  Audiovisual performance: RAFTSIDE – "The Modern Hope", by Filip Markiewicz

  20h00 (Video – musique – pop | 60 min)

  With The Modern Hope, the title of RAFTSIDE's new album, visual artist and musician Filip Markiewicz merges his electronic compositions and visual universe in an immersive audiovisual performance. Presented as part of the Museum Night in Luxembourg, this lively and evolving creation deconstructs the album on stage, combining music, video and performance art.

  The work explores the links between pop culture, populism, science, artificial intelligence and art history to compose a sound and video tableau that is poetic, critical and interactive. Each performance is unique, incorporating live references to current events and the context of the venue. In this new version, RAFTSIDE invites the audience to participate, extending the experience in an Ultrasocial Pop format that blurs the boundaries between stage and spectators.

  Polish-Luxembourgish artist Filip Markiewicz represented Luxembourg at the 56th Venice Biennale (2015) and has exhibited in numerous museums and art centres in Europe. His RAFTSIDE project, described by Intro magazine as ‘a meeting between The Strokes and Kraftwerk’, has shared the stage with The Streets, Idles, Daft Punk, Cat Power and Metronomy. He has also performed at the Basel Theatre, the Staatstheater Cottbus and the Louvre Museum.

  Part concert, part installation, part pop manifesto, The Modern Hope is reinvented here as a total experience where electronic music, images and words construct a sensitive and political space that is both intimate and collective.

  Moonrise: an immersive installation

  Ongoing

  Join us for a moonlit encounter with Danish painter Laurits Tuxen’s Moonrise (1909) at this year’s Museum Night. Acquired earlier this year, this meditative painting will be showcased in an intimate, immersive setting designed to enhance its atmospheric qualities. Subtle lighting, ambient soundscapes and discreet projections transform the space into a fragment of a nocturnal seascape, where sea and sky dissolve into abstraction. Designed by the creative agency Explose, the installation invites visitors to experience the painting’s dreamlike atmosphere, enhancing the sensory impact of the artwork. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience the evocative power of Tuxen’s art in a setting that speaks to all the senses.

  Meet our mediators in the exhibition rooms of "Beyond The Frame. Rethinking Photography"

  18h00 - 23h00

  As part of the European Month of Photography, the exhibition Beyond the Frame. Rethinking Photography at the Nationalmusée um Fëschmaart focuses on contemporary concerns about the visual language of photography, its creative possibilities and its role in today's world. The featured artists (Jessica Backhaus, Marta Djourina, Joan Fontcuberta, Alice Pallot, Letizia Romanini, Jorma Puranen, Joost Vandebrug) explore different aspects of experimental photography, playing with abstraction, light, materiality and space while using both traditional and innovative techniques. In this group show, each artist moves beyond the frame to question photography as a medium, its ability to represent reality and its place in an increasingly digital and post-photographic world.

  From 6 pm until 11 pm our museum guides are available in the exhibition rooms to answer your questions.

  Meet the Artist: Live Drawing Project by Alexandra Uppman

  19h00 & 22h00 (EN & FR)

  As part of the exhibition Land in Motion. Transforming People and Nature, artist Alexandra Uppman is creating a special on-site piece at the museum. The final work will be a large-scale triptych oil-based charcoal drawing, depicting a landscape that highlights the beauty of nature and forestry with subtle references to the artist’s affinity for folklore and ancient practices. In light of the rapid decline in native insect populations and plant species, she seeks to share her perspective on the natural world through her own eerie lens. The project will unfold over two months, until 15 November.

  On 11 October, during Museum Night, Alexandra Uppman will be present in the museum to meet visitors. She will be available to talk about her work, her practice and the ongoing piece.
