VENUE: Casino Display, 1, rue de la Loge, Luxembourg

Guest speakers: Ellen de Haan (Het Resort) and Camille Richard (Est-Nord-Est)  

In dialogue with: Giulia Bellinetti (Jan van Eyck Academie) and Marie de Gaulejac (3bisF)  

Since its inception, Casino Display has been hosting artist residencies. At the core of Casino Display’s mission lies a sustained focus on artistic creation and research processes, as well as on the forms of experimentation that take place within these residencies. Residencies offer artists the time and space to engage with a new environments and to continue developing their research, driving their practices in new directions.  

Taking place in two parts over two days, this roundtable will focus on artistic process, including presentations by artistic directors and coordinators of various residency programs.  

As roundtables are usually limited to a single day and often remain open-ended, the decision was made to extend this format across two days. On the first day, two speakers will present their institutions, while the other two will respond to these presentations. On the second day, the roles will be reversed.
