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.

Blue Star Contemporary
San Antonio, TX, United States
March 3, 2016 - May 8, 2016
For do it, Blue Star has gathered instructions into groupings, some that will exist already completed in the gallery space and some for visitors to complete.
The Person You Are, The Person You Could Be centers on the theme of self reflection and alterations. Some instructions are existential and some are more direct changes and interventions to the physical self.
The Calculated Image grouping features instructions that or more precise in nature, resulting in an image or object that is very directed by the instructions with a more specified outcome.
Performance Party is a selection of instruction visitors will experience as one-offs and during the opening and public programs.
Lastly, visitors will be invited to execute a set of instructions at the upcoming Family Saturday, happening April 9, 2016.
