Martine Feipel & Jean Bechameil's 'Theatre of Disorder' at Casino Luxembourg

exhibition · 2026-04-24

Luxembourgish artists Martine Feipel and Jean Bechameil present 'Theatre of Disorder' at Casino Luxembourg, an immersive installation that critiques technology's impact on daily life. The central room, reminiscent of a bygone ballroom, features a headless cyborg statue, fossilized communication devices, a rotating neo-plastic installation, and a bas-relief revealed by a stage curtain. All pieces move unpredictably, powered by a white light system and invasive soundtrack. Curated by Kevin Muhlen, the exhibition references Mondrian's neoplasticism, Fernand Léger's 'Ballet mécanique', and Moholy-Nagy's light-space modulator. Feipel and Bechameil question technological progress and obsolescence, presenting a poetic yet critical view of modernity. The show includes exposed technological connections and preparatory drawings, emphasizing the tension between artifact and sensibility.
