Vacancy: parttime curator at V2_

V2_ was founded in 1981 and is located in the center of Rotterdam in 
the Netherlands. V2_ runs a presentation space, a media lab, a 
publishing house and is actively developing an archive related to our 
almost 30 years of activities. V2_ is an interdisciplinary center for 
art, technology and media that pays special attention to research and 
experimentation. Thus, it has many collaborative ties with 
organisations in various sectors (a.o. the arts, universities, and 
the social and cultural sector). This research concentrates on the 
relationship between art and life, technology, media and society. 
Beside being a place for experts and researchers, we develop public 
events to make our research, which is practice and theory, accessible 
for a larger audience. Over the past 30 years, a growing domestic and 
international audience has had the opportunity to get acquainted with 
prominent artists, thinkers and projects in the field of art, media 
and technology through exhibitions, present
  ations, symposiums and performances and the Dutch Electronic Art 
Festival - DEAF. V2_ currently employs a permanent staff of 22 people 
from different backgrounds and nationalities.

Partime curator
The position is focused on the development of V2_'s presentations, 
exhibitions, conferences and other activities. We are looking for a 
curator that has a profound interest and knowledge in combining 
practice and theory. The successful applicant will have all necessary 
knowledge and experience in the field of interdisciplinary and 
contemporary art in the context of its technological culture,  and to 
maintain an international network of contacts in this area. 
Experience in organising interdisciplinary exhibitions, workshops and 
conferences is a must. In light of the international character of the 
position, the curator must speak different languages (English at a 
minimum) and preferably also Dutch. Because the position concerns 
interdisciplinary activities, the successful applicant should be 
well-informed in multiple fields. General knowledge in media theory 
is important.

We require:
>  An inventive and creative person with a broad vision in the area of
contemporary art, technology, science and society, who is able to 
articulate and translate concepts into public presentations as well 
as into research activities.

>  Experience in the conceptualization and realization of exhibitions,
conferences and hands-on presentations.

>  Outstanding communication skills and be a team worker.

The curator will work in a small team that is responsible for 
researching and developing the public events at V2_ and play an 
important role in developing a public discours in the context of our 
activities.


We offer a part-time position (app. 3 days a week), beginning on 
November 1st 2010 (starting date can be discussed). Deadline for the 
application October 15, 2010
