LE MUR Luxembourg | Ville de Luxembourg

Introduction

Inspired by the "MUR Oberkampf" in Paris, where more than 300 artists have left their mark over the years, and following on from the graffiti project at the ventilation tower at Place Guillaume II, "LE MUR LUXEMBOURG" features temporary works of graffiti and street art in a range of styles on its 30 m² urban canvas.

Rue du Fort Neipperg

The LE MUR Luxembourg urban art project was launched in March 2022, in collaboration with the non-profit organisation I love Graffiti and, since then, more than 13 spray can masters have left their mark on the gable wall at 23, rue du Fort Neipperg.

New location in Rue du St-Esprit

Due to the extension of the Rocade building, LE MUR was moved to a new location in Ville Haute, where it now occupies the façade of the Lëtzebuerg City Museum at 14, rue du St-Esprit. The new location of the "Modulable - Urbain – Réactif" (MUR) concept is expected to unlock new potential for the LE MUR Luxembourg urban art project, while providing it with a home in the heart of the city centre.

Artist currently featured: WON ABC

LE MUR Luxembourg is celebrating its 19^th iteration with an original piece by German graffiti artist WON ABC, a well-known figure on the international graffiti scene.

The artist's highly colourful pieces reflect religious and mythological influences from around the world: the scenes he portrays explore themes such as the triumph of nature over technology and the ascendancy of imagination over the functional. After incurring a heavy fine, the artist decided to join the "legal" street art scene and began producing works on request. Over the course of his career, WON ABC has created murals in Guatemala, Mexico, the United States, Cuba, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, and North Africa, and in virtually every country in Europe. In addition to publishing extensively in graffiti and hip-hop magazines, and countless collective and solo exhibitions, WON ABC has produced graffiti pieces for several film and television productions, including the TV crime drama series "Tatort".
