In the context of Luxembourg’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union during the second half of 2015, the photomeetings will honour the world renowned, Luxembourg-born photographer Edward Steichen with a one man show at Galerie Clairefontaine, Espace 1, on Place Clairefontaine.
At Espace 2, rue du St-Esprit, a curated exhibition with photographs by Edward Steichen, in dialogue with images by five contemporary photographers from Luxembourg, will be on display: François Besch, Andrés Lejona, Michel Medinger, Lé Sibenaler and Marc Wilwert.
The title of this eleventh edition is "Six Lives in Photography", inspired by Edward Steichen‘s autobiography "A Life in Photography". The photographers were chosen according to their photographic journey so far, and their evolution in the Luxembourg art scene.
Given that Luxembourg holds the EU presidency, it is important to value the cultural heritage of the country and to promote its photographic tradition and creation.
