Mike Bourscheid's sculpture and performance-based practice involves the fabrication of costumes and ungainly or ridiculous appendages, in order to channel alternate personae as a device for addressing aspects of masculinity, European pomposity, and patriarchal power. Bourscheid represented Luxembourg at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017, and his recent exhibitions include Richmond Art Gallery (Canada), LIAR NYC (USA), and Kunstverein Heidelberg (Germany). Mike Bourscheid has an upcoming solo exhibition at Centre national de l'audiovisuel (Dudelange, Luxembourg) as well as at 1646 (The Hague, Netherlands). He is based in Luxembourg and Vancouver.
This lecture reflects on how fashion, film and crafts influence Mike Bourscheid's art practice in order for him to create his costumes, props and wearable sculptures.
Bodies of Identities
Après Rethinking Nature (2021), l'équipe curatoriale du Mois européen de la photographie (EMOP) a choisi le thème de Rethinking Identity pour son édition 2023.
Déclinés sous différents sous-thèmes, ce sujet d'actualité marque une continuité au sein du réseau EMOP dans la recherche actuelle de la photographie contemporaine. Plus que jamais, le rôle de la photographie et de sa diffusion sur les réseaux sociaux dans la construction et la déconstruction des identités est aujourd'hui crucial. Dans ce cadre, le Casino Luxembourg proposera deux expositions en relation avec le thème général : Bodies of Identities et Tills de Raphaël Lecoquierre.
Bodies of Identities, présentée au premier étage du Casino, rassemblera une vingtaine d'artistes dont le travail interrogera la multiplicité et la complexité du/des corps et de/des identités.

Tony Cragg | MATERIAL IN MIND
29. April – 15. October 2023
Cragg's sculptures explore the interplay between materials, forms, negative and positive spaces whilst pushing to find new relationships between humans and the material world. The presentation spans the artists prolific 5-decade career; from early found object ‘assemblage' works inspired by the Arte Povera movement and ‘readymades', to the technically sophisticated sculptures created in recent years. The artist works in bronze, steel, aluminium, wood, plastic, glass and wax – pushing and challenging the possibilities of these materials. Lauded as one of the world's most accomplished sculptors, Cragg's practice is fueled by a lifelong fascination of geology, landscape and relations to natural history.
From the small scale to the monumental, Cragg's prolific practice is the outcome of a constantly questioning and experimental symbiotic process of thought and making, which always starts with drawing. With the support of his studio, Cragg makes his sculptures by hand, each evolution of thought taking form and inspiring the next.
Immortal
Vitality of the Young French Figurative Painting
Deployed for the first time in a transversal way on the two art centres, the MO.CO. and the MO.CO. Panacée, the Immortelle exhibition offers a new and ambitious panorama of young French figurative painting.
At the MO.CO., emblematic artists of the French scene, born from 1970 to the early 80s, will be presented. The generous and sensitive exhibition intends to pay homage to painting, in its physical, materialist, erotic and romantic aspects.
At the MO.CO. Panacée, the new generation of the mid-80s and 90s offers a plural vision of the future of figurative painting through a revisitation of the great traditional genres mixed with the contribution of contemporaneity and conceptual issues.
