Fashion, photography and institutional critique converge in ‘Video Killed the Radio Star: The 1980s and Their Cultural Echoes’.

Vivienne Westwood’s 1981 ‘Pirate’ ensemble draws together the irreverence of punk, historical dress and the culture of home-recorded music, embodying the decade’s practices of hacking, sampling and reappropriation. Cindy Sherman turns those strategies towards fashion photography in ‘Untitled #120’, disrupting its familiar codes through off-kilter framing, shadowed light and an intentionally uneasy portrayal of femininity.

Daniel Buren’s ‘Croisements’ shifts the focus to the museum itself. Through his repeated stripes and their placement within display cases, Buren draws attention to the systems of order and presentation that shape how objects and cultures are encountered in institutional spaces.

Together, the three works reveal how familiar visual codes – from clothing and fashion imagery to museum display – can be appropriated and unsettled to question authority, representation and the structures that organise how we see.

PERFORMANCE

As part of the Dodeka programme, artist and researcher Grace Gloria Denis presents a new iteration of Aural Oral in collaboration with Frank Adams of SEED asbl at the Slate Museum in Haut-Martelange.

Taking the cabbage variety Beurré de Jalhay as a catalyst for conversations around domestication and the tension between diversity and technology, the event centres on a variety documented since 1934 in the Hautes Fagnes region. Absent from the official EU seed catalogue, Beurré de Jalhay has survived through citizen-run seed-saving networks.

The event offers an immersive encounter with the Beurré de Jalhay and fragments of the Slate Museum’s history through listening and tasting.

12 September 2026
16:00 | At Musée de l’Ardoise

PICNIC SEASON

Earlier in the week, Picnic Season returns to Mudam for three afternoons of collective exchange and creation.

Bringing together a guest artist and local charity associations, the programme connects different communities through a shared creative project. For this edition, artist and researcher Grace Gloria Denis extends her project developed for ‘Dodeka, 12 Works for 12 Cantons’, exploring questions of biodiversity, preservation and seed governance through listening, exchange and collective making.

The three workshops culminate in a shared cookbook shaped by participants’ contributions.

08–10 September 2026
15:00–17:00

Welcome to Mudamini 360°!

Designed for children aged 9 to 12, this year-long programme invites young creatives to observe, explore and experiment through nine workshops at Mudam. Each session takes inspiration from artworks, exhibitions and the museum itself, introducing different materials, techniques and ways of making along the way.

Meeting regularly with the same group, participants can develop their ideas from one workshop to the next before bringing their creations together in an exhibition at Mudam Studio at the end of the year.

The adventure begins this October.
Registration includes all nine sessions – sign up now!

What would you save for the future?

Take part in the drop-in workshop for ‘SUPERFLEX: The Bank’, an evolving participatory project shaped by the ideas of its visitors.

Banks can hold more than money – from seeds and food to blood and knowledge. What would your bank preserve, and what might it look like? Through drawing, imagining and making, participants are invited to develop their own ideas and contribute to a collective installation that will inform a future artwork by SUPERFLEX in Mudam’s surroundings.

As Mudam celebrates 20 years, we look back on exhibitions that invited visitors into singular artistic worlds and new ways of seeing contemporary life.

An airport built from cardboard, aluminium foil and tape.

Created by Thomas Hirschhorn for the 1999 Venice Biennale, ‘Flugplatz Welt/World Airport’ transforms inexpensive, everyday materials into a vast three-dimensional collage resembling an airport. Objects accumulate across the installation, creating a deliberately precarious environment at a monumental scale.

For Hirschhorn, the choice of familiar, readily available and ephemeral materials is fundamental. In place of the permanence traditionally associated with sculpture, ‘Flugplatz Welt/World Airport’ embraces fragility, excess and instability.

The work is part of the Mudam Collection.

A different history of postwar art comes into view.

Opening this September, ‘Kaihō: Japanese Women Artists after 1945’ is the first European survey to examine the essential role of women artists from Japan in the global postwar era.

Spanning the 1950s to the 1990s, the exhibition brings together artists including Atsuko Tanaka, Yayoi Kusama, Yoko Ono, Fujiko Nakaya, Tomie Ohtake, Taeko Tomiyama and Yoshiko Shimada. From Gutai to experiments in video art, their work traces radical forms of artistic expression shaped by personal experience, creative resilience, cultural exchange and transnational activism across Japan, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America.

Bringing rarely seen works and overlooked histories into dialogue, ‘Kaihō’ reconsiders the margins of modernism and the place of Japanese women artists within global postwar art.

Opening on 24 September 2026, from 19:00 to 22:00, at Mudam.
Exhibition: 25.09.2026 – 14.02.2027

Look closely at Mudam and you’ll find two architectural languages in dialogue.

Designed by I. M. Pei, the museum was conceived in dialogue with the natural and historical context of its site, linking the former Fort Thüngen and historic city with the contemporary European district of Kirchberg. The remains of the fort meet Pei’s simple geometric volumes, while views between the interior, Dräi Eechelen Park and the surrounding landscape continually shift the relationship between old and new.

Clad in honey-coloured Magny Doré limestone and sheltered beneath an expansive glass canopy, the building changes with the light throughout the day and across the seasons – revealing new contrasts in material, form and perspective with every visit.

What if listening had nothing to do with hearing?

This September, Christine Sun Kim presents a new site-specific installation at Mudam.

Working across drawing, performance, video and installation, Kim gives visual form to sound and language through musical notation, infographics and American Sign Language. Drawing on her lived experience as a Deaf person, she examines the systems and often-unnoticed norms that shape how we communicate and experience public and private space.

With precision, humour and lyrical irony, Kim makes visible what often goes unquestioned – exposing structures of exclusion while opening up other ways of experiencing sound, language and space.

Artist Julia Schäfer invites Mélanie Scheiner to get to the meat of the matter in Mudam Journal: an essay tracing the sausage through art, desire, memory and the ghosts of family history.

Reworked from an exhibition essay for Schäfer’s ‘Only Those Who Know the Longing’, the text explores the sausage as both symbol and vessel for histories that refuse to disappear.

PERFORMANCE

The attention economy has a body. PJ H***y puts it to work.

As part of Dodeka, PJ H***y, the alter ego of Paris-based artist Garance Eva Oliveras, presents 'Personnage Principale', a new performance interrogating the entanglements of capitalism, patriarchy and image production.

Blending autofiction, viral semiotics, drag and cabaret, PJ H***y borrows from the chaotic rhythms of the internet. Viral dance moves, seduction, clowning and bodily transformation collide as symbols of power, American glamour and pop culture are dismantled and recast as slippery spectacles.

Through her digital alter ego, Oliveras turns the mechanisms of the attention economy back on themselves, bringing the repetitions, contradictions and fleeting obsessions of online culture into the performative space.

PJ H***y | 'Personnage Principale' | Performance
Friday, 28 August
19:00-20:00
at hqLX, Luxembourg-Ville
