Bert Theis Retrospective at Mudam Luxembourg

Bert Theis: Building Philosophy – Cultivating Utopia at Mudam Luxembourg is the first retrospective exhibition dedicated to the work of Luxembourg-born artist Bert Theis (1952-2016). Bert Theis’s oeuvre can be seen as a continued attempt to create situations that allow the viewer to feel and reflect on their presence and place in the world that surrounds them. His creations, which he readily described as “philosophical”, always relate to the context in which they appear and are faithful to his political, social and artistic engagement. Aesthetically-refined, they encourage both dialogue and introspection. For Theis, art was an emancipatory tool, humor a weapon of thinking, and the artist a responsible and critical social being.

This video provides you with an exhibition walk-through and an introduction to Bert Theis’ oeuvre by the curator of the exhibition and close friend to Bert Theis, Enrico Lunghi.
