In the exhibition and artist’s book entitled »Mein letzter Wille« (My last will), around 30 international contemporary artists respond to the question, »What remains?« Each of them engages with their legacy and, by means of a central statement or a paradigmatic work, tries to locate the essence of what constitutes their main artistic objective and interest. In doing so they question their presumed importance for a future which they themselves will not experience and whose values are still completely unknown to them. The question of »What remains?« has taken on a particular relevance against the backdrop of the pandemic and a war in Europe, along with the accompanying change in perspective and values. The realm of culture cannot refrain from questioning itself and confronting its marginalisation in the face of these current upheavals.
The analysis undertaken by the artists is structured as a free and open-ended experiment. In the framework of the exhibition, commissions will be given for five works. The project is curated by the artists’ group M+M and organised in collaboration with the Casino in Luxembourg.
