Mariuccia Secol’s artistic practice was born from refusal: refusal of silence, of prescribed roles, and of the separation between art and life. Her work unfolds at the intersection of artistic experimentation, feminism, and care, forming an oeuvre that consistently resists categorization while remaining deeply grounded in lived experience. The conversation with Eva Brioschi and Monika Branicka - curators of Mariuccia Secol: Unraveling exhibition at Muzeum Susch - is focused on artist for whom creation is inseparable from ethical responsibility and social engagement.

David Crowley, the curator of Edita Schubert's exhibition at Muzeum Susch, in conversation with Leonida Kovać and Bojana Pejić, reflecting on Schubert’s life and career in the context of Yugoslavia and its breakup in the 1990s. Kovać and Pejić, as art critics, played a vital role in mediating art in the former Yugoslavia—particularly that of women artists.

How does dance and movement add to the existing practice of arts educators and choreographers and lead to more in-depth engagement with museum visitors? This is the question explored by dance artist Ingrid Berger Myhre and Gill Hart, Head of the Devonshire Educational Trust based at Chatsworth in Derbyshire and former Head of Education at the National Gallery London. This conversation, led by dramaturg Monica Gillette, is based on the European Union funded project Dancing Museums, a research project bringing together artists, dance organizations, museums, universities and research centers from seven countries. The project is conceived to explore ways in which working together might result in more powerful interpretations or experiences of art. Dancing in a museum brings visitors closer to performers – its proximity to the perceived stillness of art works interrupts and in effect – changes - codified codes of gallery behavior.

  In the 6th episode of the series, two choreographers for whom the voice is a crucial medium - Katarzyna Sitarz and Jule Flierl - contemplate silence, its physicality and its political agency. Dialoguing on and deeply listening to the current troubled times, they are examining silence as a physical practice, meticulously weaving polyphonic sensorial  compositions of voices and thoughts of generations of artists, thinkers and activists. Questioning silence’s presence and absence, its non-obvious qualities as well as the political dimension of speaking up or abstaining from speech in the reality we live in, they unfold a multilayered spectrum of what silence can be or serve for. <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Helvetica; panose-1:0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1342208091 0 0 415 0;} @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536859905 -1073732485 9 0 511 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;}
