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.

For its first edition, Schaufenster 1 presents a triple programme. This fulfils some of the vocations of the future Konschthal Esch:

  • Showing trends in contemporary art in its international dimension
  • Providing a platform of expression for the artistic scene in Luxembourg
  • Supporting the local artistic scene

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 of musician Samuel Reinard (Ryvage) with video maker Ted Kayumba and dancer and choreographer Jill Crovisier, was filmed on site, in the old Lavandier joinery workshops. Based on the XVIIth century Dutch phenomenon of tulipomania, the video presents an audio-visual and choreographical exploration of the notions of lockdown and claustrophobia as well as the feeling of crumbling certitudes.
