This role will suit an accomplished and knowledgeable curator, committed to new and recent developments in contemporary art in the UK, and interested in working in the context of a museum and collection whose remit stretches back many centuries.
You will take an inclusive, innovative and often transnational approach to developing and delivering various aspects of Tate Britain’s artistic programme – which encompasses exhibitions, collection displays and new commissions – and to researching and acquiring new acquisitions by living British artists for the Collection.
This is a role that combines curatorial and research excellence with strong project management skills. The role involves leading projects as well as working with many teams across Tate, according to Tate Britain’s artistic and audience priorities and the vision, values and strategy of Tate. You will be a skilled line manager and active team player.
You will play a significant role in Tate Britain’s focus on narrating the changing story of British art in our times, both through building Tate’s Collection and by developing and delivering elements of our artistic programme, while making this relevant and engaging to large and increasingly diverse audiences.
You will have the opportunity to identify and work with emerging artists, established and internationally-recognised artists, as well as artists who have been under-recognised or marginalised over the past few decades. This role combines dialogue with colleagues with expertise in the longer history of British art.
You will gain further experience in both curating and project managing at different scales at a major public venue, and in collaborating with specialist colleagues from across the organisation.
