A More Perfect Day: Collection of Mudam Luxembourg is an exhibition that features main collections of Mudam Luxembourg, Musée d'Art Modern Grand-Duc Jean. Mudam Luxembourg is one of the leading museums dedicated to contemporary art and its collection reflects current artistic trends and supports the emergence of new artistic practices in a national and international scale. The exhibition will feature about 30 works by the leading artists in contemporary art.

The title of the exhibition is taken from Sylvie Blocher’s video, A More Perfect Day, which features Barack Obama’s famous autobiographical speech from his first presidentional election campaign performed as a song by a musician, Dvaid Bichindaritz. It casts the question of individual identity VS. a more perfect community, or ideal solidarity. The exhibition also presents a neon installation and video projection by Su-Mei Tse, who represented Luxembourg and received the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Biennale in 2003. Other works include: Christoph Büchel’s video projection originally created for Sydney Biennalle 2008, showing rehearsals of a punk song perfomed by senior ladies; African-American artist Kara Walker’s installation Darkytown Rebellion, a theater of silhouette and colours dealing with race, gender, and identity; the 2000 Turner Prize winner, Wolfgang Tillmans’ Rachel Auburn & son and the Bulgarian artist Nedko Solakov’s large-scale installation The Truth (The Earth is Plane, The World is Flat).
