Group exhibition, Luxembourg Art Week, Luxembourg, 2024
As a walking exhibition, Capsule will feature works by a diverse array of artists from France, Germany, Sweden, Ukraine, and South Korea. Each activated space will be visible to the public day and night, creating an engaging and accessible art experience. Visitors can explore a curated route showcasing around ten locations in the city center, inviting them to rediscover Luxembourg with a renewed appreciation for its urban landscape. Each presentation within the Capsule reflects themes of identity, memory, and the interplay between humanity and technology, raising questions about the capacity of art to engage audiences in meaningful discussions surrounding social issues and cultural narratives.
The bold text FULL MOUTHS / EMPTY WORDS, spanning the lightboxes, offers a critical reflection on societal dynamics. It challenges pedestrians to reflect on Leerstand — the German term for vacant or unused spaces — and how this concept relates to power imbalances within the city.
The work encourages viewers to think about how urban spaces are allocated, asking whether such spaces are being used in ways that truly benefit the community. The artwork invites the viewer to rethink what kind of spaces are truly necessary and what roles these spaces should play in shaping more equitable, inclusive urban environments.
