 /a></p><p><br></p><p>Roundtables is a programme created by Mudam Luxembour
 g and Casino – Forum d'art contemporain\, designed to be a friendly spac
 e for discussing contemporary art. Our shared objective is to demystify co
 ntemporary art\, encourage dialogue and foster an environment conducive to
  genuine interaction.</p><p>The idea is simple: let's gather around a tabl
 e with the Luxembourg art scene at its centre\, to discuss\, listen and re
 flect on contemporary art. Everyone is welcome\, whether you are an artist
 \, a cultural figure\, or simply interested in the relationship between co
 ntemporary art and the world around us. Through short presentations follow
 ed by open conversation\, Roundtables invites you to ask questions\, debat
 e and discover new perspectives.</p><p>How do artists respond to social ch
 ange? What goes on behind the scenes at an exhibition? Each session focuse
 s on a specific theme\, presented by guest speakers and members of the tea
 ms from both institutions.</p><p>This series creates an atmosphere in whic
 h these issues can be discussed openly and freely\, allowing conversations
  to flow naturally. It strengthens existing networks within the Luxembourg
  art community and encourages the creation of new ones. It provides a spac
 e for learning\, curiosity and the exchange of ideas\, bringing together a
 ll citizens eager for a shared exploration of the world of contemporary ar
 t.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Step Across the Border – An art scene spanni
 ng the Grande Région&nbsp\;</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Over the past twent
 y-five years\, institutions\, artists and public authorities have launched
  numerous initiatives to forge connections between cultural figures in the
  Grande Région. In an era of unprecedented cross-border economic and labo
 ur flows\, where does this dynamic stand in the field of contemporary art?
  Is the Grande Région a cultural entity too?&nbsp\;</p><p><br></p><p><str
 ong>Biographies</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Julien Hübsch </strong
 >(1995) lives and works between Luxembourg and Germany.&nbsp\;His work inv
 estigates the constant negotiations between architecture\, vandalism and c
 ollective authorship. Next to using tools like scanners and printers to cr
 eate images out of his surroundings\, Hübsch constantly re-samples his ow
 n works\, thus shifting his own timelines and keeping existing works in a 
 constant state of process. Not shying away from large scale interventions 
 in the exhibition space\, his practice oscillates between sculpture\, pain
 ting\, digital image-making and archive.&nbsp\;In 2023 he was the recipien
 t of the Grand-Duc Adolphe Prize\, awarded by the Cercle Artistique du Lux
 embourg\, in 2026 he was awarded with the Andrea Neumann Kunstpreis in Saa
 rbücken. He was a resident at Cité internationale des arts in Paris in 2
 023 &amp\; 2026\, as well as the Fonderie Darling in Montréal QC CA in 20
 24.&nbsp\;The works of Julien Hübsch have been shown in galleries and ins
 titutions in Berlin\, Frankfurt\, Freiburg\, New York\, Luxembourg\, Kasse
 l and Mainz among others\, and figure in public collections such as the on
 es of the Museum for History and Art in Luxembourg\, the national library\
 , the Luxembourg City Museums &amp\; the ministry of culture.</p><p><br></

 /strong><p>Born in 1989 in Nancy\, France\,&nbsp\;<strong>Marianne Villiè
 re</strong>&nbsp\;currently lives and works in Strasbourg. After completin
 g a Master's degree at ENSAD in Nancy (2012)\, she graduated from the CCC 
 – Critical Theory Master's programme at HEAD in Geneva (2014)\, the same
  year she received the Gianni Motti Prize. Ten years later\, she was award
 ed the Luxembourgish Edward Steichen Award\, enabling her to develop new w
 orks in New York over a six-month period.&nbsp\;Her artistic practice in s
 hared and public spaces seeks out tipping points in order to reverse power
  dynamics and make marginalised positions and biodiversity visible and per
 ceptible. This approach leads her to create contextual and ephemeral compo
 sitions of situations. Subtle yet complicit\, her interventions offer a do
 uble-edged reading. At first glance\, her gestures may seem humorous\, lig
 ht-hearted or even superficial\, only to subsequently confront us with dee
 per questions.&nbsp\;In Luxembourg\, while still a student\, she exhibited
  at the Triennale Jeune Création at the Rotondes\, and later\, in 2017\, 
 alongside Catherine Elsen during Museum Night\, at the invitation of Casin
 o Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain. Her first solo exhibition too
 k place in Dudelange (Espace d’art Dominique Lang) in 2020. Successive r
 esidencies at Neumünster and subsequently at the Kulturfabrik enabled her
  to collaborate on several occasions with the writer Jérôme Quiqueret.&n
 bsp\;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Claudia Passeri&nbsp\;</strong>(1977) lives
  and works between Luxembourg and Italy. She studied graphic design\, scen
 ography and photography in Bologna\, Brussels and Rome. Since 2002\, her w
 ork has been regularly exhibited in Belgium\, France\, Italy\, Luxembourg 
 and the United States.&nbsp\;In 2006\, she co-founded the curatorial proje
 ct Agence Borderline with Michèle Walerich. She frequently initiates coll
 aborations with artists and creatives from diverse backgrounds and discipl
 ines. In 2011\, she received the Edward Steichen Award Luxembourg\, which 
 led to a four-month residency at ISCP in New York in 2012. A selection of 
 her works was exhibited in 2014 at Mudam Luxembourg and BOZAR in Brussels.
 &nbsp\;In 2015\, she conceived&nbsp\;<em>Mangia Mina</em>\, a solo exhibit
 ion at the Centre d’Art Nei Liicht in Dudelange (Luxembourg)\, which was
  subsequently presented at the SRISA Gallery in Florence (Italy) in 2017. 
 Since 2016\, her monumental permanent installation&nbsp\;<em>Zeitgeist –
  Karl Cobain</em><em class=\"echo\" style=\"background-image:url('/assets/

 sp\;has been on display at Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporai
 n.&nbsp\;In 2016\, she was awarded a research residency at the Fonderie Da
 rling in Montreal (Canada)\, supported by Luxembourg's National Cultural F
 und (FOCUNA). In 2018\, together with Benoit Delzelle\, she founded the co
 llective Common Wealth\, which received the Bert Theis Grant and undertook
  an artist residency in Italy in July 2019. That same year\, under the cur
 atorship of Danielle Igniti\, she presented a project at the Chapelle de l
 a Charité as part of the Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles.&nbsp\;I
 n 2021\, she was invited to participate in the group exhibition&nbsp\;<em>
 Freigeister – Fragments d’une scène artistique au Luxembourg et au-de
 là</em>&nbsp\;at Mudam (Luxembourg). In 2022\, she created two monumental
  installations:&nbsp\;<em>P.G.R. – Per Grazia Ricevuta</em><img src=\"/a
