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.

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.
