Garage is collaborating with Independent Curators International to produce the first professional curatorial workshop in Russia for curators working around the world. Titled Developing Infrastructures for Art, this short-course training program will examine curatorial strategies for creatively building frameworks for art – from small-scale collaborative projects to new museums – that respond to the changing needs of artists and new art publics.

The Curatorial Intensive is designed to immerse participants in a rigorous schedule of seminars and presentations that support the process of developing an idea into a full exhibition or program proposal and is targeted toward self-motivated individuals – working independently or in institutions – who would spend a week together in intensive discussions around pressing issues and questions that arise for curators today.
