Curator Buro Stedelijk

 

Please find the vacancy text below.

Curator Buro Stedelijk
32 hours a week

In 2023, the Stedelijk Museum opened Buro Stedelijk, a new, independent project space. Buro Stedelijk is a platform for testing new creative ideas and futures, shaped by makers from Amsterdam and beyond. Conceived as a fully autonomous space, Buro Stedelijk functions as a critical and self-critical thorn in the eye of the acclaimed Stedelijk Museum.

Beginning in December 2022, founding curators Azu Nwagbogu and Rita Ouédraogo worked in close collaboration to define Buro Stedelijk’s programming and vision. Under Rita Ouédraogo’s leadership, since December 2023, Buro Stedelijk has grown into a vibrant, forward-thinking platform for contemporary art, culture, and design. Given that the appointment is for a fixed period of 3 years, we are currently seeking a new curator to begin in 2026.

The Stedelijk Museum is looking for a:
Curator Buro Stedelijk
32 hours per week

Buro Stedelijk’s artistic direction is entirely independent of the museum’s thematic focus and programming. Buro Stedelijk functions largely autonomously and can respond more swiftly to topical issues. At the same time, Buro Stedelijk operates within the museum walls.

Housed on the ground floor of the historic building, Buro Stedelijk has access to two spaces. The Central Space—a square exhibition location with a surface area of over 200 m2—and the Studio Space, which is situated directly next to the museum’s former entrance on Paulus Potterstraat and can be used either as an office or a project space. During special evening openings and events, Buro Stedelijk will be accessible through the Paulus Potterstraat entrance.

The successful candidate will report to the director and will work closely with a Buro Stedelijk project manager. An advisory board acts as a sounding board and plays a key role in recruiting the new curator.

Duties & Responsibilities:

Developing concepts for exhibitions, debates, symposia, lectures and other activities and, working closely with the project leader, implementing the programming:
Keeping abreast of practices, activities and developments in the field of contemporary art and being alert to ways in which Buro Stedelijk can benefit from these opportunities:
Conceiving and initiating collaborative concepts for the benefit of Buro Stedelijk, and of the collaborative partners and artists involved:
Positioning Buro Stedelijk as an autonomous body within the Stedelijk.

Profile:

We are looking for a curator with a strong position in the cultural field, a vision responsive to experiment and innovation, a distinctive working style and close ties with artists and designers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and beyond.

Knowledge of art history is not the most important criterion. Ideally, the curator possesses a dynamic, focused vision and has organized relevant projects in the past three years. A second language besides English and an educational background or relevant professional experience or research outside Western Europe and North America are a plus.

Alumni of leading curatorial programs (national and international) are invited to apply. We also welcome applications from curators outside of the established ranks.

Buro Stedelijk is guided by the principles of inclusion and broadening and actively explores ways of engaging with new and diverse publics. The curator is selected on the basis of a pluralistic vision of the program and their commitment to addressing socially engaged themes. The contrasting positions of the curator and the participating artists will strengthen the multivocality of the organization as a whole.

The position:

The curator is initially appointed for a period of 1.5 years with the possibility of an extension for another 1.5 years. The curator is selected by an advisory board consisting of representatives of De Ateliers, the Rijksakademie, the Stedelijk Museum, and an independent member, in consultation with the director of the Stedelijk Museum.

We offer an employment contract for 32 hours a week.

Depending on educational background and experience, the salary is between € 4,131 and € 5,516 per month for a full-time (36-hour) contract of employment (scale 11 Museum CAO), excluding holiday allowance and year-end bonus.

Information:

For more information about this position, please contact Director Rein Wolfs (director@stedelijk.nl).

How to apply:

If you are interested in this position, please submit your resume and cover letter via Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam website by October 12 at the latest.

 

 

Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam vacature voor Curator Buro Stedelijk

Het Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam heeft een vacature geplaatst voor een Curator Buro Stedelijk. De vacature is beschikbaar via de onderstaande link. Aanmelden kan alleen via het online formulier op de Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam website. De vacature is beschikbaar tot uiterlijk 12 oktober a.s. Alle communicatie over de vacature loopt via het Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

Curator Buro Stedelijk

 

Hieronder de vacature tekst.

Curator Buro Stedelijk
32 uur per week

Binnen het Stedelijk Museum opende in 2023 Buro Stedelijk, een nieuwe plek met een eigen programmering. Buro Stedelijk presenteert zich als een podium waar de creatieve toekomst wordt onderzocht en vormgegeven door makers uit Amsterdam en daarbuiten. Buro Stedelijk heeft een eigen autonome rol binnen het Stedelijk en functioneert als kritische en zelfkritische plek binnen de muren van het grote museum.

Vanaf december 2022 hebben de oprichters-curatoren Azu Nwagbogu en Rita Ouédraogo gezamenlijk het inhoudelijke raamwerk van Buro Stedelijk gestalte gegeven. Onder leiding van Rita Ouédraogo is Buro Stedelijk sinds december 2023 uitgegroeid tot een vitaal platform voor hedendaagse kunst, cultuur en design. Aangezien de aanstelling voor het curatorschap voor maximaal drie jaar is, zijn we nu op zoek naar een nieuwe curator, die per 2026 kan beginnen.

Het Stedelijk Museum zoekt een:
Curator Buro Stedelijk
32 uur per week

De artistieke koers van Buro Stedelijk is onafhankelijk van de inhoudelijke grote lijnen van het museum. Buro Stedelijk functioneert in hoge mate autonoom en kan sneller reageren op de actualiteit. Tegelijkertijd opereert Buro Stedelijk wel binnen de muren van het museum.

Buro Stedelijk heeft in het Stedelijk de beschikking over een vierkante tentoonstellingszaal in de oudbouw op de begane grond met ruim 200 m2 oppervlakte, de zogenaamde Central Space. Daarnaast staat een ruimte direct naast de oude entree aan de Paulus Potterstraat ter beschikking – de zogenaamde Studio Space -, die ook als kantoorruimte en als projectruimte gebruikt kan worden. De entree aan de Paulus Potterstraat kan op bepaalde momenten exclusief voor het Buro Stedelijk worden geopend.

De te benoemen curator rapporteert aan de directeur en werkt nauw samen met een projectleider Buro Stedelijk. Een adviesraad fungeert als klankbord en speelt ook een belangrijke rol in de werving van de nieuwe curator.

De functie-inhoud:

Ontwikkelen van concepten voor tentoonstellingen, debatten, symposia, lezingen en andere activiteiten en in samenwerking met de projectleider realiseren van de programmering;
Bijhouden van activiteiten en ontwikkelingen op het gebied van de hedendaagse kunst en alert zijn op kansen die deze bieden voor het Buro Stedelijk;
Bedenken en initiëren van samenwerkingsconcepten die ten behoeve komen van Buro Stedelijk en van de betrokken samenwerkingspartners en kunstenaars;
Profileert Buro Stedelijk als een onafhankelijk orgaan binnen het Stedelijk.

Het profiel:

Wij zoeken een curator met een verbindende positie in het culturele veld, een scherpe en vooruitziende blik, een eigenzinnige manier van werken en connecties met Amsterdamse, Nederlandse en internationale kunstenaars en vormgevers.

Kunsthistorische kennis is niet het belangrijkste criterium. Belangrijk is vooral dat de curator beschikt over een visie en relevante projecten heeft gerealiseerd in de afgelopen drie jaar. Een tweede taal naast het Engels en een opleidingsachtergrond of relevante werkervaring of onderzoek buiten West-Europa en Noord-Amerika zijn een pre.

Alumni van vooraanstaande curatorial programs (nationaal en internationaal) worden uitgenodigd om te solliciteren. Daarnaast zijn echter ook curatoren buiten de gevestigde orde welkom om te solliciteren.

Buro Stedelijk vertrekt vanuit de grondgedachte van inclusie en verbreding en onderzoekt actief de mogelijkheden om nieuwe en verschillende doelgroepen aan te spreken. De curator wordt geselecteerd op basis van een pluriforme visie op het programma en de kwaliteit om ook maatschappelijk geëngageerde thema’s aan te spreken. De verschillende posities van de curator en de deelnemende kunstenaars dragen in ieder geval bij aan de meerstemmigheid van de gehele organisatie.

De aanstelling:

De curator wordt in eerste instantie voor een periode van 1,5 jaar benoemd met de mogelijkheid van een verlenging van nog eens 1,5 jaar. De curator wordt door een adviesraad gekozen die is samengesteld uit vertegenwoordigers van de De Ateliers, de Rijksakademie, het Stedelijk Museum en een onafhankelijk lid, in samenspraak met de directeur van het Stedelijk Museum.

Er wordt een arbeidsovereenkomst geboden voor 32 uur per week. Het salaris ligt afhankelijk van opleiding en ervaring tussen € 4.131 en € 5.516 per maand bij een fulltime (36 uur) dienstverband (schaal 11 Museum cao), exclusief vakantietoeslag en eindejaarsuitkering.

Informatie:

Voor meer informatie over deze functie kan contact worden opgenomen met directeur Rein Wolfs (director@stedelijk.nl).

Solliciteren:

Indien je geïnteresseerd bent in deze functie, kun je tot uiterlijk 12 oktober a.s. je cv en motivatiebrief insturen via de sollicitatieknop op de Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam website.

Every year on the 1st of July we commemorate slavery and celebrate the abolition of slavery: Keti Koti. Since we believe that Keti Koti should be a national holiday, we are closed on the 1st of July. We asked Lydiënne Albertoe to design a graphic work for this particular occasion. The work is placed on the door of our Central Space and the windows of the Studio Space.
