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 no fewer than 13 spray can masters have left their mark on the gable wall of 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.

CMPONE

For the 27^th iteration of LE MUR Luxembourg, I Love Graffiti ASBL and the City welcomed Danish artist CmpOne to transform the façade of the Lëtzebuerg City Museum with an original artwork.

For CmpOne, it all began in 1984. Still a teenager, he discovered the raw, original spirit of graffiti and hip-hop culture – an encounter that would mark a decisive turning point in his life. When he first travelled to New York in 1992, he explored the city's iconic subway system, streets and parks, while leaving his signature on walls across the Bronx, Harlem and Manhattan. For more than three decades, he has devoted much of his work to paying tribute to what he sees as the golden age of a culture that has profoundly shaped his artistic journey. His work evokes a time before the internet, when access to information was limited but imagination seemed limitless.

Over the years, CmpOne has exhibited in cities across Europe and taken part in major events dedicated to urban art. As the founder of Fantazie, Denmark's first graffiti magazine, he has also played an active role in promoting graffiti and hip-hop culture through talks, exhibitions and cultural projects.
