Electra seeks Curator/Producer

2 days per week*
Rate: negotiable

Contemporary arts agency Electra seeks to bring on board a freelance
Curator/Producer to work alongside the directors initially 2 days per week
with the possibility of more days the near future. Electra's projects have
included events and exhibitions with artists including Christian Marclay,
Tony Oursler, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Hayley Newman, Daria Martin,
Christina Kubisch, Marina Rosenfeld and others. We have worked on and are
currently developing projects at venues such as Tate Modern, The Barbican
Centre, South London Gallery, GAS Festival, Sweden, Roma Europa Festival,
Rome and others.

The curator/producer will be responsible for working with the directors to
deliver existing projects (including the forthcoming European tour 'Perfect
Partner' and exhibition Her Noise at South London Gallery) while also taking
an active role in developing and shaping the future of Electra. The
candidate should have an existing network of contacts and a track record of
successful working relationships with artists, producers, galleries and
festivals. He or she will be expected to bring on board and develop new
projects in collaboration with international and national partners as well
as to fundraise and contribute substantially to the strategic development of
Electra.

The Curator/Producer should have extensive experience in project management,
curating, producing, and touring international projects. Commercial gallery
experience would be an advantage. An understanding of event and
performance-based practice is an advantage, but we are primarily looking for
someone with their own vision, initiative and an extensive knowledge of
contemporary art and a desire to initiate and realise large scale art
projects irrespective of medium.

To apply please send a covering letter outlining any relevant
experience, with relevant documentation (press clippings, catalogues etc)
alongside contacts for two referees to the address below, marking
'Curator/Producer' on the envelope.

The deadline is Monday 27 June 6pm.

*The curator will need to be London based and work from the Electra
office.
