Resonance 2011, Lyon Biennale /Director: Burgat, Sylvie

Guide Book. Curator: Victoria Noorthoorn. The 11th Biennale de Lyon includes around 70 artists from around the globe (see the list), but primarily from Europe, Africa and Latin America, across the 14,000 square meter of its four venues: La Sucrière, the Fondation Bullukian, the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Lyon, and the T.A.S.E. factory. There will be two additional platforms: "Veduta," a window on the diversity of visual cultures, with a wide range of local stakeholders, under the direction of Abdelkader Damani; and "Résonance", an art trail involving more than 90 art centres, galleries, and artist collectives across Greater Lyon and the Rhône-Alpes region. The Biennale’s catalogue is being conceived and directed by an editorial team based in Buenos Aires, that includes writers Carlos Gamerro and Rubén Mira, playwright and theatre director Alejandro Tantanian, and Victoria Noorthoorn. Published and designed in close collaboration with editor Franck Gautherot from Les Presses du Réel, the catalogue is being conceived as an editorial, autonomous work – rather than as a representation of the Biennale per se.
