In these times of intense change, Volz’s words resonate with heightened relevance. Yet, these ideas have been central to ICI for the last four decades. Since it was established in 1975 by Susan Sollins and Nina Castelli Sundell as a “museum without walls”, ICI has retained three core tenets of its mission: to advance independent practice; to broaden access to contemporary art; and to support international engagement. ICI’s ever- expanding network of collaborators—curators, artists, and art spaces—stretches across all 50 U.S. states and in 65 countries. It fosters the exchange of ideas across borders, and helps strengthen local and regional art communities within an international framework. A new exhibition beginning this summer, PUBLISHING AGAINST THE GRAIN, will exemplify these ideals. It draws from ICI’s network to bring together an international selection of independent curatorial publishing platforms—small journals, experimental publications, websites, radio, and other innovative forms of criticism. Compiled into a traveling reading room, these will be presented in dozens of art centers around the world over the next four years. The exhibition will debut in Kosovo, as part of an ongoing 3 partnership which began in 2013 with our colleagues at Stacion, in conjunction with their annual Summer School for artists, curators and writers from the region. In the coming months, international art events will align in even greater numbers than usual, among them the Venice Biennale, Documenta, and Skulptur Projekte Münster. ICI collaborators and Curatorial Intensive alumni are behind various aspects of these exhibitions, including several national pavilions in Venice. And in March, we will welcome Kasper König and Britta Petters to New York to hear about Skulptur Projekte. This year alone, ICI will realize 60 collaborative projects in up to 20 countries. Each of these collaborations uniquely reflects how ICI’s network impacts local and regional art scenes within an international framework. None of this would be possible without the commitment of everyone who makes ICI what it is today: the curators, the artists, our audience and collaborators around the world—in person, in print, and online; the trusts and foundations that support us; the many individuals who help us carry ICI’s mission to new heights; and ICI’s Board of Trustees, whose leadership and dedication have kept our two founders’ vision of a dynamic “museum without walls” going strong since 1975.

ICI’s history has uniquely positioned the organization to reflect on the exhibitions and artworks that travel throughout the world and across social, political, and cultural borders. In the different contexts in which they take place, itinerant projects have the potential to build a shared understanding of artist practice and are solid foundations for exchange in the curatorial field. ICI exhibitions consider collaborative exchange and a curatorial direction led by a combined perspective of many. Providing platforms for diversification of curatorial models and authors also leads to a diversification of the art audience. Our projects aspire to reach out to audiences with unique cultural concepts and arguments. Furthermore, ICI exhibitions are conceived to generate new content and propositions at every venue; they adapt depending on their changing contexts. Hosting institutions become active participants in the exhibition as they take a role in reconfiguring the project, framing it or even expanding it. 7 Tour begins Summer 2017 Publishing Against the Grain Art Against Art (Germany), Art Art Against Art, 2017.

  • Museums of Contemporary Art in Preexisting Buildings: Constraints and Architecture the Case Study of Punta Della Dogana and Fondazione Prada
    MUSEUMS OF CONTEMPORARY ART IN PREEXISTING BUILDINGS: CONSTRAINTS AND ARCHITECTURE THE CASE STUDY OF PUNTA DELLA DOGANA AND FONDAZIONE PRADA Thesis Supervisors: Professor Bárbara Coutinho Professor Fulvio Lenzo Author: Beatriz Loreto Crespo de Jesus Agostinho Extended Abstract The present article regards the process of converting preexisting buildings into museums of contemporary art using two study cases: Punta della Dogana, in Venice, and Fondazione Prada, in Milan. Additionally, this investigation aims to identify the factors and the limitations that affect the development of the adjacent architectural project and to understand the architectural solutions created in each case. With these goals in mind it was necessary to contextualise, historically, the museological institution as well as the evolution of its morphology. At the same time, a detailed analysis of the two case studies took place starting by the systematisation of technical drawings, bibliographic research and numerous visits to the respective locations. The dissertation document is made up by five chapters from which the first consists of the introductory guide lines for the investigation and the last two being the reached conclusions followed by the used bibliography. On the second chapter, a brief study regarding the History and the Architecture of museums of art takes place, focusing on the period inbetween the 18th century and the 20th century. The museum, being an entity with multiple dimensions - mission, programmes, morphology, among others – needs to adapt to its surrounding circumstances in order to survive (Schubert, 2009: 11). Since the 18th century this institution has changed accordingly to the social shifts affecting society, therefore, influencing all of its dimensions and its relation with the public.

  • Company Profile
    COMPANY PROFILE JUNE 2015 INFO FILES • The Prada Group • Creativity and manufacturing • Raw materials • Logistics • Distribution • Licences and Joint Ventures • Prada Group figures June 2015 www.pradagroup.com 1 “Careful observation of and curiosity about the world, society, and culture are at the core of Prada’s creativity and modernity. This pursuit has pushed Prada beyond the physical limitations of boutiques and showrooms, provoked an interaction with different and seemingly distant worlds, and introduced a new way to create a natural, almost fashionless fashion.” Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli June 2015 www.pradagroup.com 2 THE PRADA GROUP Prada was founded in 1913 by Mario Prada, Miuccia Prada’s grandfather, in Milan. Located in the prestigious Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Prada was an exclusive, stylish store selling luggage, accessories and luxury goods, in fine materials and of sophisticated workmanship. The Milan store quickly became a firm favourite with the aristocracy and the most sophisticated members of the European elite. In 1919 Prada received the warrant of “Official Supplier of the Italian Royal Household”, and since then has been entitled to display the royal Savoy coat of arms and figure-of-eight knots alongside the company logo. Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli started working together in the late 70’s, laying the foundations of the international expansion that was to come. Patrizio Bertelli broke new ground in the luxury goods sector, introducing a new business model in which he kept direct, internal control over all processes, applying uncompromised quality criteria across the entire production cycle. Miuccia Prada’s creative talent and avant-garde approach attracted the attention of the global fashion industry, while her ability to look at the world from an unconventional vantage point allowed her not only to anticipate, but quite often, to set new trends.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

  • Leslie Wayne on Sculpting Paint and Repairing What Is Broken
    Est. 1902 home • ar tnews • ar tists Artist Leslie Wayne on Sculpting Paint and Repairing What Is Broken BY FRANCESCA ATON June 15, 2021 5:57pm Artist Leslie Wayne (https://www.artnews.com/t/leslie-wayne/) molds and manipulates oil paint to create surfaces that blur the confines of painting and sculpture. Wayne found “an approach to [paint] that was very dimensional,” as she told Brooke Jaffe (https://www.artnews.com/t/brooke-jaffe/) in a recent interview for “ARTnews Live,” our ongoing IGTV series featuring interviews with a range of creatives. Wayne, the daughter of a concert pianist and a writer, began painting lessons at the age of 7 and lived in what she describes as a very open and “encouraging” household. Dissatisfied with the body of abstract geometric paintings featured in her first show—she says they felt formally rigorous but “hollow”—Wayne soon began integrating sculptural techniques into her paintings, which she says “helped me kind of build a vocabulary that was fresh and new to me.” It was then that Wayne realized “paint could be used like you would use any other material to build a work of art.” Her advice to aspiring artists is to “be courageous in the studio.” Wayne said her latest body of work, currently on view at Jack Shainman Gallery (https://www.artnews.com/t/jack- shainman-gallery/) in New York, was born from reflection. “I was looking inward as I gaze outside,” she wrote, referring to time spent indoors during the pandemic. Her paintings depict objects that she has been surrounded by in her studio, including work tables and rolling carts as well as stacks of marble that her husband, sculptor Don Porcaro, uses in his work.
