Luxembourg Art Week 2024

Two complementary sections

Luxembourg Art Week is the leading international contemporary art fair in Luxembourg. From 22 to 24 November, the organisers invite you to place du Glacis, just a stone's throw from the city centre. In a temporary exhibition space covering over 5,000 m2, you can visit 77 galleries showcasing art from 18 countries across five continents , in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. For the first time, the fair will be presenting a late-night opening on Friday 22 November, allowing visitors to take full advantage of the festivities.  

• Main Section: 56 established regional and international galleries.
• Take Off: a selection of 21 new and emerging galleries and artists, institutions, associations and artists' collectives selling works of art at affordable prices and taking the opportunity to introduce their work to a wider audience.

Café Delphine has been reimagined by French artist Delphine Dénéréaz. Among other things, it draws upon pieces from a former exhibition: the architectural structure of an imaginary city overgrown with vegetation are redistributed and intertwined with a small, deconstructed flower chapel. It thus provides a vibrant village square for visitors, a place where they can gather in the middle of the fair.

There is an entry fee for adults. Students and young people aged 12 to 18 benefit from a reduced rate. Children up to the age of 12 with a children's ticket enter free of charge when accompanied by an adult with an admission ticket. You can purchase your tickets online.

The catalogue for Luxembourg Art Week is also available online.

An extensive cultural programme

From 22 October to 24 November, Luxembourg Art Week has set up the ART WALK: this off-site programme features a sculpture trail, the Capsule project and several special projects created in collaboration with the show's partners. A dozen sculptures are showcased along a route linking the city centre to the station area and visitors can admire the iconic work of art "L'homme qui mesure les nuages" (2019) by Jan Fabre from 4 to 24 November at the Robert Schuman roundabout.

The Capsule project is a walking exhibition, specially designed for this anniversary edition. Eight emerging artists have transformed vacant retail spaces, shop windows or facades into artistic venues, accessible to the public's eyes day and night from the outside.

The ART WALK has been developed with the City of Luxembourg and you can download the brochure on the LAW website.

From 2 to 17 November, the Salon du CAL (CAL is the  Artistic Circle of Luxembourg) is open to visitors at the Tramsschapp . This salon offers an overview of local artistic production and showcases the quality and diversity of the country's artistic creation. The 48 artists, selected by an international jury, exhibit each three personal works of art. Entrance to the salon is free.

The Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain organises the grand opening (22 November) in cooperation with the artists Esben Weile Kjær, Ásta Fanney Sigurðardóttir and Mun Sing: an evening of experiments and performances focused on the perception of reality and the world, myths and pop culture.

In the main hall of the venue hosting Luxembourg Art Week, the Curator Machine offers affordable art which people can purchase from a vending machine. Developed by the Belgian artist Bjornus Van der Borght and Jerry Galle, the machine sells art works at affordable prices, anonymously and blindly. 70% of sales go to the artists, with the remaining 30% funding future projects. A not-for-profit initiative, Curator Machine questions the dynamics of contemporary art and encourages the audience to actively participate in the event.

The Art Talks delve into the narrative and current events driving contemporary creativity. In cooperation with renowned cultural partners, a wide range of topics are discussed with international speakers.

MAI photography and contemporary art presents the installation "Lab by MAI Limited Edition" in the conference area. It offers a new design of the artist book or artwork as a multiple: this box set includes various artistic media and encourages the collector to create their own exhibition setups using the works contained within the box or to simply interact with the items inside. Two box sets by the artists Marco Godinho and Frédéric Flamand and Pino Pipitone are already available, while the third by Celeste Leeuwenburg is still in production.

This is just a small selection of the many activities on offer during Luxembourg Art Week. The full programme is available on the Luxembourg Art Week website.

Enjoy!
