[spectre] FACT Liverpool vacancy - curator [new media]

[Michael Connor]

I hope job postings are OK within the etiquette of this list.

i'm moving to london and my job at FACT is opening up. i just wanted 
to add a couple of things to the bog-standard advert below. FACT is a 
really unique place in terms of its engagement with international 
discourse and the local context. Liverpool isn't a city, it's a hotly 
contested notion. It has lots of secrets, and the more you look 
around, the more you'll find, from lesbian karaoke bars to 
Amsterdam-style coffeeshops to 80s video game stars. And with Capital 
of Culture coming up in 2008, this could be an opportunity for 
someone to do something on a grand scale. Go for it...
