The Curator in Residence is part of Carclew’s Residency Program that provides artists with the chance to reside in a space where they can develop their artform, and along with the Curator, gain industry support and access opportunities to expand their professional networks. We also offer two Artist in Residence studios.
The Curator in Residence position is suitable for emerging curators and arts professionals who are seeking further experience in the curation and management of visual arts exhibitions.
The exhibitions aim to profile the work of South Australia’s young and emerging visual artists, and applicants for the Curator position should therefore have a good knowledge of the local contemporary visual arts arena. The curator is responsible for the artwork selection, coordination, installation and smooth delivery of four to six exhibitions over a one-year period.
Carclew's 2019 Curator in Residence is Jack McBride. Carclew’s 2019 Artists in Residence are Loren Orsillo and Felicity Townsend.

Jack McBride
Jack is a final-year student completing a Bachelor’s degree of Visual/Contemporary Art at the University of South Australia. His practice revolves around the psychological theory that humans have a universal unconscious; that ancestral archetypes have shaped our way of thinking as a whole. Concepts are built around the reactions that are expressed by individuals when exposed to a particular stimulus, focusing on the question as to whether we really do interact and react as a whole. Jack’s creative work is primarily in drawing, photography and new media, but since starting university has shifted into the areas of painting and printmaking. His real passion over the last 4 years has developed into the curatorial and museum side of the arts. As a student in his third year, Jack is exploring options that will further his dream of becoming a senior director/curator of a major Australian gallery. Jack’s passion is to help people to understand the complexities and beauty of art through exposure to artists in various practices.
