Reports To: Creative Director, Figment Museum
What You’ll Do (Your Core Mission)You’ll shape the artistic soul of Figment’s conserved shop houses—curating residents and artworks that fit the architecture
, producing exhibitions and artist residencies with strong project management, building a clean registrar (registrar = the system of record for artworks/objects, their condition, and their locations), and growing revenue via Figment Editions sales.
1) Residency Curation & Artist Relations
- Curate and evaluate residency applications; select artists aligned with Figment’s vision and shophouse context.
- Serve as the main point of contact for resident artists (onboarding, schedules, production needs).
- Guide artists toward site‑responsive outcomes connected to neighborhood + shophouse stories.
2) Exhibitions & Installations (Project Management Required)
- Oversee installation: packing/unpacking, condition checks, hanging, labels, lighting notes, presentation standards.
- Coordinate with operations/property teams so art is protected and homes stay guest‑ready.
- Curate and suggest artworks that complement each home’s architecture, materials, sightlines, and guest journey.
- Collaborate closely with the Creative Director (and interior/project teams) to align art placement with design intent.
- Register artworks and objects across Figment Homes (artist/title/medium/dimensions/edition info/provenance/condition/location/images/handling notes).
- Maintain ongoing accuracy (movements, audits, condition reports, documentation hygiene).
5) Museum + Art House Storytelling (Not “Marketing”—Interpretation)
- Develop narratives across Figment Museum and Figment Art Houses about:
- neighborhood history + architecture
- artists living/working within the shop houses
- “why this work belongs here” interpretive text
- Produce interpretive assets: house guides, wall texts, object labels, tour scripts.
- Support the Print Editions pipeline (documentation, certificates, pricing info, inventory, packaging/handling guidance).
- Help convert interest into sales through tasteful collector touchpoints during events and private previews.
- Coordinate clean handoffs for fulfillment and collector follow-up
7) Grants & Partnerships (Secondary)
- Support grant applications and relationships that strengthen residencies/exhibitions.
