INTERNSHIP: Production Assistance

Studio Julian Charrière is offering a three month paid for credit summer internship position.
About the artist:
Julian Charrière is a French-Swiss artist based in Berlin, Germany, whose work bridges the realms of environmental science and cultural history. Marshaling performance, sculpture, and photography, his projects often stem from fieldwork in remote locations with acute geophysical identities such as volcanoes, ice-fields, and radioactive sites. To date, his work has explored post-romantic constructions of ‘nature’, staging tensions between deep or geological timescales and those relating to mankind. Charrière’s approach further reflects upon the mythos of the quest and its objects in a globalized age. Deploying seemingly perennial imagery to contemporary ends, his interventions at the borderline of mysticism and the material encapsulate our fraught relations with place today.
Internship conditions:
The internship will be full-time, Monday through Friday, start date 17.07. until 11.10.2024. The position will be paid. Let us know if you have any conflicts as we are willing to be flexible for the right person.
Candidates must be highly-motivated, independent-thinking problem solvers. The studio is a busy place with many things going on all at once and the ideal intern will be someone who can boldly integrate themselves into the system, finding ways to be helpful at all times.
