Oblio
Performance Installation · German premiere
by
Muna Mussie
In the frame of Opening Weekend
For the past three years, «Oblio» has been offering space in various locations to reflect on the concept of voids and omissions in historical and private memory. As a guest at Grüntaler 9, our new, temporary location in the Wedding neighborhood, Muna Mussie begins an individual stage of her embroidery project. The ritual performance installation meets the sound project “Curva Cieca Oblio ኩርቫ ዕውር ምርሳዕ”, which emerged from the collaboration with sound designer Massimo Carozzi for the Xong record series by Xing. Sound and action thus intertwine in a single act of weaving that seals the long process of Oblio.
«Oblio» sees itself as a temporary anti-monument that is dedicated to the reappropriation of public space. It was first shown at the 2021 Democracy Biennale in Turin as part of Memory Matters and is based on the observation that there is a strong need for shared, intimate spaces of lamentation in contemporary societies.

The release is a white vinyl in a limited and numbered edition of 150 copies.

Muna Mussie
Muna Mussie (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Bologna. Her work moves between gesture, vision and word, crossed by the practice of embroidery. Muna Mussie has set herself the task of investigating the languages of the arts. Behind this is the desire to give shape to the tension that arises between opposing poles – the private and the public, memory and forgetting, the visible and the invisible. Her most recent performances and installations include «The Perfect Human from Sunrise to Sunshine» (2023), «Oblio/Pianto del Muro» (2022), «PERSONA» (2022), «FÒRO FÓRO» (2022) «Bientôt l'été» (2021), «PF DJ» (2021), «Oblio» (2021), «Curva Cieca» (2021), «Curva» (2019), «Oasi» (2018), «Milite Ignoto» (2015) and the exhibitons «ዳናቦሎኛ| بولونیاشارع| Bologna St. 173» (2021-2023), «Punteggiatura» (2018). Muna Mussie´s work are presented in Italy and internationally at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Turin, MAMbo Bologna and SAVVY Contemporary Berlin among others.
