Discover the ART WALK VOL.2. Luxembourg Art Week will also present the iconic piece The Man Who Measures the Clouds (Monument to the Measure of the Immeasurable) 2019 by Belgian artist Jan Fabre from November 4 to November 24, 2024, near the fair. Is man the measure of all things? The sculpture's title references the legendary story of the Birdman of Alcatraz, Robert Stroud, who, upon his release from prison, declared that henceforth, he would "measure the clouds." For the Greeks, man was the unit of measure of the mutual relationship between objects, and similarly, Fabre's man stands as the measure of all things, a tribute to the grandeur of human imagination.
Good to know
The piece was presented in Venice at the 58th Biennial of Contemporary Art. This installation is made possible with the support of the City of Luxembourg.
