MUNA MUSSIE

Bio

Muna Mussie began her artistic career as performer in 1998 in Italy, with Teatrino Clandestino and Teatro Valdoca directed by Cesare Ronconi, with which she still collaborates. Since 2001 she has been an active member of the research group Open, a project through which she approached new ways of being on scene, with the performance opentolikemunamussie (2004), and recently with the happening Waudeville (2010). After 2005 she moved on to authorial works, taking care of their ideation, production and interpretation, creating the performances Madrepatria (2006), Più che piccola, media (2007), Con Permesso (2008), Ti ho sognato, ma non eri il protagonista (2009), supported by Xing Bologna. She collaborated, among others, with visual artist and film-maker Luca Mattei and visual artist Flavio Favelli, with whom she co-authored the project FFMM, a collection of clothes. Her work has been presented in performance spaces, like Raum Bologna, and art institutions, like Gallerie d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Ferrara and MAMbo Bologna. She has been awarded with premio Riccione TTV, premio Pier Vittorio Tondelli/Nuovi Talenti 208, premio Iceberg 2009. Muna Mussie is currently working in Bruxelles at a new project: Monkey see, Monkey do with swiss artists and curators Giorgia and Muriel Del Don.

"Intimacy and exposition. Precarious identity and the subtle ambiguity of everyday life are the base of my artistic research. The space of the action, vision and experience collide in short-circuits of acts and declarations that do not always coincide. Diaphragm eyes training to contemplate, to contain something more, or something less, that emit visions through psychophysical tensions between bodies; staged body, hostage body, body to dedicate our life to, a means to commemorate a past which is constantly evoked and a present which is about to be. The intent is that of keeping in mind something I cannot remember, creating tiny rules every time, to get closer to you."
