1646

1646 is an international art space in The Hague, with a rich history of exhibitions for emerging and established artists. The program showcases innovative and critical artistic practices, supporting artists locally, nationally, and internationally in creating new work.

1646 programs artists who explore critical societal ideas using strategies such as fictioning, complicating, and humor. Fiction is an essential tool for imagining the world differently. Similarly, embracing and celebrating complexity, contradiction, and paradox-as inherent qualities of human existence-is essential to counterbalance the dominance of rationality and logic. Finally, the use of playfulness and humor as tools is necessary to maintain an open attitude.

This vision translates into an ambitious exhibition programme, a residency programme, and public activities, including screenings, performances, and presentations both within and beyond the exhibition space.

1646 is led by two directors and supported by a small, dedicated team including a Business Coordinator, a Production team member, a Marketing, PR and Communications team member, and a Public, Education and Inclusion team member, working in close collaboration with a pool of freelancers and volunteers.

Due to the departure of our current Production team member, we are seeking an Exhibition & Programme Producer who can translate artistic plans into technically well-considered, organisationally solid, and high-quality realisations.

The Role

As Exhibition & Program Producer, you are ultimately responsible for the production and technical realization of the exhibition program, the residency program, and the associated programming.

You work closely with artists, residents, and the core team of 1646 - particularly the curators - as well as with freelancers and volunteers. You are involved from the start and oversee the technical feasibility, scheduling, budgeting, safety, and execution throughout the entire process.

You combine project management with technical expertise and are also hands-on in the setup and realization of the projects.

Job Requirements

- Proven experience in producing exhibitions and/or art projects. - Technical knowledge of exhibition construction, structures, materials, and audiovisual applications. - Insight into spatial translation of artistic concepts. - Experience with planning, budget monitoring, and project coordination. - Ability to independently structure and manage production processes. - Strong organizational skills, accuracy, and decisiveness. You maintain an overview even under time pressure and have a strong sense of responsibility. - Good communication skills in Dutch and English. - Experience coordinating volunteers or leading teams is a plus.

Given the nature of the work, preference will be given to candidates residing in (the region of) The Hague. Occasional evening and weekend work during events is part of the role.
