Short Description:
Since 1817, the Kunstverein in Hamburg has been dedicated to presenting and promoting young, contemporary artistic positions and serves as a platform for constructive discussion of new directions in art. As a place for artistic production, exhibitions, art education, and critical discourse, the association is dedicated to artists who offer us new perspectives on social issues. They take on the task of showing us the way out of the familiar, perhaps even formulating the path to a different way of living together, thereby developing a language that helps overcome economic and political differences. The Kunstverein in Hamburg presents an average of six changing exhibitions per year and offers a diverse social and evening program.
Your tasks include:
• Responsibility for the realization of exhibitions and projects, in collaboration with the management
• Support during the setup and dismantling of exhibitions
• Contract preparation and review (loan agreements, exhibition contracts)
• Transport and customs matters
• Exhibition insurance and claims settlement
• Regular contact with artists, sponsors, members, urban communities, among others
• Research and text creation in the exhibition context
• Creation and maintenance of financial plans, time and production plans
• Preparation of project funding applications
• Development of the annual membership program
• Conception of the exhibition supporting programs
• Publication support
• Regular exhibition tours
• Supervision of the annual gift exhibition
