The New York-based Independent Curators International has announced the nominees for this year's Independent Vision Curatorial Award. The 15 nominees from a dozen different countries were selected by Performa founder RoseLee Goldberg, White Columns director Matthew Higgs, Documenta's Chus Martinez, MIT List Visual Art Centre curator Joao Ribas, LACMA's chief curator of contemporary art Franklin Sirmans, and Guggenheim chief curator Nancy Spector.
European curators dominate the list, but it includes two curators based in Asia - Beijing's Bijana Ciric, an independent curator and former staffer at the Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art, and Erin Gleeson, the co-founder and artistic director of SA SA BASSAC in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Han Ulrich Obrist will select the overall winner to be announced at the ICI's fall benefit auction and gala on 19 November.
