A wide range of services offered by New Media Curation are available to clients.  Please see below an overview of what is available and details regarding price, contracts, and invoicing.

Services Offered

• Materials Sourcing:- Whether utilizing an institutions' workshop or relying on community contacts, sourcing materials for the presentation of new media artworks can be challanging.  NMC's director has been dealing with both Sydney and Melbourne institutions and businesses for 3 years doing exactly this, particularly in the areas of perspex frames to disguise computer hardware or wireless audio visual devices acting as data input points. 
• Venue Sourcing and Liaison:- There are many options for exhibition in both urban and rural environments.  From regional galleries to artist run spaces and commercial galleries in urban centres, NMC is happy to submit applications on your behalf and act as your liaison up to and including the exhibition period.
• Promotions:- In the event that an exhibition venue does not have it's own advertising in place, NMC can offer the design and realization of flyers, press releases, and wall text.  These items would remain the property of NMC.
• Publication:- Often when exhibiting cutting edge works or planning a conference or workshop, a client is required to produce a publication.  Researching, writing and editing a publication is readily offered with each exhibition, be it a room brochure, a catalogue, or conference/workshop proceedings.  NMC can offer ISBNs or accommodate institutional requests.  As a registered business, NMC can also offer the publications for sale during and after the exhibition.
• Public Programmes:- As much a part of the exhibition as the launch event, a strong series of public programmes can often augment and solidify any promotion campaign.  Invited speakers, film series, artist-guided tours, and artist-led interactions can assist in removing any inherent technophobia and encourage members of the community to participate in interactive exhibitions in a hands-on, educative manner.

Payment for Services

Collaborations will usually last between 2-6 months depending on the size of the exhibition and where it will showcase.  Contracts will be provided and signed, and payments collected at the close of the exhibition via invoice.  Services, costs, payments, and reimbursements will be discussed at the beginning of the collaboration.  

Please note: Electronic payment is requested within 14 days of the invoice, with a 5% surcharge incurred each week it is overdue.

Deborah Turnbull is a new media curator. Her first curatorial project was an experimental space focused on the audience's role in interactive art, which fuels her interest in how technology can augment traditional art practice.  Until recently, Deborah facilitated this interest by curating Beta_Space through the Creativity and Cognition Studios, a new media prototype exhibition space at the Powerhouse Museum.

Deborah has recently shifted her focus to becoming concerned with how artists take what they have learned in galleries like Beta_Space and apply it to the next stage of exhibition: in finished spaces. As an independant curator working across platforms in Sydney (university galleries, public institutions, ARIs, appropriated public spaces, experimental spaces) she has spent the last few years persuing this interest, recently being rewarded with major contracts, with names such as UTS Events and Exhibitions and KWON MILLER PRODUCTIONS. 2010 has seen her procure corporate contracts with Energy Australia, and she continues to expand her writing skills in an education contract via the UTS School of Design.

She previously managed the 2006 CCS Symposium ENGAGE: Interaction, Art and Audience Experience, held in November 2006, and was named co-editor on the proceedings. She has co-ordinated with AMP for the Innovation and Thought Leadership Festival, curated and co-ordinated a live performance at Carriageworks (Sydney) called Correspondences in Sound and Vision; and has worked in collaboration with the Conny Dietzschold Gallery (Sydney), the UTS Gallery (Sydney), Federation Square (Melbourne) and the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC.
