For a year, the Arts Promotion Centre Centre piloted the artist-expert's job description, which included 50% art promotion tasks and 50% of his own artistic work. The author Raimo Pesonen was chosen for the position, for whom interesting agency work was enriching, but also a resource-binding experience.
For Taike, the pilot brought not only information about hiring an artist to a non-traditional art organisation, but also more expertise in matters related to the artist's work.
