Visit to ‘Am Tunnel’

We are organising a visit to the Spuerkeess Contemporary Art Gallery ‘Am Tunnel’. The Am Tunnel is 15 metres underground and some 350 metres long. In addition to temporary exhibitions, there is a permanent exhibition of the work of world-famous photographer Edward Steichen.

Currently there is an exhibition by the photographer Christophe Van Biesen, a Belgian photographer and artist, of his landscapes of Luxembourg and from his many trips all over the world called ‘Home and Away’.

Arriving in Luxembourg in 2008, he developed a speciality in photographing the natural and urban landscapes of his adopted country. Over the course of his many travels around the globe, the artist has also been able to take a series of photographs depicting landscapes and cities abroad. The varied aesthetic of these landscapes aims to highlight our planet’s diversity and beauty: from the vast landscapes of the North American continent to Asian megacities, via Iceland, France, Italy and numerous other destinations; without of course forgetting Belgium, the artist’s birthplace.

It will appeal to all travellers and landscape photography enthusiasts and is at once dreamy, exciting, impressive and inspiring. Beyond the photographs, the artist also seeks to convey a message that is dear to him. In a world that is opening up more and more, we, as travellers, must take responsibilities by reducing our ecological footprint. Sustainable tourism is key to preserving our planet for the future generations.

We will have a guided tour of this exhibition by Christophe himself. This will take place on Wednesday March 25^th at 11am. We will meet at 10.45am to ensure that the tour starts on time.

This guided tour is free, but we do need to provide numbers, so please register with Clare at events@blc.lu if you would love to join us.

Discover the current exhibition shown at the Contemporary Art Gallery “Am Tunnel” at www.bcee.lu, section “Discover BCEE”.

The open roles include: Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Events, Newcomers, Membership Secretary and Editor. Please, do not hesitate to put yourself forward for an enjoyable committee ride.

I will host an ask-the-committee evening at my home on July 3rd, at 19.00h during which time you will have the opportunity to ask us about the open roles.

Pipsqueaks – Morning

Pipsqueaks is a group for parents to get together with their younger-aged children for a sing-along session at a member’s home, or sometimes we organise meet-ups somewhere outside for some fresh air and a run-around. Newcomers always welcome.

It’s a very relaxed morning where the mums get to chat and drink coffee… we also sing a few nursery rhymes so that we can pretend we’ve really come for the kids rather than to socialise and get a caffeine hit! This is a really fun group that we are keen to keep going.

We’ve also created a new group on Tuesday afternoons called Coffee, Cake and Play so that our ‘graduates’ can still meet up. All ages are welcome and many older and younger siblings will be coming too. If the children want to we will also sing some nursery rhymes.

Please plan to arrive in time for a 9:45 a.m. start so parents with school-aged children are able to collect them from school.

Thank you very much!
