CONTEMPORARY
ART FAIR
LUXEMBOURG
ART
WEEK prides itself on playing an essential role in a dynamic
local environment. Launched in 2015, it quickly established itself as
a major event for art lovers and collectors in Luxembourg and beyond.
This year’s event will gather more than 50 international galleries,
cultural institutions and artists’ collectives in two complementary
sections.
POSITIONS
–
The International Art Fair
POSITIONS
brings
together a selection of established contemporary art galleries from
around Europe which represent internationally renowned artists. This
section offers exhibitors a professional, dynamic and cost-effective
setting to present their artists to a wide audience of art lovers and
collectors. The arrangement of the booths has been completely
reviewed in 2018 to allow for greater flexibility while offering
maximum visibility. The redesign will furthermore allow the fair to
host more (32) this year.
TAKE
OFF
– The Prospective Art Fair
LUXEMBOURG
ART
WEEK and its official partner, the Ministry of Culture, renew
their support to the emerging contemporary scene through TAKE OFF.
Launched in 2016, this section is dedicated to emerging galleries
with a focus on young or lesser-known artists who present works at
affordable prices, as well as to institutions, organisations and
artists’ collectives who submit specifically conceived projects.
This year, 18 exhibitors were selected to take part in TAKE OFF.
CONFERENCES
Bringing
together
a string of specialists from various fields, the conferences
organised during LUXEMBOURG ART WEEK 2018 in partnership with the
public radio station 100,7 are a unique opportunity to catch up with
the latest developments in local and international art.
