ICI’s exhibitions, public events, and professional development programs travel to cities around the world, forging lasting curatorial collaborations, and generating new knowledge about art in different cultural contexts. Over time and across borders, ICI programs inform each other to create a multiplicity of perspectives on a subject and reflect the full complexity of art today. For example, ICI has developed over the past year programs that consider Indigenous knowledge systems in curatorial and artistic practices, including a recent Curatorial Intensive in Aotearoa/New Zealand; an upcoming New York program with Wanda Nanibush, an Anishinaabe-kwe curator; SOUNDINGS, an exhibition of new commissions by Indigenous artists from North America, curated by Candice Hopkins and Dylan Robinson; and a CPPC research fellowship supporting Pablo José Ramírez’s curatorial research into Garifuna art and culture. This Spring, ICI will launch an expanded program of Curatorial Research Fellowships that will further this type of accumulation of knowledge across programs, while also supporting curators with professional development and mentorship opportunities. In the Summer we will debut our latest exhibition, SEEING SOUND—curated by Barbara London, a pioneer in the field of new media—that explores the recent trajectory of sound as art through the work of artists from New York, London, Bogotá, Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong. It introduces new technologies, developed by Nokia Bell Labs with the artists in the show, and it builds on ICI’s own history of championing the latest advancements in the field of new media since our very first video art exhibition in 1975, and more recently with exhibitions such as WHAT SOUND DOES A COLOR MAKE? (2005–07) curated by Kathleen Ford, and WITH HIDDEN NOISE (2011–15) curated by Stephen Vitiello. I would like to take this opportunity to thank ICI’s extraordinary Board of Trustees, a growing group of dynamic visionaries whose leadership and dedication drive ICI’s mission forward. This past year, we have welcomed eight new Trustees to the Board, mirroring ICI’s own expansion. Their endorsement of our work brings new energy to it. I also want thank everyone who makes ICI what it is today: the curators, the artists, our collaborators, art spaces, and all those who connect with ICI programs in person, in print, or online; the trusts and foundations that support us; the many individuals who make our programs possible, especially the members of the Leadership Council, the International Forum, and the Independents; and of course ICI’s staff, working tirelessly to forge new collaborations every day and support new voices and perspectives in art and the curatorial field. —Renaud Proch Executive & Artistic Director TABLE OF CONTENTS EXHIBITIONS CURATORIAL INTENSIVE AND PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS 8 SEEING SOUND 10 NEVER SPOKEN 36 CURATORIAL AGAIN INTENSIVE 14 SOUNDINGS: 38 PAST PROGRAM: AN EXHIBITION IN CAPE TOWN FIVE PARTS 42 ALUMNI UPDATES 16 DO IT 44 CURATORIAL FORUM 18 AXIS MUNDO 46 RESEARCH 20 PUBLISHING FELLOWSHIPS AGAINST THE GRAIN SUPPORT ICI 22 APICHATPONG WEERASETHAKUL 52 GET INVOLVED! 24 TALKING TO ACTION 54 THE INDEPENDENTS 56 LIMITED EDITIONS PUBLIC EVENTS 58 ANNUAL BENEFIT 28 NEW YORK & AUCTION PROGRAMS 62 THANK YOU 30 CURATOR’S PERSPECTIVE 32 COMRADESHIP EXHIBITIONS 6 Exhibitions are the meeting point of art and audiences, where new perspectives can be experienced through the work of artists. Since 1975, ICI exhibitions have shared the practice of more than 4,000 artists in countries around the world, including Argentina, Afghanistan, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ethiopia, England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Jamaica, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Thailand and more. Wherever they take place, ICI exhibitions have the potential to build a shared understanding of artistic practice and are solid foundations for exchange in the curatorial field. Our projects connect art spaces to their audiences and art scenes to one another, across social, political, and cultural borders. Today, ICI exhibitions are the result of collaborations with hosting institutions and curators. They are conceived to reflect our times, adapt to their changing contexts, and generate new content and propositions at every venue. 7 Tours through 2024 demonstrate the effort and individuality within musical compositions.

  • The People Making Million-Dollar Art Deals for the Super Rich
    October 7, 2019 By Nick Glass The people making million-dollar art deals for the super rich Credit: Theodore Kaye/Getty Image "I'm always flying by the seat of my pants," says Lisa Schiff with engaging and, I suspect, characteristic honesty. "I never know what we're going to make each month -- five dollars or a million!" She works mostly on commission. An art academic until the age of 30, Schiff's initial ambition was to be an art professor. But then, as she tells it, her parents cut her off and she had to make a living. Lisa Schiff has been a professional art adviser since 2002. Credit: Sutton She's been a professional art adviser since 2002 and now runs her own company, SFA Advisory, based in New York. "It's what I love doing, all day, every day," she says. "You want to be part of art history." On the line from New York, she is still buzzing with excitement from the previous night's opening at Pace Gallery's vast new flagship location in Chelsea. "And 'The Who' played!" Schiff exclaims. Afterwards, she jokingly texted Pace's CEO Marc Glimcher, one of the world's most powerful and knowledgeable art dealers, offering to become his art adviser. SFA Advisory's New York space features artworks by Tavares Strachan. Credit: Sylvain Gaboury/Patrick McMullan/Sylvain Gaboury/PMC So what precisely does an art adviser do? In simple terms, they advise a collector on what to buy and where to find it. They help negotiate deals, and bid on clients' behalf at auctions.

Which artist has split from influential dealer Anton Kern? Read on for answers.

Photo: Clint Spaulding/PatrickMcMullan.com. Every Thursday afternoon, Artnet News brings you Wet Paint, a gossip column of original scoops reported and written by Nate Freeman. If you have a tip, email Nate at [email protected]. ADVERTISING INTERVIEW WITH THE ART HEIRESS Yesterday, the estate of the late collector Donald Marron shocked the art world (https://news.artnet.com/market/donald-marron-collection-pace-acquavella-gagosian-1781181) by turning down $300 million in guarantees from Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and Phillips respectively and making the virtually unprecedented decision to consign the financier’s massively important trove to a triumvirate of Manhattan dealer-kings: Larry Gagosian, Bill Acquavella, and the father-son duo Arne and Marc Glimcher at Pace. And while Marron was incredibly generous during his lifetime, giving $40 million to New York University and more than 500 works to the Museum of Modern Art (where he also served as board president), he left the rest of his collection—worth an estimated $450 million—to his family. That means the sale will be quite the windfall for his widow, Catie Marron, a Vogue contributing editor who runs Good Companies, a consultancy and community for fledgling non-profits, and the couple’s children: William Marron, who could often be seen leading his father around fairs and evening sales, and Serena Marron, an early Instagram influencer and New York socialite.

  • Library Publishing Curriculum Textbook
    Library Publishing Curriculum CC-BY 4.0 2 Library Publishing Curriculum About the Original Curriculum The Educopia Institute and the Library Publishing Coalition (LPC), in partnership with the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), NASIG, and BlueSky to BluePrint, are delighted to offer the “Library Publishing Curriculum,” a suite of professional development offerings for librarians that are open and free under a CC-BY license for anyone to offer or adapt. This dynamic, extensible, multimedia curriculum is intended to empower librarians to meet local demands to launch and/or enhance scholarly publishing activities. Released in 2018, the initial curriculum includes four modules that address major competencies in library publishing: Content, Impact, Policy, and Sustainability, each roughly equivalent to a 12-hour course. Each module contains 4–6 units that address topics of interest and has been authored by field experts. The Library Publishing Curriculum was created as part of the “Developing a Curriculum to Advance Library-Based Publishing” project, generously funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The original curriculum from which this textbook has been adapted is permanently housed in the repository at Wayne State University Libraries. The project has already had an impact on the quality and quantity of library publishing services offered to scholars and students and is contributing to a healthier, more equitable publishing ecosystem. About This Textbook Version In the original, modular curriculum (2018) on which this textbook is based, each unit contained an instructor’s guide, narrative, a slideshow with talking notes, bibliographies, supplemental material, and activities for use in a physical or virtual classroom for workshops and courses.
