’s touring exhibition, Performance Now, curated by Performa’s RoseLee Goldberg.
