Our diverse and international list of clients includes institutions, art collectors, galleries, and artists. Day-to-day activities – at our Brooklyn headquarters, and on-site with clients – can include conservation treatment and documentation of an artwork, a strategy meeting with a museum director, a workshop with various stakeholders, time spent developing a roadmap for implementing digital preservation on a shoestring budget for an emerging artist’s studio, or research of emerging technologies being employed by artists. You are an expertly skilled communicator, and a highly motivated self-starter. People always tell you that you are great at making sense of and explaining complex things. You are passionate about art. You love to travel. You know your art history. You are organized, fastidious, and careful. Your ability to analyze a complex situation and derive a vision and perspective is unparalleled. You are a computer whiz. If someone was watching over your shoulder while you used a computer, they would probably ask “how did you do that”? You are interested in helping to shape the culture of a young and up-and-coming company.
