Recognizing the need to support curatorial talent and provide low-cost
practical
training in the current economic climate, Independent Curators International
(ICI) initiated the Curatorial Intensive?the first major short-course
training
program for emerging curators in the United States. Last year ICI
organized two
iterations of the Curatorial Intensive, bringing 31 curators from 14
countries
and 13 states to New York to develop ideas for exhibitions and strengthen
their
curatorial thinking.

This summer, 10-14 curators from around the world will be selected from an
open
competition to participate in the next Curatorial Intensive for a rigorous
8-day
schedule of workshops, discussions, critiques, and presentations, as well as
site visits to local institutions, private collections, and artists' studios.
Teachers and advisors for this program include independent curators Cecilia
Alemani and Regine Basha; Kate Fowle, Executive Director, ICI; Sofia
Hernandez
Chong Cuy, Curator of Contemporary Art, Coleccion Patricia Phelps de
Cisneros;
Matthew Higgs, Director and Chief Curator, White Columns; and Christian
Rattemeyer, Associate Curator, Department of Drawings, MoMA.


After the New York phase of the project is complete, ICI will continue
working
with participants long-distance to finalize their proposals for
publication on
ICI's website, so broad publics, as well as the hundreds of institutions with
which ICI works, can view the final proposals.

Application Guidelines
Please visit ICI's website to apply for the Curatorial Intensive online.
Applications must include a 300-word description of an exhibition idea
that the
applicant would like help in developing. This description should cover an
exhibition concept and any artists that the applicant is considering for
inclusion. Also required is a current resume, a short letter of intent that
outlines why the applicant wants to participate in the program, and an
example
of a recent exhibition that has made an impact on the applicant.


Fees and Scholarships
The program fee is 1,500 USD. Participants are responsible for covering
travel
and accommodation expenses. ICI also offers generous scholarship packages,
subsidizing or eliminating the program fees and travel expenses of four
program
participants.

About the Curatorial Intensive
The Curatorial Intensive is ICI's short-term, low-cost training program that
offers emerging curators the chance to develop exhibition ideas and make
connections to professionals in the field. It provides the opportunity for
peer-group education, forging new networks between aspiring curators
internationally. The Curatorial Intensive takes place twice annually in New
York, and in other locations in conjunction with institutional partners
worldwide.

The Curatorial Intensive was developed by ICI's Executive Director, Kate
Fowle,
who joined the organization after working as the International Curator at the
Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing. Prior to her time in China,
Fowle
spent 6 years in San Francisco at the California College of the Arts,
where she
was the director of the MA Program in Curatorial Practice, which she
founded in
2002 with Ralph Rugoff.


The Curatorial Intensive is made possible, in part, by grants from the Robert
Sterling Clark Foundation, the Dedalus Foundation, the Helena Rubinstein
Foundation, and the Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation; and by generous
contributions from Toby Devan Lewis, James Cohan, and the supporters of ICI's
Access Fund.
