Window is seeking a new Onsite curator to run its University of
Auckland exhibition space.
Window has been operating for five years as an Auckland-based,
University supported art project exhibiting parallel programmes of
contemporary art in the physical gallery space, and virtual art
online.
Window prizes an emergent focus and provides a well-regarded platform
for the work of young artists and curators educated at the University
of Auckland both during and following their study. As a correlative,
Window aims to increase the visibility of net.art and digital projects
initiated by New Zealand practitioners through its Online program and
Archive.

career and build on the strength of the current programme.
The position is a voluntary role, requiring a variable quota of
between 5-15 hours of organisational and curatorial work per week,
with exhibitions rotating once every 4-5 weeks.
Successful applicants will work closely with the current Window
curators, Sarah Hopkinson (Onsite) and Luke Munn (Online).
Applicants must be current students or alumni (recent students) of the
University of Auckland.
Applicants should submit a current CV, letter of interest and
appropriate support material (examples of critical writing and/or
design work) to the address provided below by Friday 16 March 2007.
The letter should address the applicant's suitability for the role by
referencing the following guidelines:
Curatorial:
- Willingness to engage actively with the local Auckland art community
- Breadth of knowledge in wider international art practices
- Strong academic writing skills
- Ability to actively take part in all stages of the exhibition
