United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi

Description

NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) supports an extensive program of arts, including an MFA program, majors in multiple arts programs, as well as a museum venue, and a range of academic exhibition spaces, and a campus collection. For the visual arts, there are two main areas of activity: the formal curriculum of the MFA and BA programs, and the museum and gallery exhibition programs that connect the university to the broader public.

The Art Gallery at NYUAD presents an ambitious program of museum  exhibitions of art and culture from contemporary and historical periods in its main venue, alongside exhibitions of research and emerging artists in its Project Space. The Art Gallery department also oversees a campus collection, and a variety of art installations on and off campus. Alongside this, the Arts and Humanities Division prepares students for an MFA in art and media, and multiple BAs in the arts. Exhibitions and installation of art make up a core part of this education, in classrooms, student exhibition spaces, and in the Project Space.

As part of the arts team at NYUAD, the Art Preparator has two primary avenues of responsibility, both of which involve safe and efficient movement, housing, and installation of artwork. The first is for the preparation of museum exhibitions, and care of the collection, according to museum best-practice standards, as well as for the range of exhibitions and arts projects on campus. The second is an equally essential aspect of this position: working with and mentoring students and student assistants, both at the Graduate and Undergraduate levels, to give them practical ‘hands-on’ experience in the realms of art handling, collections management, and formal exhibition presentation. Through the process of doing the work itself with the students, the Art Preparator is instructing students in the technical and conceptual issues at stake when art is prepared and exhibited.

A typical year cycle sees two month-long museum installs in the Art Gallery, and 15-20 smaller rotations of community and academic exhibitions in the Project Space and elsewhere, including off-campus, and a variety of ad-hoc exhibition projects as they arise. The Art Preparator will work independently, and where appropriate, be supported by, and manage, a team of contract art handlers to deliver these projects. The art install team will vary according to the project, and work in close collaboration with both the Art Gallery and the Arts & Humanities production teams.

The duties include highly skilled technical care, handling, and installation of art ranging from traditional 2D and 3D works to immersive multimedia and site-specific installations. The exhibition spaces include a museum venue (the Art Gallery, which will eventually mount 3 major exhibitions per year), the Project Space (10-15 smaller exhibitions per year), the Crit Room (for student class review), the Cube (a student public exhibition space), the Arts & Humanities Research Walls, and across campus as it relates to the campus collection and other projects as needed, such as the annual Christo Award, MFA and Senior Capstone exhibitions, and smaller installations of work that may occur each semester.

The Preparator is responsible for maintaining professional museum standards of care, as well as efficient and well-coordinated installation team integration. Under the direction of the Head of Arts Instructors (Division of Art and Humanities) together with the Head of Exhibitions and Collection Management (“HECM” for the Art Gallery department), this work includes planning and executing projects in a range of areas such as: the preparation of gallery spaces and objects for exhibitions; fabrication, installation, and de-installation of temporary exhibitions; and supervising the contract art handlers to ensure the exhibition schedule milestones are met.

Additionally, the Preparator conducts and manages the cleaning and care of objects from the campus collection, as well as the functioning of art storage. The Preparator is also responsible for care, tracking, and upkeep of art handling inventory, supplies, and technologies.

During exhibition:


	Conduct gallery maintenance, including dusting of platforms, pedestals, and vitrines, and assist with museum-wide lighting maintenance as needed.
