RUPERT is a recently established project-based, trans-disciplinary and
para academic educational program based in Vilnius, Lithuania. Each year it
engages with a small number of selected participants to assist in
developing their projects—exhibitions, art works, insides and
outsides of publications, mental architectures, institutional designs, etc.
Tutors, visiting lecturers, expertise and ideas are assembled around the
participants and their projects to energize and inform them throughout the
year.
In 2013 RUPERT is moving to a new building and
supplementing its current activities with an international residency
program and a public gallery. Hence the need for a director, somebody who
could lead RUPERT's current team and develop the institution's new
projects, as well as coordinate and build on all of its current activities.
The director will be responsible for opening RUPERT's educational program
to international applicants in the upcoming years, programming the
gallery's activities and setting up 9 studio residencies for artists,
researchers and practitioners.
We need someone seasoned enough
to handle a considerably large institution, preferably with professional
background in both curating and education. Furthermore, the job requires
experience in administrative matters, fundraising, public communication and
international networking among other things. Applicants should also have a
broad range of interests in art, theory, architecture, design, publishing
and beyond to oversee the work of young practicing professionals in these
fields.
This is a full-time position for the duration of
at least three years starting at the beginning of 2013. The director will
be based in Vilnius.
To apply, please send your cover
letter and CV to info@rupert.lt before
15th of October, 2012. Selected candidates will be then asked to attend
further selection stages in November, 2012.
