9 N°IV 2023 MuseoMag DIGITISATION advanced search, where you can browse by role, discipline, artistic movement, occupation and gender. Fine-tune your search with the date filter, which shows you a graph with relevant data recorded in our database so far, or delve into solo shows and artist residencies by sorting your search query by person, group, event or award. We’re constantly working on extending our data- base to give you the most complete picture of Luxembourg’s visual arts sector. To date, the Konschtlexikon includes 6106 entries, 3204 people, 992 groups (artists’ collectives, artistic groups, in- stitutions, organisations), 1837 exhibitions, 73 awards (prizes, grants, residencies, honorary orders) and a total of 26,512 connections between different entries. SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE: AN INTERACTIVE MAP Get a sense of an artist’s trajectory with inter- active maps that show where they lived, worked and ultimately left their mark on the world. This feature offers a range of filter options for different biogra- phical data, giving fascinating insights into how and where different artists forged a path for themselves. The map on the homepage also allows you to iden- tify parallels between different artists, for example, the cities they studied in or where they were born. Mapping the artistic landscape in new and inno- vative ways by harnessing the power of inter- connected data, the Konschtlexikon opens up Luxembourg art history to the public and offers new ways of engaging with the country’s visual arts, past and present. Discover the tool for yourself on www.konschtlexikon.lu.
