OVERVIEW

The five-day festival will incorporate exhibitions, films, concerts, performances, happenings, and nightlife occurring throughout downtown San Jose’s parks, public streets, museums, theaters and clubs.

CURATORIAL INTERN: FESTIVAL
ZERO1 is seeking a curatorial intern to work with Steve Dietz, the Artistic Director of ZER01 and the 01SJ Festival. Responsibilities will range widely but be focused on supporting all aspects of the exhibition and events programming, which includes a major international exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Art, commissioned public art throughout downtown San Jose, 5 days of performances and presentations, and the Future Films program, among other efforts.
This is an opportunity to become an integral part of the 2nd Biennial 01SJ Festival, working directly with the Festival Artistic Director and other Festival Staff. This experience presents access to work with some of the world’s leading contemporary artists, as well as key sponsors, organization partners and industry professionals, and to be involved in every aspect of a major international art festival. You will learn firsthand how an event of this magnitude is organized and executed, and have input into critical decisions made throughout the process – and you will come away with invaluable professional experience in exhibitions, special events and public art.
We are looking for a reliable, hard-working, self-starting, independent, enthusiastic individual who wants to be part of a Global Festival of Art on the Edge, and who can ideally commit to at least 30 hours per week, including at least 3 days on site in San Jose (more than full time during the installation and execution of the exhibition May 2-10 and the Festival itself June 4-8).
The curatorial-festival intern will receive a stipend of $5,000 with additional funds for travel and housing during the Festival. The position is open until filled and begins as soon as it is filled.
Exhibition installation dates: May 2-10, 2008
Festival dates: June 4-8, 2008.
