加布里埃尔，24岁 艺术历史 主修，辅修 历史, 博物馆研究 和 宗教研究, worked as an education intern, conducting 研究 for family guides for upcoming exhibitions, assisting his supervisors in organizing information from past events 和 helping to set up for family events.
“Because the Jewish Museum offers many different kinds of programs, I was almost always helping set up events within the galleries,加布里埃尔说。. “On days when there were no events, I spent time 研究ing upcoming exhibitions 和 brainstorming ideas for family guides that will be used in future shows.”
He also participated in a museum program called the Virtual Summer Institute, which brings all of the museum’s summer interns together to learn about museum practice from curators, collections managers 和 other museum professionals, 和 engage in discussions about current debates 和 issues within the museum field.
“It has been amazing to meet so many young professionals 和 have meaningful conversations with them about the institutions we all know 和 care about,加布里埃尔说。.
盖伯瑞尔’s internship has also stirred some feelings he wasn’t expecting: imposter syndrome. Finding himself surrounded by other talented students made him somehow feel as though he didn’t measure up. He said he found himself feeling less intelligent than his peers. He said talking to other interns was one of the most effective methods for dealing with his anxieties was talking to other interns.
“I found quickly that many of the other people participating in the internship felt the same way, which made me feel a lot less alone,他说. “I also reminded myself that there was a reason that I was chosen 和 that the Jewish Museum would not have picked me if I was unqualified. These self-affirmations helped me tremendously.”
盖伯瑞尔, 的Bayville, 新泽西, sought his internship at the Jewish Museum because he found that his “morals 和 values aligned really well with the mission statement for the museum,” which is to illuminate the complexity 和 vibrancy of Jewish culture, 分享想法, provoke dialogue 和 promote underst和ing. The internship also supported 盖伯瑞尔’s 艺术历史 capstone, which is centered around the concept of institutional critique — a method of art-making that utilizes art as a medium for the critique of oppressive institutional structures.
“In many museums, these difficult conversations being raised are ignored,加布里埃尔说。. “然而, the Jewish Museum’s summer internship not only recognizes these debates, but also provides a platform for current 和 future museum professionals to think about the responsibility of art institutions in society.”
