David Zwirner is currently looking for a highly motivated Communications and Photography Intern to join our Internship Program at our London gallery.

Qualified candidates must be personable, organised, motivated, and responsible, with a strong interest in gaining hands-on experience across multiple departments of an art gallery. Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop is a mandatory requirement for this role, along with strong attention to detail and the ability to confidently operate a DSLR camera.

Press Tasks

  • Creating press clippings from online and print sources in a timely manner.

  • Assist when needed at press previews, artist book signings, tours/talks, and other related events, some of which will take place in the evening.
  • Assisting in the process of moving the press archive offsite (scan coverage, update spreadsheets, label and consolidate boxes of physical clippings ahead of shipment to storage).
  • Managing the online press clipping tracker.
  • Creating and maintaining detailed press reports for gallery and third-party exhibition.

Photo Tasks

  • Resizing, manipulating, and preparing images for server and database use.
  • Taking images with DSLR camera for social media or archival purposes.
  • Assisting with image editing and rendering creation.
  • Assisting with printing requests for sales purposes.
  • Updating artwork records with incoming imagery.
  • Providing AV documentation support during walkthroughs and event.

Archive, Library, and Book Tasks

  • Assisting the Front Desk Team with book inventory management, including occasional heavy lifting.
  • Supporting the maintenance, organisation, and inventory of the gallery library, with an emphasis on artist books, catalogues, and reference titles.
  • Assisting with research and acquisition of books and publications for upcoming exhibitions.
  • Packing and transporting books and archival materials to storage or other gallery locations.
  • Assisting with book displays, publication launches, and sales viewings.
  • Supporting David Zwirner Books with ongoing projects as required.
