Schools

Casino Luxembourg offers a mediation/visit programme aimed at school groups in basic, secondary and higher education, as well as relay houses and school foyers. It aims to develop a critical sense and observation, to open the discussion on the different forms of creation and their relationship to the current world.

The Casino Luxembourg team is looking forward to welcoming you to the group exhibition Black Air. This exhibition takes its name from the equally historical and immersive art installation consisting of films and projections by Aldo Tambellini (1930-2020) and Otto Piene's Inflatables (1928-2014). This installation has only ever been shown once in public, in May 1968 at an experimental venue in New York City, the Black Gate Theater.

In the exhibition of the same name, curated by Amelia LiCavoli, the historical installation is combined with contemporary works by Ibrahim R. Ineke, Semiconductor, Ayako Kato, Max Kuiper, Lisa Slodki, and Hans de Wit. We look forward to delving deeper into the subject matter with you and your classes and to engaging in exciting conversations based on the works.

Guided tours
Guided tours can take several forms: visits in the company of an exhibition guide, around the history of the Casino, discussion of contemporary art or other topics.

Tailor-made workshops
These are workshops directly linked to the current exhibition. After the guided tour, the participants carry out specific projects under the supervision of a mediator.

Permanent workshops
Accessible all year round and independent of temporary exhibitions, these workshops are inspired by the permanent works of the Casino.

In addition to the art mediation/visits offered at Casino Luxembourg, it is possible to organise workshops, educational projects or guided tours adapted to the school curriculum or to the subjects discussed in class. These projects and creative works can span several sessions, depending on your availability and needs.

Intra and extra muros collaborations
Do you have an idea for a specific workshop, a particular request for your class, or the desire to create your tailor-made project? Do not hesitate to submit them to us! Our team is always looking for new projects and collaborations. Based on exchange and transdisciplinarity, these projects can extend over several sessions and adapt to the school curriculum.

Continuing education for teaching staff
All training and master classes for teaching staff are approved by the Institut de formation de l’éducation nationale (IFEN).

In conjunction with the exhibition Black Air

Flipping dots

Basic and secondary education

In this workshop, students will explore movement and transformation inspired by Aldo Tambellini's abstract, experimental style. Using simple materials such as stickers, they will create their own flipbooks reflecting dynamic sequences centred around Tambellini's themes of light, shadow and change.

Running ink

Basic and secondary education

Just as Tambellini used dark and light contrasts to create strong visual effects, here breath will be used to move and shape ink on paper. Exploring abstract patterns and textures, the students will use a simple gesture to create a create a dynamic work of art.

Painting with light

Basic and secondary education

As part of the Black Air exhibition, the students try out a technique based on long exposure photography. With just two instruments - a torch and a camera - light becomes the main focus, to draw or write. 

Playing papercut

Basic and secondary education

For the Black Air exhibition, the Semiconductor collective explores the empty spaces between stars and galaxies. Together we will explore the technique of papercuts and embark on a search for light and darkness. 

Dots and dashes

Secondary and higher education

As part of the Black Air exhibition, the students deal with the Morse code alphabet and its possible applications from the torch to radio signals. Find out, how and why Morse code was developed!
