JOB DESCRIPTION
CURATOR
The Tricycle Board of Directors has recently reviewed the
Tricycle Visual Arts Policy & as a result created the new two days a week
position of Curator.
The
Curator will take responsibility for running the Gallery and will be given the autonomy to select and mount exhibitions, under
the direction of the Artistic Director and General Manager, and in consultation
with The Gallery Committee (meets quarterly). The Curator will demonstrate a
clear vision and ambition for the development of the Gallery, tempered by an
understanding of the location and ethos of the Tricycle.
All
exhibitions will be selected on a basis of excellence and one of the following
criteria will apply:
·
An artist who has recently graduated
from a recognised art school or is an emerging artist.
·
An artist who represents the diverse
cultural nature of the community of Brent.
·
An artist of national or international
stature.
·
An artist nominated by the Artistic
Director, in consultation with the Curator (once a year) or work that the
Artistic Director occasionally schedules to coincide with festival or
particular production.
·
Work from local schools or special
needs school as part of the education programme.
·
Young artists with disabilities
(biennially).
The
Curator will be at liberty to design his/her method of selection, in discussion
with the Art Committee, the Artistic Director & the General Manager.
While
unwilling to censor the exhibitions in any way, the Curator will need to be
aware that the Gallery is used as a seating area for the Bar/Café &
therefore three dimensional work or installations are always considered
unsuitable. Also note that young children use the Gallery constantly.
In
addition to selecting artists, the Curator will raise the profile of the
Gallery through his/her skills, vision and contacts. This will include
·
increase press coverage of the Gallery
& general marketing of the exhibitions
·
issue invitations to Private Views to
the appropriate standing database & to newly created lists
·
arrange events such as Artists Talks
·
work with the Artist in Residence
&/or Education Department on educational projects
From
1st April 2010 there will be a small annual budget for advertising
the Gallery & any other Gallery–related expenses. Prior to this date &
continuously thereafter, the Curator will be expected to supplement the Gallery
sales income by fundraising through events, business sponsorship &
applications to funding bodies & charitable trusts. A quarterly fundraising
plan should be submitted to the General Manager & Development Director in
order to coordinate with existing & ongoing fundraising. Any surplus income
which is generated will be ring-fenced for the development of the Gallery.
The
Curator will be responsible for promoting & administrating all Gallery
sales, in liaison with Front of House Managers, the Box Office & the
Finance Department. Artists are currently charged 20% commission + VAT. This
low rate of commission reflects the limited financial support given to the
Artist currently. The newly appointed Curator may wish to review this rate in
consultation with the management.
In
addition the Curator will deal with general administrative matters eg:
·
co-ordinate the Gallery diary with
other Tricycle events scheduled
·
issue contracts to the artists
·
type up press releases, catalogues
& display material
·
book the freelance Gallery technician

ensure that the exhibition is properly
displayed & advertised in the building, & that catalogues are always

arrangements
·
sign off invoices, payments to artists
etc
·
manage the limited budget effectively
& accurately
·
establish the value of the exhibited
work for insurance purposes
·
liaise with customers regarding
collection of bought work
The
Curator will share an office & computer with others & be expected to be
proficient in the use of Word, Excel, database management & any other
required software.
In
addition the Curator may be expected to:
·
receive
and entertain VIPs

2009 년도 알드버러페스티벌은 6월 12일부터 6월 28일까지 개최되었다. 62회를 맞는 올 축제는, 2007년 말에 임용된 프랑스 피아니스트 출신의 새 예술총감독 피에르 로렌 에이마드(Pierre-Laurent Aimard) 체제 하에 처음으로 치러지는 페스티벌이었고, 호프만빌딩이 새로 개관하면서 그 어느 때보다 이목이 집중된 행사였다.
