Genesis p-orridge looking for an intern circa late 2001

I missed this originally but would have done it in a second!


posted on the offiial site circa late 2001



SERIOUS INTERN NEEDED FOR ARTIST GENESIS P-ORRIDGE:


The workload here in New York has become impossible for me to keep up with. I spend several hours a day simply doing adminstration and the most boring of business aspects of all our projects. The hidden amount of work needed to set up Thee Majesty gigs; catalogue 35 years of archives and publications; literally thousands of photographs and slides; original artworks; tape archives; exhibitions; writing and mundane daily L-if-E is unbelievable. I get fantastic assistance from Bengala, Miss Jacqui, Brian Damage, and others in my special family. Nevertheless the ratio of T.I.M.E. I get to spend making new work, writing new songs, and creating new thoughts has shrunk to an alarming degree in terms of what could happen. After a lot of thought I have decided to try what my dear friend DOUGLAS RUSHKOFF (check his site..click here) suggested. So I am looking for an intern to come in to work 2-3 days a week in our office. Any applicants will be reviewed and short-listed by Miss Jacqui. The resulting short-list of people will be interviewed by her and then a decision will be made.

So If you::-Live in Manhattan or Brooklyn and…Can work hard for 2-3 days a week. Are decisive and independently capable of working with INITIATIVE.

Have already got a pretty thorough overview of contemporary art, especially fluxus;mail art; and performance art from the 1970's to present.
Know of and have a serious interest in Industrial Music; TG and PTV.
Can work under pressure and complete tasks in the required time.
Do not feel demeaned or hurt by doing repetitive and unglamourous routine paperwork.
Have likeable, sociable and have good old fashioned manners.
Can type and do basic desktop publishing, scanning and indexing.
And if you are PATIENT and ENTHUSIASTIC and unimpressed by any form of even imagined celebrity.
Then send an email application and resume c/o our CONTACT address on the site or send a written resume to Miss Jacqui at:-Miss Jacqui,C/o Breyer/P-Orridge,P.O.Box 1400,New York,NY. 10009,Be sure to put "INTERN RESUME" in the bottom left corner of the envelope.
AND DON"T BOTHER UNLESS YOU REALLY ARE SERIOUS ABOUT WORKING HARD.
Thanks, Genesis and Miss Jacqui
