The 17th Contemporary Art Biennale comes to an end
A huge thank you to everyone — artists, partners, teams, and of course, visitors — for making this edition a success! With 285,000 visits, the 17th edition of the Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art has established itself as a truly memorable event.
Grandes Locos, a new venue for the Biennale !
The Lyon Biennale is equipping itself to reach an even wider public. For its next editions (Art and Dance), it will be hosting artists and audiences at the new Grandes Locos site, the new name for the former railway engineering depot at La Mulatière. The site has been made available by the Greater Lyon Authority, and will become a new cultural hub as the Biennale's flagship venue.
The 17th Lyon Biennale
Entitled "Les voix des fleuves, Crossing the water", the 17th edition of the Lyon Biennale invites artists to interrogate and investigate the subject of the waxing and waning relationships of human beings with one another and with their environment.
