The sculptures, by Susumu Shingu, will be activated by the lightest of breezes and are set to transform the landscape surrounding the museum in Kirchberg.
Japanese artist Susumu Shingu's installation is called "Wind Caravan" and is made up of 21 individual sculptures. Having travelled the world, the exhibition finally arrives in Luxembourg.
Water, air and light - those are the natural elements essential to Susumu Shingu's art. After having studied oil painting in Rome in the 1960s, he realised that he wanted to break free from usual conventions. To frame his installations, he is constantly on the lookout for unusual surroundings.
New Zealand, Japan, Brasil and Marokko are just a few countries that have already been hosts to Susumu Shingu's wind sculptures. They are made up of simple shapes and materials and have to be sturdy enough to face high winds while at the same time maintaining a certain grace and lightness.
The installation came to Luxembourg from Japan via freighter. While the wind sculptures will be on display outside the Mudam, some of the artist's work will also be shown inside.
The outdoor exhibition can be viewed from March 17 onwards and from May 18 the sculptures will be shown inside the Mudam.
