BROKEN MUSES BY MARGIT BRANDL MEET G BY MARIO

WHY BROKEN MUSES?

Margit Brandl likes artifacts, especially when they are about to break apart. For her, they are unwanted still lives. The human touch in the frozen inanimate fascinates her as much as the brittleness and irrational self in human beings. For Margit mannequins, statues, and other bizarre things are inspiring like the muses from the Greek mythology—archaic goddesses but with an important difference: They are made by people for people, sometimes not meant as artwork but rather as objects of utility. Forgotten and fractured, they show a certain form of timeless dignity—as broken muses.

BROKEN MUSES MEETS ITALY AND G BY MARIO

Margit loves Italy, especially for the unexpected encounter. Be it a slightly absurd street scene, a hand kiss for a priest, some vivid gestures and dialogues, there is always something to see and experience, a paradise for taking pictures! Italy would not be Italy without its great kitchen and when in Belgium where can you get closer to Italy than at G by Mario?
