A SWISS INITIATIVE FOR POETIC LIFE

Inclusivity at Musarthis Art Gallery

Inclusivity at Musarthis Art Gallery is not approached as a statement, but as a considered and deliberate practice. In this article, the M.A.G Journal reflects on an inclusive vision of contemporary art that moves freely across borders, cultures, and artistic positions.

At Musarthis Art Gallery, inclusivity is understood as a condition of openness rather than a declared principle. It takes shape through a careful and discerning approach to artistic practices, welcoming voices and perspectives that emerge from Switzerland as well as from the international art scene, without geographical hierarchy or cultural prioritisation.

The gallery positions itself as a space of circulation, where works and ideas move beyond borders, languages, and fixed contexts. Artistic practices are approached through their depth, coherence, and singularity, rather than through their origin or visibility. This openness allows for encounters that are neither systematic nor indiscriminate, but grounded in relevance and mutual recognition.

Inclusivity is also expressed in the respect of artistic positions. Some artists choose visibility, others cultivate distance, discretion, or anonymity. These choices are fully acknowledged as integral components of artistic practice. Musarthis Art Gallery provides a framework in which such positions can exist without pressure, exposure, or narrative imposition.

This vision extends naturally into the editorial work of the gallery. Through its online magazine and the M.A.G Journal, Musarthis Art Gallery engages with contemporary art, art history, and cultural current affairs from a broad and international perspective. The journal offers a space for reflection where practices, contexts, and continuities are explored with clarity and restraint.

At Musarthis Art Gallery, inclusivity does not seek to encompass everything, but to allow meaningful coexistence. It is an approach that values precision over accumulation, openness over categorisation, and dialogue over declaration—making each artistic presence part of a shared and considered landscape.
