Programme

In 2020, in the middle of the worldwide pandemic, the team at Kulturfabrik was more determined than ever to support the local art scene and the result was the Squatfabrik: a programme of short artist residencies. Due to the project's great success, it has now become a permanent project in Kufa's calendar and is back for a fourth edition since May 2023.

Four artist duos (always composed of a local and a European artist) are in residence at Kufa between May and November 2023. The last artist duo of this fourth edition is Lynn Klemmer (LU) & Marianne Villière (FR). 

Their Get-Out (which takes place at the end of each residency) will be happening on Thursday, November 2nd, from 6 to 10pm.

LYNN KLEMMER (LU)

Lynn Klemmer is a multimedia artist. She graduated at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin with a BA in Fine Art & Visual Culture (2017) and is an MA student in European Media Studies at the University of Potsdam. Her art practice, involving various media, explores the boundary between the analog and the digital, humans and machines, as well as questions regarding the bond between images and meaning. She is currently reflecting on ways to visualise brain plasticity and the fictional layers of the subconscious. 

She is also a co-founder of Mnemozine, a Luxembourgish interdisciplinary research and art collective which manifests itself as a platform for experiments in philosophy, sociology and contemporary art practice.

Marianne Villière (FR)

Born in 1989 in Nancy (France), Marianne Villière currently lives and works in Lorraine. After completing a Master’s degree at ENSAD in Nancy, she graduated from the Master CCC - Critical Theory at HEAD in Geneva and was awarded the Gianni Motti Prize. In the public space and domain, her approach seeks to find tipping points in order to: reverse the balance of power - strengthen weak links, reinforce our gestures of solidarity - make the margins, and biodiversity in particular, perceptible. This involves composing contextual and ephemeral situations. Discreet but supportive, his interventions offer double-edged interpretations.

At first, the gesture seems funny, light and even superficial, but only to confront us with the, sometimes underlying, brutality.
