Luxembourg (Grand Duchy of)

The project of the Luxembourg Pavilion challenges the notion of individual artistic authorship by presenting a collection of works where artists relinquish ego in favour of a profound investigation of common creativity through the medium of sound.
The title, A Comparative Dialogue Act, encapsulates the nature of this experiment: an exploration of diverse sonic languages and a contemplation of dialogue beyond the visual, into the immersive world of sound as a tool for negotiation.
Four residencies taking place over the duration of the Biennale transform the pavilion into a production space where each individual research will contribute to a shared body of work.
The pavilion is conceived as an infrastructure for the transmission of sound. Technology is used to develop a local experiment investigating the transmission of knowledge and work in progress. The notion of openness is here not bound to the absence of limits, but rather to appropriation of “the other” and its contribution to collective and open-ended scenarios.
Through the transformative potential of sound as a medium for cultivating connection and understanding, this exhibition aims to transcend the limits set by singular perspectives of what sound can lend to the acts of interpreting, distorting and appropriating.
