Interested in finding out what goes into curating an exhibition at Tate?
Our Curatorial Department at Tate Modern is a really exciting place to be. Here, we create a range of temporary projects – everything from exhibitions and collection displays, to live performance and film screenings. We’re also responsible for proposing and managing acquisitions of international art post 1900.
An opportunity has arisen for an Exhibitions Intern to support our Assistant Curator on our forthcoming exhibitions, Lichtenstein: A Retrospective, opening February 2013, and Mira Schendel, opening September 2013. Here, you’ll participate in some of the most exciting curatorial work nationally and internationally, in a stimulating environment.
You’ll complete a series of curatorial, administration and research tasks to develop your understanding of staging of complex, large scale exhibitions in a large public institution. To inform our exhibitions, you’ll also research objects, themes, artists, provenance of works, chronologies and documentation of artists/ movements at Tate Library.
This internship will develop your experience in preparing loan forms, updating a database, compiling floor plans and layouts, and preparing PowerPoint presentations. What’s more, you’ll learn the importance of team dynamics and how collaborative working can help us share and achieve our goals.
Of course, we need to know that you’re really interested in contemporary and modern international art. You’ll also show us that you’re organised with good communication skills, and that you can work well on your own as well as part of a team.
Tate aims to attract and retain talented people from all backgrounds, and these opportunities are for people to learn and develop new skills. We particularly encourage applications from black, ethnic minority, and disabled applicants as these groups are currently underrepresented in the cultural sector.
