Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art

Entitled "Les voix des fleuves, Crossing the water", the last edition of the Lyon Biennale invited artists to interrogate and investigate the subject of the waxing and waning relationships of human beings with one another and with their environment.

The Lyon Biennial was born in 1991 out of a desire to exploit the city's potential for organising international events to showcase contemporary artistic creation. Alternating with the Dance Biennial, created in 1984, it has proposed from the outset to invite artists to reflect on a topical theme that is sufficiently vast to allow for a multiplicity of interpretations and methods of exploration.
