Peggy Guggenheim Collection – Europe Internships (Italy) November 4, 2008
Posted by cwslibrary in Italy, Juniors, Summer 2009, art, communication, history, museum, sophomores.comments closed
ORIGINS
What began in 1980 as an invitation to young people to assist operations in the early days of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection has developed into a competitive international internship program, involving the operation of Italy’s foremost modern art museum. It is the first and the only program of its kind in Italy. The work-study program offers an experience as unique and wide-ranging as the museum itself. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection, endowed with art of the full high Modernist spectrum, is situated in Venice. For young people interested in the arts, a Peggy Guggenheim Collection internship is an opportunity to profit from in-depth exposure to modern masterpieces and from involvement in Venice’s premier cultural environment simultaneously.
GROWTH
The steady expansion of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection from1980 to today parallels a comparable growth in the internship program. The number of students has increased from 6 to as many as 30 students per month. In 2007, of approximately 1,200 applicants, 161 were successful from 35 different countries. The program is organized by the Officer for Education, together with two former interns who are selected to return for a period of approximately 6 months to manage the daily and weekly activities of the group.
THE COLLECTION
In addition to Peggy Guggenheim’s collection of the classical avant-garde, the museum also presents on permanent display masterpieces from the Gianni Mattioli Collection (Futurism, Modigliani, Morandi) and modern sculpture from the Raymond and Patsy Nasher Collection. The permanent collection is integrated by temporary exhibitions.
Internship Description:
Interns assist in the daily operation of the museum four days a week. They prepare galleries prior to opening, guard the rooms, answer questions from the public, sell tickets and catalogues, and close the museum at the end of the day. Interns are assigned to help staff in the offices (administration, public affairs, press, library, publications, registrar research, retail operations). They also act as docents. In particular they may be involved in presentations to visitors and in KIDS’ DAY—guided visits and workshops on Sundays for junior members of the visiting public.
These tasks involve considerable daily responsibility. Part of the experience is, therefore, work of a varied nature. In addition, through its ownership of the US Pavilion, the museum has direct involvement with the US presentation at the Venice Biennale. Consequently, interns may have the privilege of assisting in the world’s oldest international contemporary art event. Several times a week interns meet for discussions and seminars on art historical or museological issues. These seminars are conducted by the interns themselves as well as by staff members or visiting professionals. Speakers in 2007 have included curators Paola Mola and Fabio Vittucci (Medardo Rosso exhibition); Associate Curator Luca Massimo Barbero, and respected art historian Robert Hewison. Museum staff speaks regularly to the interns about their role in the museum and upcoming projects. Visits in and outside Venice are planned twice a month to allow interns to view exhibitions and cultural and historical sites in various Italian cities. Interns have the exclusive use of the museum’s library of modern and contemporary art and enjoy enough free time to study privately, attend language courses and lectures, and take trips around Venice and elsewhere in Italy.
Ideal Internship Qualification:
|
Logistical: Background in Art History, who are trained in and express a desire to pursue a career in the arts—whether applied art, art history, teaching, gallery or auction professions, museum administration or curatorship. Students must have knowledge of Italian.
