Description

A free spirit, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, is someone who "thinks otherwise than is expected of him in consideration of his origin, surroundings, position, and office, or by reason of the prevailing contemporary views" (Human, All Too Human,1878). As the German philosopher saw it, one must seek to become "untimely" and remain a "stranger" to one's time in order to question its premises. This view to states of alienation unites the positions of fourteen young Luxembourgish artists in Freigeister, the publication accompanying the celebrations on occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean. In recent years, Luxembourg's art scene has grappled in a wide variety of ways with the challenges that come with the small yet economically successful country's ongoing transformation. Charting realities between the familiar and the unknown, the artists featured in Freigeister employ photography, painting, and installation as well as film, sculpture, printmaking, and performance art to paint a carefully considered but by no means dispassionate portrait of today's society in an effort to build bridges between identity and the future.
