de Appel is looking for an Archiving & Communications Intern!

de Appel is a daring institution founded in 1975. It soon became internationally known as an alternative institutional model, born out of artists' need to present performance and video art. Today, de Appel continues to act as a host for artistic and curatorial experimentation. Through a programme of embedded art in schools and society, a thirty-year-old Curatorial Programme and an active archive, de Appel brings people together to practise a mutual exchange of knowledge through exhibitions and live activations.
