Exhibition Schaufenster 1 - Konschthal Esch

Alfredo Barsuglia, Martine Feipel & Jean Bechameil, Ryvage
03.10.2020 - 15.01.2021
As a preliminary to its opening in 2021 and during its transformation places period, the Konschthal Esch offers a series of exhibitions entitled Schaufenster (Showcase), giving a storefront to a series of contemporary art installations.
Schaufenster 1
Das Wunder by Alfredo Barsuglia is a work that is destined for the public space, designed and made in March 2020 during the lockdown period. This unusual object also presents a consideration of the concepts of mobility, immobility and occupation of the street as a cultural space.
Un Monde Parfait by Martine Feipel & Jean Bechameil continues a critical
consideration of the relationships between architecture and society, between ideal dwellings and social realities. The location of this installation also weaves a new relationship with the Lentille Rouge residential district.
Tulipe, a collaboration with musician Samuel Reinard (Ryvage), dancer and choreographer Jill Crovisier and video maker Ted Kayumba, was filmed on site, in the old Lavandier joinery workshops. Based on the 17th century Dutch phenomenon of “Tulipomania”, the video presents an audio-visual and choreographical exploration of the notions of lockdown and claustrophobia and the feeling that certitudes are crumbling.
