The 18th Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art Opens with Theme 'Passing from One Dream to Another'
The 18th edition of the Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art, titled *Passer d'un rêve à l'autre* (Passing from One Dream to Another), opened on September 19 and will run until December 13, 2026. The event spans across 11 venues in Lyon and its metropolitan area, featuring the work of over 120 artists with nearly 400 pieces displayed. Curated by Catherine Nichols, this edition explores themes centered on human connections within economic systems and how creativity can foster new ways of living together. A key highlight is Les Grandes Locos, which serves as a central exhibition space alongside other notable venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Lyon (macLYON) and Musée des Tissus. The Biennale offers flexible access through a pass priced between €18 to €25, allowing visitors one entry per venue until December 13. Special accessibility initiatives have been introduced this year, including easy-to-read labels for broader audience engagement.
