Ruth Noack: “We have yet to understand the full depth and relevance of Maria Bartuszova’s contribution to the world, but the research into her work and its international exposition are gaining momentum; consequently, this companion book to Zuzana Krizalkovicova’s documentary film Stillness in Motion. Conversations on Maria Bartuszova can itself be regarded as a companion to other takes on the artist’s oeuvre.” With Cecilia Alemani, Ka Te Blazova, Maria Chapman, Agata Jakubowska, Pavel Karous, Miroslav Kleban, Grazyna Kulczyk, Joanna Mytkowska, Ruth Noack, Bojana Pejic, Ivona Raimanova, Kasia Redzisz, Zora Rusinova, Lucia G. Stach, Boris Vaitovic, Silvia Van Espen and others.
