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 – Yishu8, “Trames” highlights 5 French and Chinese artists who take over five atypical and emblematic places in Lyon.
Above all, “Trames” illustrates the historical link between France and China around silk and its intertwining stories. "Trames" is also a carte blanche, given to each artist 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 NIFC Contemporary Art Center welcomes Mengzhi Zheng (FR born CN). He arrived in Paris at the age of 7: from this childhood between two cultures, he became an artist. Lyonnais since 2012, this invitation is the perfect opportunity to talk about his work - with a contemporary perspective - on the questions of spaces and habitats that have driven him since a return trip to Ruian in 2008. Through drawings and volumes, the artist will invoke a large central sculpture imagined for this time of exhibition.
Silk, an eminent symbol of the Sino-Lyonnais relationship, is honored in this itinerary through a collaboration with Intersoie (French interprofessional silk association).
