Exhibitions in a Box

Independent Curators International has taken up the challenge posed by projects like Marcel Duchamp’s Boite-en-valise to present suitcase-sized traveling exhibitions of art. These miniature art collections contain ephemera, video, archival materials and small-scale original works curated to allow display space operators a full ready-to-install show that they can configure to fit their needs.

One of the first of these “exhibitions in a box,” a retrospective look at the groundbreaking 1972 Documenta show in Kassel, Germany, appears to fit into a large binder. For more information on the project and where the traveling shows are headed, the ICI has details.
