Arts Editor and Copy Editor, Zine Magazine

Working alongside the founder and designer on this start-up label to provide creative direction for the forthcoming collections of printed silk accessories. I am responsible for all written formal correspondence including copy for the press release and web content as well as liaising between the director and press and buyers. My role will adapt in the coming months as the brand has successfully established itself in its native Australia, so I will be solely responsible for finding press, promotion and buyers for the brand in the UK.

Working in the public parts of the ICA, I would invigilate the gallery space, be front-of-house and the first point of contact for visitors and act as usher for the cinema and other live events. This required a friendly and personable demeanour, being knowledgeable and helpful when answering enquiries from the public and a great passion for contemporary art and cinema.

The purpose of this role was to liaise with artists, curators, galleries and others to research, organize and realise the programme of exhibitions and events alongside the Curator and Director. In this role I was responsible for:• Loans and contracts, exhibition and event details, artist specifications, travel arrangements and accommodation.• Compile and update project information and to produce and prepare presentations and reports.• Personal responsibility for the organisation of a ten-day Jack Smith event that included the organisation (contracts, shipping, technical details) of over 30 screenings of films in multiple mediums as well as talks and lectures and an opening event. As the main point-of-contact for the project I liaised with the 20+ institutions/ galleries/ artists to successfully realise the project on time and within budget.• On my own initiative I began to re-organise/archive the ICAs existing archival material, whilst also researching and discussing ways in which my project could continue beyond my placement. • I have continued to work at the ICA on a part-time basis in both the public parts of the gallery and on temporary/project based contracts:I was personally requested to cover the Assistant Curator in her absence to coordinate the recent collaboration between the ICA and Auto Italia. As a paid temporary position I was the point of contact to ensure the smooth installation and realisation of the project.I was also requested to return to provide holiday cover for the Executive Assistant, where I worked with the Executive and Managing Directors. Alongside all PA duties I organised the Directors travel itinerary and schedule for the, then forthcoming, international art fairs.

Requested to return to the project for internationally acclaimed artist Anselm Keifer (after first being involved as an intern) I was promoted to lead art technician to fabricate a large Keifer sculpture:• Lead and motivate a team of interns (between 12 – 20) to fabricate the components of the artwork, to ensure the highest standard of work and to adhere to the relevant health & safety regulations (of particular importance as the principal material of the sculpture was hazardous)• Responsible for keeping the project on schedule, liaising with the White Cube to deliver the artwork to the artists specifications
