Exhibitions Manager and Curator
As the Curator and Exhibitions Manager at Linden New Art, I strategically planned and delivered the annual program of exhibitions across seven gallery spaces. The program presented new work by leading contemporary Australian artists, often made in response to the unique gallery spaces within the heritage building. I wrote catalogue essays, wall labels and promotional text for each exhibition. I gave regular gallery tours and curator talks, as well as hosting artist talks. I managed the logistics and scheduling of all installations and managed a team of install staff.
I also managed the Linden Projects Space; a space for hire that prioritises the work of local artists. The space was used as a platform to train Masters students from the University of Melbourne's Curatorship and Arts Administration courses. I provided mentorship for the students and training sessions about the practicalities of running an exhibition space, including installation techniques, conservation issues and artwork handling.
