The Art Newspaper haastatteli EMMAn johtajaa, Krist Gruijthuijsenia museon ja Saastamoisen säätiön uudesta yhteistyömuodosta, joka tukee taiteilijoita heidän uransa keskeisissä vaiheissa!
"A Finnish museum is launching an ambitious new model of artist support that goes far beyond the standard exhibition schedule to encompass financial, practical and institutional backing. 'I want to break with the cycles of announcing a year’s programme, working with three-month shows and giving artists a symbolic fee of €10,000 when you know they’re working their asses off practically full-time,' says Krist Gruijthuijsen, the new director of Finland’s largest art museum, Espoo Museum of Modern Art (EMMA)."
"For Gruijthuijsen, the point is to rethink what a museum is for. 'It’s really very much about the support system to a person, not just to the artwork,' he says. 'I want it to be something where the artist truly feels there is time and support to develop this major exhibition.'”
