Virtual Migrants’ launch a short film documentary and a set of video interviews on YouTube from their installation “BUY THIS (The Centre Cannot Hold Part 1)”.

They include a critical interview with Arun Kundnani and a new short film documenting the installation work as shown at The Arnolfini gallery (Bristol), along with new texts which describe the installation and discuss its aesthetic and cultural approach. This coincides with the installation’s last week on show at The Arnolfini, as part of the C-Words exhibition curated by Platform (London).

This is the first phase of an ongoing and broader project for which we welcome any expressions of interest and contributions towards developing a major project next year. Contact: infovirtualmigrants.com.

Matt’s Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in Mile End funded by Arts Council England and other major trusts and foundations. We are pleased to announce the next Stanley Picker Internship at Matt’s Gallery. Now in its third year this bursaried internship will run from January 2010 to June 2010.

The first two months of the programme will introduce a broad range of administrative tasks within the gallery. This will involve working closely with the director and three gallery managers on a range of projects including exhibitions, education, fundraising and general gallery management. At the end of the first phase there will be a review with the Director and Gallery Manager Managers. This discussion will look at progress to date and establish the intern’s area of focus for the remainder of the internship. A plan of work for the remaining four months of the internship will be agreed with the gallery director and managers.

This is an opportunity for a recent graduate or postgraduate to gain valuable experience working as part of the gallery team. The internship is offered on a part-time basis for 6 months (two days per week). A bursary of £2,000 will be paid over the course of the internship, the equivalent of approximately £40 per day. Applicants should have a strong desire to learn and develop within a professional gallery environment and will be required to demonstrate knowledge of the visual arts and an aptitude for research, as well as good administrative, communication and organisational skills.

ArtWash is moving into it’s next stage of development and is now led and co-curated by Barry Reeves, Ann Rapstoff and Kay Sentance who are expanding the monthly showcases into a national and international exchange between artists across disciplines.
