Jane Wynter, Benefaction Manager
Anne Flanagan, Deputy Director
The cheerful Packing Room staffDuring my internship Jane Wynter,Benefaction Manager,organised an excursion through the Conservation at the Art Gallery of New South Wales for another student on work experience and me. Jane was very helpful in detailing what Philanthropy work involves at the Gallery.
I am also thankful to Anne Flanagan, Deputy Director at the Art Gallery of New South Wales for taking time to explain what her job involves.
During the internship I bumped into Bambi Blumberg, she is the Art Gallery’s Aboriginal and Contemporary Collection Benefactors Co-ordinator. I was in the same class with her for one of my subjects at COFA, it’s a small world.
The celebration of the Archibald Exhibition’s opening at the end of a hectic day for the Media Relations staff also served as my goodbye drinks, organised by Susanne Briggs and Claire Martin. It was most touching.
At the office drinks I met Fiona Barbouttis, who works in Philanthropy as the Development Co-ordinator. It turns out she completed the Master in Arts Administration at COFA not too long ago.
Fiona kindly lent me her Research Paper, which began my process of thinking what topic to choose for the Research Paper subject I will be doing next semester.
That afternoon, I also briefly met Terence Maloon, the curator of the upcoming exhibition Paths to Abstraction, which will open on 26 June this year and be on till 19 September. He is embarking on an exciting project.
“ One of the most ambitious exhibitions the Art Gallery of New South Wales has ever undertaken, Paths to Abstraction will include more than 150 pivotal works by some of the most influential pioneers of modernism, spanning 50 years when paintings, drawings and prints edged their way by degrees towards purely non-representational images.”
“Terence Maloon has secured representative works of more than 40 of the leading artists of the late 19th and 20th centuries including Monet, Cézanne, Matisse, Munch, Gauguin, Picasso, Kandinsky, Duchamp, Braque, Bonnard and Mondrian among others.”
“These works are from 59 institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington; Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice; Museu Picasso Barcelona; Centre National d’Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou; Tate Modern; Tate Britain; J Paul Getty Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum as well as private collections.” www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/media/coming/paths_to_abstraction
It was a pleasure to get to know the informative and helpful Media Relations staff. It was great to meet some of the Gallery’s curators, the Gallery’s Director and the Deputy Director along with the staff members in Marketing, Philanthropy, Public Programs, Conservation and the Packing Room throughout my internship, who were each generous with their time and information about their work at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
