A Destiny to Be Invaded...

Exhibition from 5th to 22nd mai 2005
Open on tuesdays to sundays from 3 to 8 pm

«Ancienne Chapelle du Rham»
Plateau du Rham - Luxembourg city

An exhibition bringing together Luxembourg-based artists Sneja_D, MeltingPol and Ren Schroeder with UK-based artists Justine Blau and Pippa Koszerek exploring the theme of «ASSIEGéR» .

«ASSIEGéR» draws up Luxembourg’s complex history as a site of constant invasion, a city of underground tunnels, its one time strategic position as the ‘Gibraltar of the North’ and today as important siege of diverse European Institutions. On another level the theme considers how mass culture, advertising and television constantly create a worldwide siege of ideas and influences.

The artists are exploring the theme of «ASSIEGéR» by highlighting historical, political or socio-cultural issues. By playfully intermixing or “invading” each other’s work, the artists also explore each other’s boundaries, creating a visual (an aural) disruption and a dialogue around their diverse approaches.

Through sand constructions, video installations, paintings and punctual interventions the artists will invade the inner and outer space of the gallery and transform it into a creative playground where also other artists are punctually invited to respond to the theme of «ASSIEGéR» through dance, poetry and music. In this context, three events are currently scheduled :

Programme:

Thursday, May 5 from 5 to 10 pm :
Opening-act with CyberPiper andIsadora Sanchez (music & dance)

Saturday, May 14 from 7 to 10 pm :
Over the Hill– Studio Session with Sonic Attack (music)

Sunday, May 22 from 12 am to end :
Closing Brunch avec Francis Kirps et Angélique A. (poetry & dance)

I would like to draw your attention to the video installation "Power corn" of Sneja_D, in which the theme of ASSIEGéR is associated with the invasion of our super-market shelves and our daily dishes by genetically manipulated food. In her installation, Sneja_D wishes to cast a critical glance at this topical phenomenon while at the same time treating it with humour.
