Kunsthal Charlottenborg is seeking a dedicated and highly skilled maternity-leave cover for the position of Outreach Manager.

Kunsthal Charlottenborg is seeking a maternity leave replacement for our dissemination manager, who can ensure continued creation of meaningful encounters between a broad and diverse audience and contemporary art. We believe that art can open new perspectives, create conversations and give space to both reflection, curiosity and community. Through an active dissemination strategy we want to bring even more people into this encounter.

You will become part of a house in strong development, where dissemination plays an increasingly central role in the overall audience experience. Here, contemporary art meets the public in many different formats – from exhibitions, guided tours and educational programs to talks, events and digital and experimental dissemination approaches.

As a temporary replacement for our dissemination manager, you will play a central role in developing and realising dissemination across the house, including hosting, accessibility and wall texts in close collaboration with the curator. You must be able to translate complex artistic and academic content into formats that are accessible, sensory and relevant, while also having an eye for the fact that different people meet art in different ways. You will help rethink ways in which dissemination is experienced as an integrated part of the exhibitions.

We offer an exciting position in a dynamic international art environment with engaged colleagues, strong artistic collaborations and a great variation in the audience. You will become part of a dedicated team and work closely with curators, the communications department and front-of-house staff to create holistic audience experiences where dissemination is an integrated part. Together we work ambitiously to create an open, relevant and vibrant meeting place for contemporary art in Danish and international context.

Responsibilities

• Further develop and implement dissemination formats that support a lively, sensory and intuitive encounter between contemporary art and the audience.
• Adapt dissemination to different target groups – from school classes and students to professionals and a broad Danish and international audience.
• Prepare dissemination texts, teaching materials and digital initiatives that make complex artistic and theoretical content accessible to the many.
• Plan and carry out guided tours, introductions and audience encounters in connection with exhibitions.
• Hold internal workshops for hosts and educators that ensure the high quality of dialogue-based teaching.
• Actively contribute to the institution's safeguarding and continued development as a forward-looking, welcoming and relevant place for contemporary art in Danish and international context.

Qualifications

• Documented experience with art dissemination, including text production, guided tours and audience encounters.
• Strong dissemination skills, both written and oral, in Danish and English.
• In-depth knowledge of contemporary art and the ability to translate academic content into new formats.
• Experience working with different audience groups and target groups in new engaging ways.
• Educational background in art history, visual culture, pedagogy or similar.

Personal competencies

• Ability to create meaningful encounters between contemporary art and people.
• Creativity and innovation in dissemination formats and approaches.
• Initiative and independence combined with strong collaborative skills.
• Engagement, presence and a desire for dialogue with the public.

In addition, there is a pension contribution of 18.07% of the contractually agreed salary.
