About curation

Marie-Therese Bruglacher is an independent curator working at the intersection of performing arts, music, and visual art. Her work investigates the production of space and temporality as conceived, perceived, and lived realities, exploring body and space as mediators between language, translation, and representation. Predominantly site-specific, she works with artistic strategies that understand performance as social architecture, rethink space as relational and engage audiences as active participants. Cityscapes and urban environments as sociopolical landscapes are a continuous focal point. She situates artistic practice within broader social and psychological contexts, questioning traditional models of reception while fostering new forms of dialogue between art and public life. Her curatorial approach integrates collaborative, sustainable structures that foster new alliances between cultural workers and institutions.
