The Freigeister exhibition is the result of a collaborative process which, in the preparatory phase, involved a series of discussion days between artists, curators and outside experts. Their remit was to reflect on the most significant issues affecting Luxembourg today, such as borders, migration, languages, living together and the development of our country.

Mudam would like to continue this discussion platform by involving the public. From 8 January to 26 February 2022, each Saturday morning you are invited to join experts from a variety of fields – artists, researchers, writers, architects, sociologists and representatives of institutions and associations – to discuss some of the key themes reflecting the complex reality of Luxembourg today, how the country is changing and its future prospects.

Each Discussion Platform – Freigeister begins with a presentation of their work by the artist in person, followed by a presentation on the chosen topic by a guest expert. These presentations are followed by a moment of convivial discussion around a breakfast with the public and the speakers of the "Freigeister Alphabet" project.

Strollology
19.02.2022 | 10h00–12h00 | EN
With Hans Fellner (art historian and gallery owner)
On invitation and in the presence of the artist Laurianne Bixhain
Our approach will be strollological, a walk through the station district. We will look at the built environment, creatively using information, memory and, most of all, sensory perception. A description of the contexts will eventually be dissected and assembled into new narratives. In other words, we'll go beyond pure architectural criticism, and allow all options of perception. Of course, stimulating the exchange between participants will be our prerogative.
Also present: Michel-Edouard Ruben (economist at the Idea Foundation)
