Rendez-Vous
IAC - Institut d'art contemporain, Villeurbanne
Young International Artists / Biennale de Lyon 2015. Though the confrontation of places and cultures may not be anything new, Rendez-vous allows 20 artists to benefit from a first important exhibition in a renowned institution by way of an international dialogue, with each edition being more fruitful than the last.
Created in 2002 by the Museum of Contemporary Art of Lyon, with support from the Région Rhône-Alpes, Rendez-vous is an international platform dedicated to young creation, that has associated, since 2003, in a first for France, four institutions: the Biennial of Lyon, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Lyon, the Institut d’art contemporain, Villeurbanne / Rhône-Alpes and the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-arts de Lyon, that make up its artistic direction.
Made possible by the complementarity of these institutions, Rendezvous proposes to reinforce the connections between different domains of competence, in this way opening increased perspectives to the chosen artists. Since 2009, ten curators from ten international biennials have been invited to contribute to Rendez-vous. Each edition is the opportunity to invite new biennials.
A biennial exhibition...that takes place each year: Rendez-vous is exhibited at the IAC during the Biennial of Lyon, and the following year, in a different form, outside of Europe. So in 2008, Rendez-vous was presented in the Shanghai Art Museum, with residencies in Moscow, Peking, Miami, and Buenos Aires; in 2010, Rendez-vous participates in the Biennial of Shanghai; in 2012, Rendezvous was presented in the South African National Gallery of Cape Town; and in 2015, Rendez-vous is exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Arts / LASALLE College of the Arts, in Singapore.
