Gesine Borcherdt : Dream On Baby
Presented by the author
in English
VENUE : Casino Display, 1, rue de la Loge, L-1945 Luxembourg
Childhood never leaves us. For many artists, it was the trigger for making art in the first place, and is still what drives them today. For Dream On Baby, Gesine Borcherdt asked 33 artists, including Ai Weiwei, Marina Abramović, Lynda Benglis, Vaginal Davis, Marcel Dzama, Mona Hatoum, Jeff Koons, Mary-Audrey Ramirez, Gregor Schneider, and Jordan Wolfson, about their memories of childhood. The result is an anthology of deeply personal stories, by turns tragic, funny, and heartbreaking, but always surprising.
Accompanied by never-before-seen childhood photographs and drawings, Dream On Baby sheds new light on what it means to make art.

Casino Display
Artist space Casino Display is organising a series of events around the notion of “home”. How do you make a space your own, dream about it, create your own home?
How do we imbue a place, or how does the place imbue us?
Does home have anything to do with the land of one's birth? Does home have something to do with childhood?
These questions will be addressed in three bookclub sessions.
Participation is free. Places limited. Reservation is required.
All the books selected for the casinoBookClub are on sale in our bookshop.
