Scholarship opportunities for Brazilian curators

Curatorial Intensive in New York
October 6–15, 2013
Application deadline: August 17, 2013

This October in New York, Independent Curators International (ICI) produces the Curatorial Intensive: Curating Time-Based Media, a ten-day professional development program that offers curators the opportunity to discuss, among colleagues, the concepts, logistics, and challenges of organizing exhibitions featuring durational art, installations, performance, dance, video, film, and sound art. Topics under discussion include new formats for durational projects, collecting and conservation, remaking historical work, and commissioning new pieces. Central to all sessions will be conversations discerning audience and publics, working with artists, and the consideration of time and space in relation to programming.

Curatorial Intensive in Tokyo
October 27–November 2, 2013
Application deadline: August 14, 2013

Developed by ICI in collaboration with the Mori Art Museum, the Curatorial Intensive: What Does it Mean to be International? will examine the current state of the Asian contemporary art scene within the larger global context. The program will explore the idea of internationality and interrelations among Asian countries, asking whether the new economic and political landscapes of the region are generating competition between cities and countries, or rather a framework for mutual cultural understanding. Aiming to spark an enriching dialogue about different forms of modernity and interconnectivity, this program will ask how curators and institutions are envisioning their role in a rapidly changing environment.
