I apologise in advance for posting this request to a large professional community, but . . .. I am a third (penultimate) year undergraduate student in Scotland, seeking internship opportunities for Summer 2001 in Britain or the USA. I am pursing a course of Art History and Social Anthropology, and have been researching several related aspects of museological knowledge and display, (ie., contemporary art practices and the museum, anthropological knowledge vs. objects-on-display). I am interested in working (on a stipend or pay basis--sorry, no volunteer internships are possible for me) with an off-beat historical or art museum. My favourite museum is the John Soane Museum in London, and I would love to work with an institution that has a similar commitment to both preserving artefacts and commissioning new work (A large order, I know). I am, of course, pursuing several opportunities at the larger national institutions. If anyone knows of a good opportunity that I may have overlooked in my internet researches or has a grant-funded or short term research position available, I would be very interested in hearing about it. I am hoping that I may spend this summer in rewarding work that will point me in a more rigourously professional direction than I have hitherto found. Your institution could be a part of this remarkable experiment in theory meeting praxis! (Excuse, please, the hyperbole). Many thanks for your time and patience. Leo Coleman University of St. Andrews Scotland PS--I am a (relatively) mature student, and have had various jobs in the not-for-profit and university sector in New York City in the past--that is, I am not a rank amateur when it comes to archival and research work. Thanks. ********************************************** All art is erotic. --Adolf Loos ********************************************** All art is erotic. --Adolf Loos ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
