Chisenhale Gallery seeks to appoint an Assistant Curator: Commissions as a key member of its curatorial team. The primary function of this new role is to support the Curator: Commissions with the research, production and delivery of Chisenhale Gallery’s Commissions Programme, currently presented as four exhibitions in the gallery each year.
The Assistant Curator: Commissions will also contribute to archive research programmes, the production of interpretative materials and digital content for each commission, fundraising and budget management, as well as implementing keys aspects of the Gallery’s communications strategy.
The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong understanding of, and commitment to, Chisenhale Gallery’s programme and will bring excellent knowledge of current artistic practices. The ability to prioritise and deliver multiple strands of work to deadline, including excellent planning, research and communication skills are essential for this role.
