Prepare and manage exhibition budgets, timelines and production schedules.
Coordinate with artists, technicians, designers, fabricators, suppliers and other external collaborators.
Manage exhibition production, installation and deinstallation, maintaining project documentation and records.
Write and edit curatorial texts, exhibition descriptions, artist biographies, proposals and institutional materials.
Give exhibition tours and presentations for visitors, collectors, curators and institutional partners.
Contribute to the institution’s wider exhibition and programme direction, working collaboratively across departments.
