What our previous students say about their internship:
Marie Junker (DK) KU, language student
……..I have really enjoyed being an intern there and would recommend it to others anytime. As it is a non-for-profit gallery, I think working as an intern at an international gallery stands out from so many other internships – you will have quite a lot of responsibility for the day-to-day running of the gallery, as Heike Arndt currently lives in Denmark where she manages the gallery in Kettinge on Lolland. This means that the interns in Berlin are in charge of their own work, as Heike is usually only in town up to and just after the exhibition openings. When Heike is in Denmark, everyday life in the gallery is conducted in such a way that regular skype meetings are held with her, which creates a good sense of security. It’s been a lot of fun and challenging to work in the gallery, and I’ve got a lot out of it – both professionally and personally. The internship is full-time work, but for me, everyday life in the gallery has been really fun, as I was surrounded by some super nice interns. I can only encourage you to apply for an internship if you are up for trying to work in a small non-for-profit institution that is doing a great job in developing the cultural platform in Berlin.
