Stronger than memory and weaker than dewdrops
Multimedia exhibition created by Karolina Markiewicz and Pascal Piron, which is based on and merges with contemporary poetry to express the actuality of the world, but also its history and its myths.
Myths and abstraction represent here a parallel world through which we can explain to ourselves even the most impactful stories and facts. A world through which we feel and which perhaps allows us to be part of a human community.
Until 28 November,

Robert Brandy face à lui-même, 50 years of career
A journey through half a century of creation by a Luxembourg artist as popular as he is renowned.
At the beginning of his career, Brandy quickly made a name for himself in the art world thanks to a determination that was rare in Luxembourg in the 1970s: to make his passion his profession and to make a living from his art in his country. By adopting this posture of the free and independent artist, Brandy created a myth around himself and, without knowing it, opened the way for other artists.
On view until 28 November,
