International Internships

Artlab hosted visiting intern from Finland...

Maija Korkalainen visited Artlab in 2006 on a three month internship as part
of her third year studies in International Business at Jyvaskyla Polytechnic, Finland. During her stay Maija developed her understanding of cultural industries and their development opportunities and refine her business analysis skills.

Maija's placement came at an opportune time for Artlab as we were developing business and strategic marketing plans including focusing on international and in particular, the Asia Pacific market.

For the benefit of those who would like to hear first hand about Artlab's International Internship program I asked Maija the following questions...

• In what areas do you feel that your time at Artlab will enhance your skills and knowledge?
• What benefits do you see for Artlab from the experience of hosting overseas interns like yourself?
• It's always interesting to hear about our intern's home towns....Could you tell us a bit about yours?
• For those who might be interested could you tell us about the work arrangement and visa conditons that apply in your situation?
• What have been your impressions of Adelaide/Australia physically and culturally?

National Museum, Malaysia cultural and
study visit....

Artlab hosted visitors from Malaysia at the request of Dato' Dr. Adi Hj Taha, the Director General of the Department of Museums and Antiquities, National Museum of Malaysia. Zamrul Amri and Nirmala, curators from the museum's Conservation Centre, spent four weeks working with conservators and gaining an overview of practices in object, painting, paper, textile and preventive conservation.

Pictured below with Senior Administration Officer, Ian Page are from left to right: Mohamed Yusnizal, Zamrul Amri, Ian Page, Nirmala and Wan Nurul Balkis.

They learned much during their stay and felt well accepted; in their words like "part of the family". Zamrul and Nirmala both expressed the desire to return to Australia at some point and we wish them well as they share their experiences with colleagues in their home country....

An overview of the program...

Artlab's international internship program, has proven to be a mutually beneficial exchange of ideas, technical expertise and culture, for its participants from China, France, Germany, Singapore, United Kingdom and Vietnam and Artlab as an organisation.

So far we have hosted final year and post graduate students, who have made a contribution to Artlab's work in the areas of paintings, objects and paper conservation, as well as arts marketing and cultural management.

Unfortunately due to financial and visa restrictions, we are unable to fund participants expenses. We can assist with information regarding suitable accommodation. The duration of internships is normally two to four weeks.
