In autumn and for Casino Luxembourg’s 30th anniversary, artists Christoph Meier and Ute Müller .are given carte blanche to interrogate the very concept of the Forum. A large-scale, walk-in installation will combine the functions of a stage, a laboratory, and a social sculpture; an amphitheater that challenges traditional spatial hierarchies and highlights collective action. Here, boundaries between the front- and backstage, the audience and the artists, and the center and the periphery are meant to blur.
Spanning the entire first floor of the Casino Luxembourg, the exhibition is not confined behind closed doors; instead, the creative process itself becomes an integral part of the project. Fully adaptable and conducive to both spontaneous encounters and co-creation, it offers an artist-designed setting for experimentation, exchange, and collective engagement. It functions as a temporary laboratory where collective thinking, building, and action become visible.
Throughout its duration, the project doesn’t follow a fixed script but evolves within shifting rhythms, developing a temporal narrative that keeps the space open, visible, and adaptable. Authorship may be shared among all participants.
The result is a social sculpture in progress, where collective thought, construction, and engagement intertwine with performative, social, and transformative moments. This process fosters new forms of dialogue and collective, shared experiences that shall extend beyond the space itself.
