An interest in or familiarity with non-Western art and art histories will be a distinct advantage. A familiarity with audio- and video-editing software will also be an advantage.

Key Responsibilities

You will work with the teams on ArtReview, ArtReview Asia, and artreview.com to assist with image research, copyediting, and fact-checking, and may be asked to contribute English-language articles across all titles. You will be responsible for researching and creating news stories for artreview.com. You will also work with the Commercial team on partnership posts and activations. There will be opportunities to contribute editorial content across all platforms and to be involved in the commissioning and management of editorial.

You will monitor exhibitions, movies, and books both in the UK and abroad to suggest items for potential review.
