Lyon Biennial of Contemporary Art 2024 at the MAC

Exhibition view 17th biennial of contemporary art in Lyon 2024

After having traversed the works exhibited at Grandes Locos, I offer you a new sample of very colorful images integrating into exhibition views a few static visitors, questioned, or not, by contemporary art.

For this 2024 biennial, Lyon’s Musée d’Art Contemporain is offering accessible works whose universal messages of revolt, love and tolerance are no less present.
Let’s hear what these voices from the biennial theme “crossing the water” have to say.
