    Freelance Store Assistant and CuratorNorwegian Rain & T-Michael
     - London, United KingdomFreelance
    • Collaboratively developing the brand to secure a foothold in London over a 6 - 12 month period • Opening and closing of the store, dealing with varied customer enquiries in-store and via email, cash handling and processing sales, organising local and International shipping and delivery, organising and running events, running social media platforms, creating and updating mailing lists • Formulating and curating an exhibition programme to coincide with and further promote the aesthetic of the retail space and brands. Created exhibition concept titled SCANDI-GAN. Scandi-GAN is the first in a series of cross-cultural investigations via an exhibition juxtaposing Mid Century Scandinavian furnishings and accessories with NextGAN artworks with an aim of facilitating aesthetic convergence between cross-cultural art, design and craft .The unifying theme is that conceptually sound, high quality yet emotionally authentic furniture accentuates art of a similar nature and vice versa. The idea is that the Scandi—GAN concept can continually evolve as a series of exhibitions marrying a select number of Mid Century Scandinavian dealerships with a talented roster of NextGAN artists showing the work in a variety of alternative spaces. Scandi represents the informal shortening of almost all things Scandinavian whilst GAN is an acronym for Generation Africa Now, a title that arose from the desire to create an annex to the stifling and now saturated movement of Contemporary African Art.
