The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) of the University of Luxembourg is launching an open art competition for a new permanent artwork to be installed in front of its Biotech 2 building on Campus Belval. The competition invites artists from Luxembourg and the Greater Region to propose an artwork that reflects the centre’s research on the brain and its diseases.
The new public artwork will be a prominent feature of the building’s entrance, a space where science and society meet. It will serve as a visual expression of the LCSB’s interdisciplinary research approach and its commitment to understanding complex biological systems, neurological diseases, and the interplay between human health and the environment. The selected work will replace an existing sculpture.
The new artwork is intended to become a long-term symbol of dialogue between art and science at the heart of one of Europe’s most dynamic research campuses.
‟ This artwork will become part of our identity, not only as a research centre, but as a place where science is made visible and accessible. We look forward to receiving proposals that translate the beauty and complexity of the brain into artistic form.”
Director of the LCSB
