The Parents Project

Background

Summary

Deceptively strong project assistant and freelance journalist. Interested in arts education, social media and social justice.

Over the past five years I've managed classes, coordinated teams and have, on more than one occasion, taken charge of a trapeze class. I've worked with various arts organisations in this capacity, including Tate, Frieze and Oklahoma Contemporary. I've also worked closely with artists to develop imaginative strategies for project management and team guidance. Recently, I've spent a summer sifting through rubbish for artist Joshua Sofaer's aptly named Rubbish Collection project and almost given myself repetitive shock syndrome tweeting for Suzanne Lacy's Silver Action.

In addition, I write, edit and commission pieces for The Leopard's culture section. I write compelling area guides, documentary film reviews, and review 21st century art books from publishers like Phaidon as well as small presses. I also set up interviews between our 100 dedicated journalists and musicians, artists, curators, publishers, and restauranteurs.

The Leopard

July 2014 – Present (9 months)London, United Kingdom

Culture Editor of Goldsmiths' student-run, student-led newspaper. I commission and edit all our culture content for online and print, as well as writing articles myself.

Supervisor at Frieze Masters

Frieze

September 2014 – October 2014 (2 months)London, United Kingdom

Having been promoted from my previous role at Frieze London and New York, I am turning my hand to London's Frieze Masters fair this year as a supervisor. In this role I am in charge of running the cloakroom and managing the 8 staff under me. The role involves arranging staff breaks and dealing with all aspects of the fair, including liaising with senior staff and visitors alike.

Goldsmiths, University of London

January 2013 – August 2014 (1 year 8 months)London, United Kingdom

Project Assistant

Science Museum Group

June 2014 – July 2014 (2 months)London, United Kingdom

Supporting artist Joshua Sofaer in the realisation of Phase 1 of the Rubbish Collection Project; sorting and documenting the rubbish over a 30 day period, alongside Science Museum staff and volunteers.

Managing the archive, directing volunteers and assisting with collecting and moving the rubbish around the Museum and exhibition space. Coordinating with all elements of the museums including curatorial staff, porters, cleaners, and the artist himself. Communicating the project to visitors and assisting them with the process of documenting the rubbish.

My favourite moment was helping the be-spectacled, be-suited and bemused senior curator of the Tekniska Museet sort through rubbish.
