FROM THE MAGAZINE
Kudzanai-Violet Hwami’s practice is a profound exploration of identity, memory, and the intricate interplay between the past and the present. Her paintings express a compelling ambiguity, continually probing the boundaries of images and visual cultures in their representation of identity. Hwami’s creative journey embodies a complex weave of personal encounters and influences, migration, and cultural amalgamation.
MUSE TALK
Kyle Staver tells Bill Powers about how she undertakes her artistic practice, infused with deep meanings borrowed from the fantastical world of mythology. Perseverance and humor intricately characterize her work.
TALK
Her smile came on set even before she did, and everyone instantly loved her. Camille is dragging energy, powerful and unfiltered, almost child-like. The roles she chooses to play are often characterized by duality. She portrays responsible women, who face crises and sorrows with determination, but with a touch of irony and a light soul.
CARSTEN HÖLLER
Carsten Höller allowed space for creativity by being portrayed in Stockholm, within the spaces of his provocative restaurant Brutalisten, and recounting his enormous approach to the art of experimentation and his fantastic practice evolved over the course of the experience.
BARBARA KRUGER
Barbara Kruger has developed an iconic visual language that often draws from advertising techniques and aesthetics, as well as other media. Since the 1970s, her artworks have continuously explored complex intersections of power, gender, class, consumerism, and capital. Her first solo institutional show in London is on view at the Serpentine; on this occasion, MUSE explores its intricate artistic mechanisms.
IN CONVERSATION WITH
On the occasion of MUSE 63, Diane Kruger interprets the SS24 collection by Saint Laurent. Her verve perfectly encapsulates the brand’s cinematic vision, seamlessly blending with the essence of Parisian elegance.
JUERGEN TELLER
Juergen Teller shared with us an intimate and personal view of his photography, how his love and relationship with his wife Dovile is the impetus from which the research for all his work begins.
INTERVIEW
What made me fall in love was the feeling that on stage anything was possible. […] Perhaps somewhere in the act of acting I feel immortal.
MENELAOS KARAMAGHIOLIS
Menelaos Karamaghiolis talks about his personal and working relationship with the artistic practice he has undertaken, that of filmmaking and more specifically the moving image. Through his words we are transported inside a seemingly distant and different world.
MUSE TALK
I took the opportunity to reconnect with myself. I made the conscious decision to pursue jobs that genuinely excited me and allowed me to cultivate true passion.
