Ceci n’est pas un Casino (This is not a Casino): this must be the most-uttered statement regarding Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain to date. Frankly, who would not mistake it for a gambling hall, reading only the name? The title of this exhibition is both programmatic and misleading: it presents contemporary pieces around the subjects of playing and gambling. Each of the artworks constitutes, as it were, an invitation to entertainment, be it through video games, playgrounds or carrousels... But one reality remains: playing impossible!
