Never For Money, Always For Love is the main exhibition of Design City Luxembourg 2014 at MUDAM.The exhibition is in opposition to the over production linked to marketing of design and focuses on the specific exchange relationship between Luxembourg and Portugal, the largest community of immigrants in the country. It propose a critical examination of means of production through specific projects by 13 designers.
