This Autumn has brought new colleagues to Frame’s office. We are delighted to welcome Director Juha Huuskonen, Programme Assistant Mathilde Palenius and Communications Assistant Daniel Rasela to the team.
Director Juha Huuskonen started his five-year term on 1 August 2024. Since 2014, Juha has served as the Director of HIAP – Helsinki International Artist Programme. Prior to this role, he worked as an independent artist, curator, and producer, engaging with various associations and networks within both the Finnish and international art scenes.
How can we best foster international exchange in contemporary art in times of great turmoil and uncertainty? How can we elevate the Finnish visual art scene further amidst massive funding cuts? While there may be no simple answers to these questions, I am thrilled to take on these challenges with Frame. I look forward to connecting with both local and international peers to explore these questions together.” – Juha Huuskonen
