Internship - Studio Apelbaum - Art, Engineering or Communication (Berlin)

We are looking for interns in art, engineering, and communication to join Studio Apelbaum. Studio Apelbaum, founded by artist and engineer Jonathan Apelbaum, combines traditional oil painting with interactive technology to create ‘Cognitive Paintings’ that shift images with light, movement, and sound through custom LED systems and software. Our team includes engineers, musicians, performers, writers, designers, and builders. We are currently building a new 150 m² studio at Osloer Straße 16–17 in the historic Umspannwerk Christiania, with a workshop and our own exhibition space. Our own series of invitation-only events and exhibitions is central to the new studio. Over the next few months, we will design and build adaptable furniture in steel and oak so the same room can host work, an exhibition, dinner, and an event. The whole team is artists in their own way; they think differently and create their own methods. We create the artworks, design the space, invite our guests, and welcome them. C’est le principe de l’œuvre complète / architecture verticale. How the internship works The internship is hands-on and involves working closely with the team across the studio: building, production, and exhibitions. The first part of the internship will focus on building the new studio, including steel and oak furniture and the adaptable exhibition and dining space. You will then develop the Cognitive Paintings and assemble and test the paintings and their LED systems. Over the six months, you will take on a main project based on your skills and interests, guided by the team. This could include engineering, programming, communication, music, design, documentation, filming, or any related field. During the internship, you will gradually develop your own main project based on your skills and interests, in collaboration with Jonathan. This project can develop further and become one of your main areas of work within the studio. You will also help prepare our major exhibition in May 2
