    Assistant Curator & Curator of Online ProgrammesATLAS Gallery
    London, United KingdomFull Time
    A leading commercial gallery for photography in London, specialising in both vintage and modern works. During this time I have established a career and expertise in the curation of photographs, whilst leading the gallery’s digital development. Curation and Exhibition Logistics: Organising and co-curating our rotating, bi-monthly exhibitions, as well as our participation at national and international art fairs. This includes research, the arrangement of acquisitions, cataloguing, producing condition reports, writing exhibition texts and biographies, design and marketing. It also involves co-ordinating the production, framing, shipping, installations, storing and packaging of works, close inventory management and making travel arrangements. Digital curation and online promotion: My role at the gallery has evolved over the pandemic and I have developed a strong online presence for ATLAS. My focus is on digital programmes, online promotion and online marketing strategies. The renovation and development of the website is an on-going, long-term project, with implementing e-commerce to the website as one of my key achievements to date.
