Interview with My Bundgaard on Robert Rauschenberg's Mud Muse, Malmö, 10 January 2024

My Bundgaard explains her profession as sculpture conservator for Moderna Museet in Sweden. She discusses the research findings on the history, art making process, and technicalities of Robert Rauschenberg’s kinetic sculpture 'Mud Muse' (1968-1971) from the collection of Moderna Museet, Sweden. The gradual change in technique of the sound activated sculpture is discussed in the light of institutional responsibilities, including possible future display options for the obsolete equipment, as it was originally operated by a four track open reel tape recorder. The interview was held in the context of a Research Ethics seminar as part of the first year of the MA of Fine Arts in Artistic Research (MFAAR) at the Malmö Art Academy / Lund University, focusing on oral history, organised by Sanneke Stigter.
