1 itinerary : 5 sites, 5 artists. In resonance with the 16th Biennale of Contemporary Art in Lyon, the New Franco-Chinese Institute presents “Trames”, a new unique artistic circuit.
Designed in partnership with the Maison des Arts – Yishu 8, it highlights five French and Chinese artists who invest five atypical and emblematic places in Lyon.
“Trames” illustrates above all the historical link between France and China around silk and its intertwined stories. "Trames" is also a carte blanche, given to each artist, whether painter, visual artist or sculptor, to come and feed this dialogue of cultures.
“Trames” offers the general public an exceptional look at contemporary Franco-Chinese art. This new scene takes hold of our places of life, our heritage, our stories, to allow us to rediscover them in a new and poetic way, while opening up new perspectives.
The Chapel of the Hôtel-Dieu will host the work of Li Xin. This Chinese artist became known for his work of traditional ink painting which he replaces in the context of contemporary painting. "Calligrapher of water", he chooses his paper for their quality of absorption, as to obtain the best absorption. Omnipresent in his work, this water-ink finds a particular resonance in the Chapel, which has hosted more than 60,000 baptisms of children born in the maternity hospital of the Hôtel-Dieu.
