Details:
On Saturday 3 July 2021, Art2Cure will open its doors for its seventh annual art exhibition in Luxembourg; the exhibition will run until 4 September 2021 at Galerie l’Indépendance, located at the headquarters of Banque Internationale à Luxembourg (BIL) in Luxembourg-Hollerich.
This year, the exhibition will showcase the works of sixteen Luxembourgish and Luxembourg-based artists. This diverse group includes painters, sculptors, mixed media artists and photographers.
While some of the artists have participated in this exhibition before, such as painter and street-artist Yves-Laurent Grosbusch aka STICK and sculptor Sergio Sardelli, most of this year’s invited artists are participating in Art2Cure for the first time. Among the newcomers are Poland-born Katarzyna Kot-Bach, a member of the art cooperative Sixthfloor who is known for her wood and bronze sculptures, Pit Molling who has stunned with his recent 3D-printed sculptures and digital drawings, and Samuel Levy, a mixed-media artist whose sculptures, drawings and paintings oscillate between the organic and natural worlds.
In addition to providing a platform for Luxembourg-based artists, the second aim of the Art2Cure association is to raise money for biomedical research and charities linked to the topics of mobility, in line with BIL’s current event-series entitled “IMMOBILITY”.
The opening is taking place at Galerie l'Indépendance this Saturday from 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 19:00. Parking is available on site. The exhibition will run until 4 September and is open to the public Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 18:00.
Art2Cure was founded in 2014 by Gilles Weidig and Philippe Lamesch, with the goal of supporting Luxembourg-based artists and researchers. After an initial show at Kulturfabrik in Esch-sur-Alzette in 2015, the event moved to Galerie l’Indépendance in 2016 and has taken place there on a yearly basis ever since. In 2018, the association also organised an edition of Art2Cure in New York City, with a mix of Luxembourgish and New York-based artists. The current team includes Philippe Lamesch, Leslie Barnig and Ralph Waltmans.
Due to the ongoing sanitary measures, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, visitors will most likely need to sign up before visiting the exhibition. More details will be posted on Art2Cure’s social media in the days to come.
