An unusual opportunity
An internship posting, via NYFA:
Archivist
Acconci Studio (Brooklyn NY)
Vito Acconci is seeking a person to direct the restructuring of his archive. Much of Vito’s work is impeccably organized and archived, however most of the pieces from the late 60’s through the mid 80’s have never been presented as so-called salable art works. For each piece we need to create a single, complete set of documentation, which can be matted and sold as an inclusive work. Additionally, we need to create a digital database for reference and research. This project is expected to run through May 2008. Qualified candidates will possess a Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree (or course work toward a degree) in art history, curatorial studies or library, information science, archival studies. Prior museum, library or archives experience is also highly desirable. Although this position is unpaid, we offer an excellent opportunity to anyone interested in a career in the art world. The internship is also transferable for credit at certain institutions. The position will be a minimum of 3 days per week, with flexible scheduling and the opportunity to stay through the fall if available. If interested please send resume and brief letter to studio@acconci.com
