PARK DRAI EECHELEN
L-1499 LUXEMBOURG
Close to the museum, on the esplanade of the Park Dräi Eechelen, opposite the Ville Haute, Mudam will present the iconic artwork The Living Pyramid (2015) by Hungarian-American artist Agnes Denes (1931, Budapest), a pioneering figure of ecological and environmental art. Conceived as a monumental sculpture with a natural life cycle, The Living Pyramid takes the form of a nine-metre- high pyramid on which grow more than two thousand flowering plants selected by the artist from local flora. Denes originally created this work for the Socrates Sculpture Park in New York and has since reproduced it on several occasions,including documenta 14, held in Kassel, Germany in 2017. For this new presentation, The Living Pyramid is augmented by an audience participation project, also imagined by Denes.
