Close up on “Cooperation in space” by Spike ✨

How does this artwork relate to space activities?

Luxembourg actively engages in collaboration with public and private entities around the world, committed to strengthening international dialogue and fostering the advancement of exploration, commercialization, and sustainable progress in the space sector. A full member of the European Space Agency since 2005, the country also contributes to and supports United Nations activities relating to space matters, especially regarding the SpaceResources.lu initiative.

“For me, collaboration means finding the right partners to share and develop common ideas and enhance them together. I’m passionate about flags – symbols of national identity – and I find that the dynamic form of a waving flag offered the perfect medium to incorporate my personal shapes into my artwork.”

Since the mid-1990s, Spike has steadily expanded his practice. Starting with traditional graffiti lettering, he seized the opportunity at the dawn of the new millennium to explore new territories and experiment in a new direction. He reduced his letters to their basic skeleton. Despite these changes, Spike stays true to his distinct and recognizable shapes. His work often appears in abandoned places marked by time.

Discover more of his work on his website: spike.lu and in real life at LE MUR Luxembourg where his new fresco was inaugurated 2 weeks ago on the façade of the Lëtzebuerg City Museum in the old town. 🙌

Close up on "IN ORBIT ACTIVITIES" by
Julie Wagener🌟

How does this artwork relate to space activities?

In-orbit services range from final release into orbit to manufacture and assembly in orbit, extension of mission duration, and debris removal. They will play a key role in ensuring sustainable activities in space.

Luxembourg already supports the development of technologies such as rendezvous technologies or a robotic arm and envisages positioning in the supply of services that extend telecommunication missions in geostationary orbit.

Luxembourg also promotes the sustainable use of space resources to support future missions. This approach fosters innovation and responsible space operations.

“I’d like to think that orbital and spatial activity contribute an important asset to research. However, it's crucial to develop sustainable and ethical practices that are not motivated by profit maximisation but seek to create valuable assets to studying and resolving some of humanity's most pressing challenges.”

wagener is a Luxembourgish illustrator and painter. Proved to be a versatile storyteller, she uses figurative imagery and layered meanings to address socio-political matters, identity and mental health. The artist invites viewers to reconsider the connection between individual experience and broader cultural, political and social contexts.
