Flip The Lens – internship

During my internship, I also had the chance to produce two videos on cultural subjects.

Having a passion for museums and the art and history it contains, I always wondered who is taking care of what is being displayed, and how it’s organized. Doing some researches, I learned about the job of art curator and decided to interview them.

I interviewed two art curators from different museums, trying to highlight their job and what it entails. Because the two museums are of different size, I thought it was interesting to look at the similitude and disparities between the daily life of these two art curator.

As part of the internship, the videos have been produced, recorded and edited by myself. I was also in charge of promoting them on social media and creating YouTube shorts.

This interview with art curator Jared Quinton, from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum in Hartford, CT shares the big picture of the how a big museum operates and the different tasks art curators have to deal with.

Amy Kurtz Lansing is the art curator for the Florence Griswold Museum, which is a smaller place. Although the job is very similar to what Quinton is doing, working for a smaller museum can require different skills and task.
