iCI Is So Great!



Independent Curators International has become THE hotbed of interesting curatorial discourse. For months PEI has posted information of their tremendous Curator's Perspective series of lectures and now they have graced us with another incredible resource: DISPATCH. iCI describes this site as:

DISPATCH is ICI’s new online publication that publishes a curator’s point of view on current developments in art. Practitioners based in different cities around the world are invited to use DISPATCH as their virtual base for a month, building their research over time through text, image, and video. Taking advantage of the interactive platform, DISPATCH will also allow for comments and feedback from readers around the world, allowing for the development of a dynamic curatorial network.

This month takes you on an extensive tour of Mexico City’s intersection of education, pedagogy and art – all from the comfort of your office computer.

It’s PEI highly recommended:
