Performances at the Museum with Helena Kritis


Listen Later

For this final episode of this first season, I had the pleasure to meet an expert in performances in museum, curator for the Contemporary Art Center Wiels, Helena Kritis.

Helena Kritis received me in her flat, in Brussels, at the end of August. We recorded this episode, sitting at her kitchen table, sharing what would become the best melon of this summer. Like in a performance, Helena is in the moment and has a life full of coincidences and surprises.

In this episode, we talk about the whole process of curating performances in a museum: the selection, the production and the content, but also the influence of her experience at the very famous Brussels based arts centre, Beursschouwburg, the difference between a performance at the museum or at the theatre, and how she learned to consider an audience.

If you are in Brussels, I can only but highly recommend you to dig into the Contemporary Art Center Wiels’s exhibition and performance program and to follow on instagram one of their curator, Helena Kritis @helenakritis
