ARTIST ROOMS is a collection of international contemporary art created through one of the largest and most imaginative gifts of art ever made to museums in Britain. The gift was made by Anthony d’Offay in 2008, with the assistance of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, the Art Fund, and the Scottish and British Governments. ARTIST ROOMS is jointly owned and managed by National Galleries of Scotland (NGS) and Tate on behalf of the nation.
The overriding aim for ARTIST ROOMS is to make world-class contemporary art available to the widest possible audience and, in particular, to engage and inspire young people with the art of our time.
Reporting to both Tate and NGS and a member of the dedicated ARTIST ROOMS team, you will assist and support the Managing Curator, ARTIST ROOMS and the ARTIST ROOMS team in relation to acquisitions to and displays of the ARTIST ROOMS Collection and in particular, the ARTIST ROOMS touring programme 2013-15.
With a broad knowledge and understanding of twentieth-century and contemporary art, you will have an awareness of the issues relating to the display of art works in a public gallery setting and excellent research skills. You will be an efficient administrator with a meticulous eye for detail and the ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines, as part of a team and on your own initiative.
