KNIGHT INTERN: WATSUKI HARRINGTON
- Class of: 2010
- Major: Curatorial Studies
Knight Internship Fellowship Recipient 2009
My primary responsibility included assisting with the installation of Noguchi sculptures on the PMA’s new "green" rooftop located at the West entrance. To the museum's credit, it is the largest environmentally friendly garden atop a parking facility in the world. I was also taught how to use the museum's intranet system in order to facilitate the installation. I provided research on 20th century South American art movements, helped install art in the PMA's contemporary galleries and wrote label text.
My internship experience was challenging and rewarding because I worked on a range of projects. One of the most valuable lessons I learned came from attending meetings with other departments because I was able to observe the mechanics of the museum and see how everyone functions together towards the same goal.
