Veduta 2013 is creating a network of more than 40 houses, found or built for the occasion, that will accommodate artist residencies, macLYON collections, works from the international exhibition, and narratives from locals, all of which tell multiple stories. In addition, 60 private residences will host 60 artworks from the international exhibition. -Résonance is the platform for an additional 200 affiliated exhibitions, projects and residencies in the Rhône-Alpes region. Résonance is coordinated by the Biennale but is organised by artist collectives, non-profit associations, galleries, art centres and institutions throughout the area. La Biennale de Lyon is a non-profit body that devises, produces and stages two major international events in alternate years: The Dance Biennale and the Biennale of Contemporary Art. Since the first Lyon Biennial in 1991, its Artistic Director, Thierry Raspail has invited a Guest Curator to organize the exhibition in response to a “key word”. For the 2013 Contemporary Art Edition Guest Curator Gunnar B. Kvaran has responded to the key word “transmission” with the theme of “narrative”. Titled “Meanwhile, Suddenly, and Then...”, this edition will include works by more than 70 international artists, 80% of which are newly-commissioned. The Biennale takes place from September 12th, 2013 until January 5th, 2014 in several venues throughout the city.Ver mais
