The stages completed to date for the development of this exhibition have entailed the collaboration of various institutions involved in the project. The most recent activities have been supported and hosted by the MUDAM Museum of Modern Art of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Casino Luxembourg - Forum for Contemporary Art in Luxembourg.
