The prefix “post-” has been widely used throughout the twentieth century in terms such as post-impressionism, post-structuralism, post-modernism, post-colonialism, and others. The affix “post-” invites an analysis of what has been accomplished in the past to reflect on possible continuities or ruptures in what comes after. These reflections may take on a critical dimension—as in the case of post-colonialism—or, conversely, propose an evolution. Post-rock, for example, does not reject rock music; rather, it represents a transformation, a reinvention, and a re-reading of previously established codes.
.
In this light, the Post- project at Casino Luxembourg provides the opportunity to reflect afterwards on something that took place before at Casino Display, the research and residency space of Casino Luxembourg. This reflection unfolds around two main axes. On the one hand, the Post-Master, which addresses questions related to the presentation and transmission of artistic research; on the other, what we call Post-Residencies, which explore how works and emerging ideas produced within a residency context continue to live on and transform over time.
Post- seeks both to take stock of what has been and to project what might be. It is always in the making, never totally achieved. It symbolizes an ongoing, ever-evolving journey into the future.

Post-Master questions the ways in which an evolving research process can be presented. In other words: how can we introduce ideas into a space while the research is not yet complete? The proposal is to explore narration both as a method for transmitting ongoing artistic research and as a tool for investigating the process itself. The two exhibition moments reveal two stages of the research, between the emergence of ideas and their metamorphosis throughout the process, inviting viewers to follow their unfolding.
The European Post-Master is a collaborative program involving the Haute École des Arts du Rhin (HEAR – Strasbourg/Mulhouse, France), the École nationale supérieure des arts visuels de La Cambre (La Cambre –Brussels, Belgium), the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten (KABK – The Hague, Netherlands), and the École nationale supérieure d’art et de design de Nancy (ENSAD Nancy, France).

At Casino Luxembourg, former residents present works originally created in situ at Casino Display as part of their artist’s residence there. By recontextualizing these works within the exhibition spaces of Casino Luxembourg, the residents initiate a curatorial reflection on how works conceived within a specific creative environment—in this case, Casino Display, where the artists resided for several months—can be reimagined and presented within a new, different context. This approach offers an opportunity to explore the fluid boundaries between the two spaces and the curatorial implications that emerge from this transition.
Conceived as an exercise in space, this phase unfolds as a dialogue between artist and curator, who reflect together on the transformation of works as they migrate from one context to another. It considers how a work produced within the intimacy and creative intensity of an artist residency may resonate differently elsewhere and examines the new meanings or tensions that may surface through this translation. The emphasis is placed at the same time on the genesis of the work and on its potential for renewal.
To conclude the Post-Residencies, Nika Schmitt will once again shift the framework and blur temporalities by articulating a reflection in reverse, addressing the process of creation in anticipation of a forthcoming residency and creating a conversation between past works and those to come.
Throughout the project, curators and artists work together while focusing on the critical dimensions of the exercise. By collaboratively producing a new document intended to accompany the work, they extend the notion of site-specific creation.
périscope
1.4 – 18.5.2026
Artists: Shade Sadiku Cumini, Léa Giordano, Rari Matei, Mehdi Zion
périscope is an installation of moving images placed behind a small, ground-level window of the Casino Display building, visible from Rue de la Loge. The works created during the first-year residencies in 2025— intended to activate the device—are now presented at Casino Luxembourg. The project specifically aims to question how works conceived in a highly specific format can be transposed, and to continue the dialogue and exchange in a different space.
Artist Mehdi Zion will conceive a piece designed to be first shown at Casino Luxembourg before being recontextualized in Casino Display’s périscope installation, thereby inverting again the trajectory between creation and exhibition.
