In partnership with Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain / Casino Display, this European post-Master’s programme launched in the 2025–2026 academic year, in collaboration with the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre (La Cambre, Brussels, Belgium), the Haute École des Arts du Rhin (HEAR, Strasbourg/Mulhouse, France), the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten (KABK, The Hague, Netherlands) and the École Nationale Supérieure d’Art et de Design de Nancy (ENSAD Nancy, France).

For the 2026–2027 academic year, the programme is organised around the theme ‘On Notation’. To note is to attempt to retain what slips away, to record a trace before it vanishes. From de notatio — the act of marking — notation refers to the gesture, the form and its transmission. It invites reflection on the ways in which artistic research can be documented, shared and transmitted beyond academic or exhibition formats. Notation thus becomes a critical and operative tool, enabling the exploration of the epistemological potential of artistic research and its practices themselves.

The Casino Display artistic research laboratory is a para-academic and para-institutional space that fosters collective and transdisciplinary experimentation. Focused on process and the evolution of ideas, it encourages participants to engage in collaborative approaches and to challenge established frameworks of creation and knowledge production. The programme offers financial support, access to technical facilities and the opportunity to join an international network of researchers and artists.
