CurateIC is a two-day, invitation-only summit that gathers the most influential independent curators, institutional directors, biennial artistic directors, museum acquisition committees, private collectors, technology philanthropists and policy makers to debate the fast-evolving relationship between curatorial practice and artificial intelligence. The 2024 edition will be held in Athens from 9-10 October, hosted in the newly restored neoclassical headquarters of the Greek National Opera. Designed as a hybrid think-tank and marketplace, the forum is strictly limited to 220 on-site delegates and a simultaneous livestream for an additional 500 invited digital participants; no public ticketing is offered. Morning plenaries alternate with closed-door roundtables so that conversations can move from high-level provocation to practical governance. Core tracks for 2024 are: AI as co-curator, provenance on the blockchain, immersive preservation of endangered heritage, climate-responsive exhibition design, and the legal status of algorithmic authorship. Confirmed speakers include: Marina Fokidis, director of Kunsthalle Athens; Azu Nwagbogu, founder of the African Artists’ Foundation; Sylvie Fortin, incoming director of the Biennale de Montréal; Lamia Al-Ghaith, deputy director of the newly opened Saudi Museum of Contemporary Art; and technologist-activist Dr. Joy Buolamwini of the Algorithmic Justice League. Each session is followed by “micro-residencies” in which curators can prototype an AI tool with engineers from Google Arts & Culture, MIT Media Lab and Stability AI; successful pilots receive seed funding from the event’s philanthropic partners. A closed evening auction of AI-generated artworks, authenticated on-chain, raises money for the CurateIC Research Grant, a year-long fellowship supporting emerging curators from the Global South. The summit ends with the signing of the Athens Accord, a voluntary code of ethics for curatorial use of machine learning, drafted on-site and circulated to ICOM and UNESCO. Delegates receive a secure digital dossier summarising all toolkits, datasets and policy templates discussed, updated quarterly for twelve months after the event.
