The new art institution
International Kunstverein Luxembourg will present as first official activity a solo show of the Italian artist Paolo Cirio, living and working in New York. Starting from October 15th 2016, a new appropriation of his

These pedestrians have a second undetermined, public existence in the Internet, of which most of them are not conscious at all.

STREET GHOSTS concept at several places worldwide since 2012. The
International Kunstverein Luxembourg is happy to be supported by the City of Luxembourg, Ouevre nationale secours Grande Duchesse Charlotte and LaLux.
