UCL East, Curator - Trellis 5
The Cultural and Community Engagement team for UCL East campus are looking for a Curator for Trellis 5. This role will work with artists to support the conceptual development of their artworks and lead on the curatorial vision of the Trellis 5 exhibition in March 2025.
Trellis is a multi-stage art commissioning programme that connects artists, UCL researchers, and local east London communities to co-create work together.
The programme began in 2018, when the first cohort of artists and researchers came together at a matchmaking event designed so artists and researchers could explore their shared interests. Since then, we have worked with over a hundred artists and researchers, and many local community individuals and organisations through a process which has so far led to 21 commissions across four exhibitions.
Each exhibition has been thematically framed by a curator who worked with the artists and their collaborators throughout the programme. We are now looking for the next curator to bring fresh ideas and vision to the programme with an ethos of collaboration and experimentation underpinning their work. Trellis 5 will consist of five new artist, researcher, and community collaborative commissions which will be exhibited in March 2025 in UCL East.
The curator will join the team in June 2024, in time to be part of the final commissioning panel (19 June), where the 5 commissions will be chosen from a shortlist of 11.
