Venues and dates

The artworks gathered at macLYON create a sentimental mood and outline a map of romantic, friendly, or familial relationships, along with their rituals...

Initially based on opening in 1984, in a wing of the Palais Saint-Pierre when the City of Lyon decided to assemble a collection of contemporary art, macLYON relocated in 1995 to the Cité Internationale, a vast architectural complex stretching between the Rhône and Tête d’Or Park. The museum–designed by Renzo Piano, the architect of the entire complex–is a dialogue between the façade of the atrium of the Palais de la Foire, designed by Charles Meysson in the 1920s, and its contemporary portion in red brickwork. For this 17th edition of the Biennale, macLYON is showing a set of works involving human relations– between friends, families or lovers.
