on view September 12, 2013–January 5, 2014

The Biennale de Lyon Spans Three Platforms :
-The international exhibition, curated by Gunnar B. Kvaran, presents
works by 70 artists from 21 countries. It is entitled "Meanwhile…
Suddenly, and Then."In 2013, five venues are hosting the international
exhibition: La Sucrière, macLYON, Fondation Bullukian, Saint-Just
Church and La Chaufferie de l’Antiquaille.

-Veduta is the portion of the Biennale dedicated to amateur projects.
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
