Philippart, Fr (Sk Rp)
1 Le Casino Luxembourg – reflet de valeurs de société Robert L. Philippart La réfection de la salle dite « Saint-Hubert » touche directement à la structure et à l’histoire d’un immeuble qui marque – tant par son architecture, sa situation et ses activités – le centre de la ville de Luxembourg. L’occasion est donnée pour jeter un regard sur l’histoire de cet édifice à caractère représentatif. Comprendre son histoire, la placer dans son contexte, sans tomber dans l’anecdotique ou la nostalgie d’une époque, permet peut-être de dégager des pistes de développement du site dans la continuité. Pourquoi un Casino ? L’idée de constituer, en date du 1er septembre 1880, une société anonyme au nom de « Casino de Luxembourg 1 » exprimait la volonté du milieu des affaires de créer, à l’écart actif de la ville, un lieu de détente, destiné à favoriser et à développer la sociabilité entre notables assujettis au cens électoral et détenant ainsi le pouvoir politique en exclusivité. En absence de licences accordées aux jeux de hasard, le terme de « casino » prend ici entièrement son sens de « club ». L’établissement est d’abord une salle des fêtes et de spectacles, comprenant par ailleurs un salon de lecture, un restaurant avec terrasse et jardin, une salle de billard et un jeu de quilles. Une première « Société du Casino » avait déjà vu le jour en 1818. Elle regroupait des bourgeois et des membres de la garnison. Cette association fut dissoute en 18262. La même année, l’association « Cercle littéraire » allait temporairement reprendre la relève3. Le 18 novembre 1858 fut créée la « Société Anonyme du Casino de Luxembourg » pour servir de pendant au Casino militaire de la garnison.

Courtesy of Collection Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. Summer 2017 Dear Friends, It’s great to be back with another season of BON VIVANT. The year has gotten off to a fantastic start. I recently flipped through the editions from the first four months of the year, and was struck by how amazing it is to be alive in the world today – with so much artistic accomplishment from a range of cultures, and across virtually every discipline. Highlights for me were Maurizio Pollini performing Chopin at the Royal Festival Hall and singer / songwriter Salif Keïta, whose performance at Barbican brought the warm, soulful spirit of West Africa to a very cold London in February. Another standout was Aakash Odedra at Sadler’s Wells, whose classical Indian dance was prayerful, spiritual, and ancient – a wonderful celebration of South Asian civilisation. In addition to the music and dance, there were amazing art exhibitions (Kerry James Marshall’s distinctly African-American celebration of love and beauty through painting!), new restaurants opening (every item at David Muñoz’s StreetXO’s menu is gastronomic perfection), and events for the family (many of you wrote to me about The Velveteen Rabbit). The summer months will bring even more to do, across even more places. Because European cities tend to slow down in the summer months, we’re coming to you with a single BON VIVANT Summer Edition – to cover the months of May, June, July and August.
