What’s first is a game, a struggle, a journey.”—Guy Debord Seeking the initial moment described by Debord, FREE PLAY explores the work of artists who borrow from play and games to reveal social, philosophical, and cultural issues. From playfulness to mathematical strategy, the artists in FREE PLAY have mined the significance of games, reinventing them to create experiences, often meant to involve the viewer, that reflect on the nature of participation in art.

In 2010, ICI launched PROJECT 35, a program of single-channel videos selected by 35 international curators who each chose one work from an artist they think is important for audiences around the world to experience today. The resulting selection was presented in more than 30 venues around the globe, at times simultaneously, inspiring shared discourse in places as varied as Berlin, Germany; Cape Town, South Africa; Lagos, Nigeria; , California; New Orleans, Louisiana; Skopje, Macedonia; Storrs, Connecticut; Taipei, Taiwan; and Tirana, Albania. Following the widespread popularity and success of the first exhibition, ICI has collaborated with 35 more international curators to produce PROJECT 35: VOLUME 2.

Both hailed and derided by artists and crit- ics, the exhibition was the largest, most expensive and most diverse of any exhibition anywhere, and foreshadowed all large-scale, collaboratively curated, comprehensive mega-shows to come. Perhaps the most famous curator of the last 50 years, curator Harald Szeemann was a central focus of the restaging of his pioneering exhibition, WHEN ATTITUDES BECOME FORM at the Foundation, in Venice last year. His archive and library were recently acquired by the Getty Research Institute, to be mined by art historians and curators for years to come.

The image shows him bare- chested with sadomasochistic garb. I decided to take this investigating pragmatic and philosophical approaches that appeared with the emergence of feminism and address issues of gender and identity. In the course of the last months, this research has been growing toward by artists around the existence of their practice outside of the exhibition space. More precisely, it addresses the way founded the Clark House Initiative in 2010, a curatorial artists have worked on modes of exposing themselves or their work through further media—in magazines, websites, or any form of documentation. These questions surrounding the perception of the artwork or artistic practice outside the exhibition space Miguel Amado echo conversations I have recently had with a younger generation of artists (Timur Si-Qin, Antoine Catala, Ian Cheng, Stewart Uoo, and Anicka Yi). Within their working process, they take into account the conditions of how is focused on Portuguese-speaking countries in Africa, their work is perceived. Some of them developed an as they are currently developing their institutions and acute awareness for materials such as press releases, which surround the exhibition, others devote strong attention to the documentation of their works, knowing that the widest audience is to be found online. 2014, he presented his research in the Curatorial Miguel Amado: Report from Angola and Mozambique

and has also worked independently on numerous Eurocentric approaches to art history.

This idea of “parallelism” has been with me for a while, but was again activated by a visit to the 48 Cantones government in Totonicapan. It was a simple visit that showed how a political force could function in parallel to an understood hegemonic governmental power. The 48 Cantones, in short, is a centuries-old Mayan governmen- Guatemalan government, albeit non-national. Where the state is organized formally through the Guatemalan gov- ernment, society is seemingly organized politically and socially through 48 Cantones.

I met with a young woman recently appointed to to be elected into the post in a world that is strictly male. She introduced a publication to transcribe oral record- ings of forgotten kids’ stories, translated into Spanish and Quiché, which has become a very powerful document holding a memory of a culture on the verge of being for- gotten if ‘art’ does not come in its way. She tells me she has a strong belief in what art can do to keep such stories alive.—

CURATOR’S PERSPECTIVE The CURATOR’S PERSPECTIVE is a free, itinerant public discussion series ICI developed as a way for international curators to share their interests and experiences with audiences in New York. These talks provide an opportunity to access information about a wide variety of international perspectives on art today. This year, curators based in Buenos Aires, Glasgow, Seoul, and Utrecht will talk about art, culture, and the exhibitions in which they are most interested at the moment, as well as the artists and the socio-political contexts that are shaping curatorial practice now.

In 2011, ICI launched a new publication series, SOURCEBOOK, dedicated to contem- porary artists’ personal perspectives on social, political, and cultural issues. Edited by an artist, each book in the series is a collection of primary research materials consisting of rare archival documents, artwork studies, and excerpts of landmark publications se- lected from their own archive, annotated with personal commentary. The Sourcebook series follows the development of an artist’s oeuvre through the very material that inspires and influences it. Following the success of the inaugural MARTHA WILSON SOURCEBOOK, ICI is developing the second issue with ALLEN RUPPERSBERG.
