Intern opportunity for ‘Anatomy
of a Small Scottish Town’
Two
young Russian women creatives will undertake a residency in the Dumfriesshire
town of Moffat from the 5th -18th May, 2014 to curate an
exhibition that is scheduled to be shown at Moscow’s Rudomino Library for
Foreign Literature (VGBIL) in October 2014.
Moffat
Book Events (MBE) seeks an intern to assist photographer Masha Buylova and art
historian Maria Popova and complete the small team that, with the support of
the community of Moffat, will be endeavouring to capture the essence of the
town through images and interviews for what will be a largely digital
exhibition.
The
successful candidate will ideally have; local knowledge, an interest in
photography, some research experience and a flair for design and might possibly
be seeking experience leading to a career in the heritage sector. A modest
honorarium is available, largely to cover transport costs. The Russian artists
have excellent English and their involvement with the VGBIL International Centre
means they have an extensive knowledge of different cultures; working with them
will be a stimulating educational experience.
To
apply, send a CV and a few lines on what you can bring to this project, your
availability over the period in question and something on how you might benefit
from the experience to Alan Thomson.
