Vincent Crapon is Project Manager of Exhibitions for Esch2022 in Belval. Over the course of the year he will be overseeing 3 major exhibitions as part of the European Capital of Culture programme in the impressive locations of the Möllerei and the Masse Noire, both former storage units for the now defunkt Belval steel refinery. Today he came on the Breakfast Show to talk about his work coordinating the exhibitions there and what people can expect from the shows over the course of the year of culture.
Since moving to Luxembourg seven years ago Vincent has worked for MUDAM as well as the ministry of culture before taking on this role with Esch2022.
The exhibitions that are taking place in the Möllerei this year will see Esch2022 collaborate with three major international institutions that are all working at the forefront of contemporary media art. Over the course of the year ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, the HEK (House of Electronic Arts) in Basel and Ars Electronica in Linz will all present exhibitions that are uniquley designed for the striking setting of the Möllerei and Masse Noire.
The Exhibitions will feature artists from all over the world and will present on themes including human identity in the digital age, technology and industry and humanity's impact on the natural environment.
The first exhibition has already opened and will run until the 15th of May with the subsequent exhibition opening three weeks later. More information about the programme and how to book tickets can be found at www.esch2022.lu
