Our exhibitions access crucial developments in the field of contemporary art, and are now conceived to involve presenters and viewers more, and to be as affordable as possible. We promote more collaboration with host institutions, encourage them to modify exhibitions, and work with a range of contemporary art curators to create new flexible projects.

The Curator’s Perspective is an itinerant public discussion series taking place in a variety of venues throughout New York, featuring an international curator who distills current happenings in contemporary art, including the artists they are excited by, exhibitions that have made them think, and their views on recent developments in the art world.

Through ICI on the Move, ICI is expanding its public programming reach nationally, working with venues that host our traveling exhibitions, developing visiting curator tours, and organizing public discussions at art fairs to bring emerging and established practitioners together to exchange ideas and share their experiences.

The Curatorial Intensive is a low-cost, short-term vocational training program that brings aspiring curators to New York to develop an exhibition proposal under the close guidance of ICI’s network. This program provides emerging talent the opportunity to connect with established professionals and forge networks to other aspiring curators.

ICI’s annual New York Studio Events series not only grants you intimate access to your favorite artists year round, but also helps ICI respond to the rapidly developing art world of today, ensuring that we connect you with momentous practitioners at the exact time they are presenting significant works.

The Artist Video Profiles are a set of fourteen short films depicting contemporary artists discussing their creative methods and techniques in their private work settings. Created in partnership with Talking Point Films, LLC, the Artist Video Profiles were filmed in artists’ studios during the Fall of 2007 and the Spring of 2008.

DISPATCH is ICI’s new bi-monthly online journal that features a different curator’s points of view on current developments in art. Practitioners based in different cities around the world are invited to use DISPATCH as their virtual base, building their research over time through text, image, and video.
