Building on its history as a hub for curatorial ideas, ICI is supporting a
new generation of curators to develop exhibition proposals.

The Curatorial Intensive is a short-term, low-cost program taking place this
June in New York for emerging curators across North America. From an open
competition, 6-10 individuals will be selected to come to New York and work
with some of today's leading curators and artists. Through a rigorous
schedule of workshops, discussions and critiques, as well as site visits to
local institutions and artist's studios, each participant will be led
through the process of developing an idea for an exhibition into a full
exhibition proposal. The program will employ ICI's extensive professional
network of advisors and teachers, including Dan Cameron (Founding Director,
Prospect New Orleans); Kate Fowle (Executive Director, ICI); Matthew Higgs
(Director and Chief Curator, White Columns); Eungie Joo (Director and
Curator of Education and Public Programs, New Museum); Maria Lind (Director,
CCS Bard); Nicola Trezzi (US Editor, Flash Art); and Fred Wilson (artist).

After the New York phase of the project is complete, ICI will continue
working with participants long-distance to finalize their proposals. The
Curatorial Intensive has been organized in partnership with the CUE Art
Foundation, who will provide their virtual gallery as a platform for
participants to publish their proposals online so that broad publics, as
well as the hundreds of institutions with which ICI works, can view the
final proposals. 

ICI is uniquely positioned to establish The Curatorial Intensive, having
worked with a wide range of curators to develop innovative traveling
exhibitions. In 35 years ICI has organized 116 shows, which have been
presented in 570 institutions in 47 states and 23 countries worldwide, and
experienced by nearly 6 million people.

The Curatorial Intensive was developed by ICI's Executive Director, Kate
Fowle, who recently joined ICI 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 has been generously supported in part by the ICI
Patrons, Partners and Benefactors, and The Dedalus Foundation.

Application Guidelines:  Applications must include a 300-word description of
an exhibition idea the applicant would like help in developing. Submissions
should include an exhibition concept or key idea, and any artists that the
applicant is considering. Also required is a current resume, plus a short
letter of intent that outlines why applicants want to participate in The
Curatorial Intensive, as well as an example of a recent exhibition that has
made an impact on the applicants.

Application Deadline: March 12, 2010

Fees and Scholarships: The program fee is 1,500 USD. Participants will be
responsible for covering travel and accomodation expenses. In its commitment
to make The Curatorial Intensive accessible to individuals from diverse
economic backgrounds, ICI will offer generous scholarship packages,
subsidizing or eliminating program fees and travel expenses of several
program participants. Visit ICI's website for further details.

Program Dates: June 6-15, 2010
