MoMA • Long Island City, NY

About The Position

MoMA PS1 champions how art and artists are at the intersection of the social, cultural, and political issues of their time. Providing audiences with the agency to ask questions, access to knowledge, and a forum for public debate, PS1 has offered insight into artists’ diverse worldviews for more than 45 years. Founded in 1976 by Alanna Heiss, the institution was a defining force in the alternative space movement in New York, transforming a 19th-century public schoolhouse in Long Island City into a site for artistic experimentation and creativity. With an annual budget of approximately $12M, PS1 has been a member of New York City’s Cultural Institutions Group (CIG) since 1982, and affiliated with The Museum of Modern Art since 2000. As a key member of the Communications and Audience Strategy team, the Fellow supports the production of video and digital content across the institution’s website, social media, email, digital visitor guide, and archive. To sustain our robust digital content and marketing schedule, the Fellow will produce video, audio, and photography for the range of MoMA PS1’s programs, including exhibitions, performances, public programs, and digital-first initiatives. Working collaboratively with colleagues across departments at PS1, the Fellow will support digital content production in all stages, including recording live interviews, organizing and sharing video footage, editing content, liaising with transcription and captioning vendors, implementing title cards, photographing in-person events, and gathering image assets and credits. The Fellowship serves a six (6) month term with the possibility of extending to a full year. Fellows receive an opportunity for hands-on training within a contemporary art institution and an understanding of how MoMA PS1 operates, develops programs and engages audiences. The Fellowship serves as a launching pad for individuals within the arts and management fields to hone their skills and attain real world experience with structure and support.
