The Independents Biennial Liverpool requires a Press & Media Consultant.
£2K fixed fee.

The independents are the exhibitions, events and goings-on of artists, gallerists and visual media activists making their mark, independently, at Liverpool Biennial 2006. The Independents are not themed, categorised or curated by the City's institutions. They are there on their own terms, doing their own thing, looking for attention, dialogue and interaction.

IBL requires the services of a savvy, fast-moving individual (or company) to secure both specialist and popular media coverage for a diverse programme of exhibitions, events and happenings. The Consultant will need to collate content for press packs and get the packs to the right people at the right time. The Consultant will liase with artists and the media in relation to photo / interview opportunities and associated activities. The Consultant must be able to write copy, e.g. the Consultant will be expected to conduct and publish interviews with artists for IBL's website.

The Biennial period runs 16 September - November 26, however, this consultancy will focus on the late August to mid-October period. Availability to make an early start will be appreciated. An inclusive fixed fee of £2K is offered. The Consultant will be responsible for their own tax and NI. If interested please forward a CV, two references and evidence of ability to meet IBL's requirements
