I Need An Intern

posted by on May 3 at 8:15 AM

It pains me to say it, but it is that time of the year when the lovely and talented Abigail Guay must retire to her South Pacific hideout. Otherwise, she’d *totally* continue performing the thankless, pay-free task of compiling the visual art calendar week in and out, doing the occasional research on arcane subjects, and cracking open the strange missives and first novels that arrive in my mailbox.

So until you must retire to your own South Pacific hideout (read: running and screaming from the tedium of data entry), would you like to take her place?

Here’s what I need: Organized. Meticulous. Knowledgeable about contemporary art. No flakes. Seriously about flakes: I’m not fooling.

And ideally, I’d love someone who, like Abigail, wants to write as an art critic. Here, here, and here are some of Abigail’s writings. (Not every intern writes, but the internship can lead to writing opportunities.)

If you’re interested, get in touch with me at jgraves@thestranger.com. The internships tend to last about 3-4 months, are unpaid, and take about 10 hours a week, at least some of which are during daylight hours.

When you write me, feel free to say something, anything, about this:

if art contains depictions of small children, only pervs, parents of small children, and grandparents think it is profound.

It reminds me of Peter Pan. Where are the adults? The kids seem completely absorbed in their own fantasy world, where the family pets are props for eerily grown-up war play. Camouflage -- have these children completely blended into the background in the minds of their parents, that they spend their time staging elaborate scenes reminiscent of Abu-Ghraib and primetime Iraq updates? Yeah -- creepy.

You might get some interesting responses with a simple ad in the Little Nickle.

I'd work for free if I could expect to be sexually harassed.
