One of the key drivers for this initiative is the notion of 'Remix Culture' described in the Esch-related promotional material as "using existing situations to give them new meaning". 'De Mains De Maîtres', the moniker for the Biennale, is perhaps the perfect spectacle to curtain raise for the nation's next cultural landmark, the southern city of Esch becoming one of the three European Cities of Culture for 2022. While much of the 'dialogue' between artistic modes might well take the form of 'what are you doing here?', it's still fascinating to observe such variety. This eclectic collection seems to bring together the greatest hits of each vintage under one roof. Indeed boundaries are most easily abandoned in the creative world, and no exception is the capital's modern art museum, MUDAM, where 25 years of exhibitions are celebrated this season. It's the brainchild of Parisian, Jean-Marc Dimanche, a thoughtful and modest man whose passion for art and deisgn knows no bounds.

Stockwell frequently dipped in and out of his acting career - in the '60s, he was involved with hippie groups in Southern California, participating in drug-filled love-ins, and he nearly changed professional course entirely in the early '80s by obtaining a real-estate license and moving out of Los Angeles. Stockwell was considering leaving the film industry again when he got a call from fellow actor Harry Dean Stanton, who convinced him to join him on the set of Wim Wenders’ acclaimed Paris, Texas, a move that led Stockwell to some of his most memorable roles, like David Lynch's Dune and Blue Velvet, Married to the Mob (for which he earned a supporting actor Oscar nomination), The Rainmaker and The Player.Fair enough.

Stockwell then returned to acting as a young adult in 1956, guest-starring on multiple TV shows and appearing on Broadway in Compulsion. He went on to reprise the role for the 1959 film version, which won him Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival. I got those kind of roles, and I didn't care for them very much."Īfter graduating from high school in Los Angeles, he attended the University of California, Berkeley, for a year before dropping out. "There were a few films that I enjoyed, they were comedies, they were not important films, weren't very successful, so I was always pretty much known as a serious kid. Stockwell continued to act in films throughout the '40s and into the early '50s, though he later noted that working as a child actor had its challenges. "I didn't enjoy acting particularly when I was young, I thought it was a lot of work, " he said in a 1995 interview. Though his part was small and the production didn't run long, the show led to a contract with movie company Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Stockwell's first big-screen appearance was in 1945's Valley of the Decision, but before long he was appearing in many high-profile productions, including Anchors Aweigh with Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, Kim with Errol Flynn, Gentleman’s Agreement and The Boy With the Green Hair. His mother took him and his older brother, Guy, to audition, where they both landed roles. While his dad was appearing on Broadway in Oklahoma!, Stockwell heard about a nearby play called Innocent Voyage by Paul Osborne that was seeking child actors.
