The Threads Between Collections

Serious Topics

As part of the exhibition The Space Between Threads, this Art Talk explores collecting through three complementary perspectives: private, corporate and institutional collections. Bringing together Marie-Noëlle Farcy, head of the collection at Mudam Luxembourg, Serge Cammaert, collector and director at Banque Delen, and Philippe Dupont, collector and initiator of the Arendt collection, this discussion offers different perspectives on collecting practices. It will be moderated by Claire di Felice, curator of the exhibition The Space Between Threads. How is a collection built, how does it evolve, and how does it acquire its own identity over time? Echoing the exhibition’s central theme, The Threads Between Collections examines the connections between these different practices. Between personal sensibility and artistic choices, the discussion will address the motivations behind acquisitions, relationships between collectors, artists and institutions, and how artworks take on new meanings when brought into dialogue within a collection. Beyond the differences between private, corporate and institutional collections, the exchange will reflect on what brings them together: the desire to discover, preserve, pass on and share art.
