El viernes se inaugura una bienal singular: la 11/ BIENNALE DE LYON. Una interesantes bienal de arte especialmente por su formato. The Lyon Biennale is a Biennale d'auteur and, as Jean-Hubert Martin noted, "a clever way of having themes addressed through the personalities of others". Each biennale provides the opportunity to explore a specific issue. Its nine editions thus far have formed three successive trilogies: the first devoted to History, the second to Globalisation, and the third to Temporality. They have been curated by an international array of art historians, critics and professional curators including: Harald Szeemann, Jean-Hubert Martin, Le Consortium (with Robert Nickas and Anne Pontégnie), Stéphanie Moisdon and Hans Ulrich Obrist, and now, in 2009, Hou Hanru.
This year, the curator is Victoria Noorthoorn.
In this context, we have the exhibition Coup d'eclat, which Andrea Rodriguez Novoa is curating with two colleagues, Francesca Agnesod y Guillaume Hervier, in the framework of Focus - Resonance of the XI Lyon Biennial and that will take place in the contemporary art center Fort de Bruissin from september 15 2011 to february 5 2012.
