ICI CONVERSATIONS is a series of thought-provoking events that give you exclusive access to the people—artists, critics, collectors, advisors, gallerists, curators, and museum directors—who are influencing the contemporary art world today. Our second season will debut in March 2013, hosted by Sotheby’s and take place in top venues throughout New York City. ICI CONVERSATIONS brings you insider perspectives on hot topics from how a world-class collection is built, to the secrets behind making the Frieze New York art fair the talk of town. Keeping participants ahead of the curve, ICI CONVERSATIONS will also give you insights from leading curators on their “top pick” artists under 35, and will include a day exploring Brooklyn’s rapidly developing art center, Bushwick, where many of New York’s current and upcoming art stars have studios. 2013 Series Schedule: Wednesday, March 27 Curators’ Top Picks Under 35 RUBA KATRIB, CHUS MARTINEZ, and FIONN MEADE 6:30–8pm Hosted by Sotheby’s, New York Thursday, April 4 Critical Outlook — Developing the Art Fair Experience CECILIA ALEMANI, JING LIU, and AMANDA SHARP 6:30–8pm Hosted by Sotheby’s, New York Tuesday, April 9 Building the Collection MARIELUISE HESSEL in conversation with TOM ECCLES 6:30–8pm Hosted by Sotheby’s, New York Monday, April 15 The Artist’s Voice DANIEL JOSEPH MARTINEZ in conversation with RENAUD PROCH 6:30–8pm Hosted by Zabludowicz Collection, New York and Tamares Saturday, April 27 The Artist’s Voice Studio visits with MIKA TAJIMA and SAM MOYER Gallery visits to LUHRING AUGUSTINE and INTERSTATE PROJECTS 10am–4pm *Bus transportation and lunch by Tutu’s will be provided Thursday, May 2 CONVERSATIONS Cocktail THEA WESTREICH WAGNER and ETHAN WAGNER with special guest SHEENA WAGSTAFF 6:30–8:30pm Hosted by Thea Westreich Wagner & Ethan Wagner Comments on the 2012 season: Attending Curators’ Top Picks Under 35 at Sotheby’s was an amazing experience. I heard about a number of exceptional artists I would not have encountered on my own. Thank you for hosting such an insightful event. —CAROL GOLDBERG, collector I just wanted to thank ICI for the event with Richard Armstrong at the home of Eileen and Michael Cohen. It was great to meet the hosts and get their insights into their collection, as well as fascinating to hear about the history and future of the Guggenheim.
