During the first three months I spent at the Angel Orensanz Foundation I developed a number of different projects related with technical support and exhibitions, along with video and web design. When I arrived at the Foundation I was helping prepare an exhibition named Matter/Light that was exhibited from the 3rd of March 2009 through the 6th. During the preparation of this project I was responsible for Light-Box installation, a vital part of the exhibit, along with checking the colour proves. I also developed some videos shown to the visitors of the exhibition (Orensanz in the snow). Moreover, I developed two webpages for the Angel Orensanz Art Foundation located in Lower East Side, Manhattan, New York:

orensanz.org - Official page of the Angel Orensanz Foundation, Inc.

orensanzEvents.com - Special Events at the Angel Orensanz Foundation, New york

After this exhibition my role changed to taking charge of the web department of the foundation as well a their video archive. I help develop changes within the Web department to ensure a less expensive, more professional running of the web services. As well as transferring all of the domains, email accounts and web-pages I also developed two new web-pages for the foundation:

orensanz.org - Official page of the Angel Orensanz Foundation, Inc.

artscapemagazine.com/blog - Artscape Magazine (A Magazine produced by the Foundation)

With relation to the video archive I have developed videos for the foundation on DVD, for exhibitions and for the web. I have also initiated digitizing and archiving over 30 years worth of footage that has been recorded by the foundation. Due to the vast amount of footage this is not a task that I will be able to complete in my three month period however the processes are now in place for someone else to complete.

I have also served as technical support for my colleagues in the foundation, installing programs, configuring email accounts, converting videos and formatting computers. Thanks to my previous experience I was able to help with a large number of varying technical difficulties faced by my colleagues.

In the last three months my role will involve the development orensanzevents.org, another page developed for the foundation which manages all of their events, As well as continuing with the video editing and archiving. Finally, in June, the Orensanz Foundation organized a ‘Orensanz Summer Museum’ for three months on Governors Island, NY, which will provide a number of new  tasks for myself and my colleagues. Basicly I was focus in the comunication job (news, newsletters, press-releases, etc) .
