La vie moderne editionI invited Ralph Rugoff to this 13th Biennale de Lyon for three reasons. The first – and not the least – of these has to do with the exhibitions, at once unexpected and carefully focused, that he has been putting together for us at the Hayward Gallery in London for some years now. Unexpected and carefully focused: two terms that convey pretty well the scope of an imagination flagged thierry“Anglo-Saxon excellence” – smart, with a good sense of humour. Coming from a New Yorker! The second, equally important reason for this invitation relates to Rugoff’s conviction that a group show – and most biennales are group shows – isn’t successful because the works on show are good; in that case, he says, “you raspailthe viewer don’t have to do anything at all. It’s like listening to the Top 50: you stand around and admire. A successful exhibition is above all a chance for the public to make new connections, to discover territories vaster than what’s inside our heads at any given moment. So the mark of a great exhibition is its capacity to include, as well, less than brilliant contributions.” One of Rugoff’s artisticillustrious predecessors, a certain Charles Baudelaire, said exactly the same thing: “Everything is not in Raphael, everything is not in Racine; that there is much that is good, sound and delightful in the poetae minores.” 1 The third reason is Rugoff’s way of being curiously European in his acceptance of the jounces and jolts of a modernity recently re-embedded in all the hybrid directormodernities now demanding our attention. The history of the extraordinary success of global-age biennales can be summed up in a parallel with the 1 history of the anthropologist during the same period: that desperate struggle Charles Baudelaire, “The Painter of Modern against the Great Divide so as to thwart the near/far dichotomy, to defend a Life”, in Lois Boe Hyslop and Francis E. symmetrical anthropology or at least a reciprocal exoticism, and to reconcile Hyslop Jr (eds./trans.), Baudelaire as a critical universalism and radical relativism; and all this in the context of the Literary Critic (Penn State University Press, massive arrival on the market of the imaginary of “vernacular modernities”, 1964), p. 4 come from afar to challenge our “togetherness”. At issue here, quite simply, 2 is the art of today, in the age of streaming, networks and “post-digital” icons. Jean-Paul Demoule, Mais où sont passés les All these matters go largely ignored by our museums and art centres, which indo-européens? (Paris: Le Seuil, 2014) have definitively specialised in the Western product and dropped anchor in the 3 ethnocentric waters of a down-home universality. By contrast the indefatigable Bruno Latour, We Have Never Been Modern reshuffling of these questions by art biennials tends to turn the latter into head and An Inquiry into Modes of Existence, honchos whose “identities” and “indigenous rootedness” get anatomised to trans.

In Rugoff’s summing-up, “‘Modern’ is ‘ironic’ and ‘anachronistic’, but we can’t get rid of it, just as we can’t leave it alone.” La vie moderne is going to be Rugoff’s Rendez-vous 15 narrative for right now: a modern for today, which is to For this 13th edition I also wanted to give a central place to say a contemporary which has forgotten nothing of the the Rendez-vous 15 exhibition, founded by the Museum magical promises of its initial premises, but no longer in 2002.

Modern is an unfinished, unfinishable artists, Rendez-vous 15 functions like a biennale, while form and consequently a considerably degraded one. A (curiously) being presented every year in different forms, “dirty modern”, says Rugoff. Yet he continues to hope with an edition in France and another somewhere outside “that today a discussion centring on modern will enlighten Europe. Overall curatorship is the responsibility of four us as to the way it goes on spreading and developing, institutions:4 the Biennale de Lyon, the Institut d’art taking on depth and nuance, evolving and adapting to contemporain (IAC) in neighbouring Villeurbanne, the constantly new contexts.” Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA) Ralph Rugoff’s La vie moderne will be showing 60 artists in Lyon, and the Museum, which collaborates with ten from 28 countries at La Sucrière and the Musée d’Art international biennales. The guest biennales this year are Contemporain. Dakar, Fukuoka, Gwangju, Istanbul, Kochi, Havana, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Sharjah and Salonika (see p. 52).

Ce fabuleux monde moderne The Biennale de Lyon was born in 1991 out of a museum The Veduta and Résonance platforms project that preceded it by seven years. It could be In 2007 the Biennale incorporated the Veduta platform, described as an offshoot of this project, which explains an experimental venture dedicated to the aesthetics of its consistency and its inherent difficulties. Since its reception and the amateur school (see p. 64). founding the Biennale has been organised as a series Résonance, which dates from 2003, is a Rhone-Alpes of trilogies whose stakes go well beyond the traditional Region art itinerary that includes twelve “Focus” units – and fortunately ill-defined – “intra-artistic” issues, and and over 200 different events (see p. 76). have spread by capillarity into areas in direct contact with the world and its cannibalistic narratives. The Museum of Contemporary Art collection has made its contributions to eBook the Biennale (Turrell, Brecht, Sarkis, Coleman, La Monte In 2015, with regard to La vie moderne and to modern Young and others), just as the Biennales have helped world and contemporaneity, it seemed to me necessary the Museum collection to grow (Viola, Cai Guo-Quiang, that our publications should go digital.

So my intention has been that a matter of succumbing to screen culture modishness this 13th edition should embody a structural Museum/ (or enslavement); rather the intention is to offer a very Biennale link that can be summed up as follows: a single broad audience, for the modest sum of 5 euros, the artistic direction for two time frames. equivalent of two printed volumes of our traditional The Museum collection, then, is being presented in catalogues.

rugoff The 13th Biennale de Lyon, titled la vie moderne will bring together artists from 28 different countries who explore the contradictory character of contemporary culture in varied regions of the world. Their work addresses the ways in which multifarious legacies of the “modernˮ era continue to colour and shape our perceptions as well as the salient scenarios and issues of everyday guest life. With acuity and wit, a desire to engage and provoke different ways of understanding, and an adventurousness in fashioning new forms and images, their work invites the public to reflect on and re-imagine our relationships to the present moment. curatorThere is (unavoidably) an ironic dimension to this title la vie moderne, which evokes a more optimistic moment in history characterised by a confident faith in the “newˮ, the virtues of progress, and the centrality of reason. Today, when current events continually remind us that reason has a limited role in a world propelled by passionate and irrational convictions, the phrase “la vie moderneˮ seems like something of a period piece, a relic from another age. It thus evinces a decided ambiguity: to say something is “modernˮ imbues it with an aura of uncertainty – it suggests something haunted by history as well as forward-looking. It seems to me this ambiguity captures the changing character of our current relationships to time and history, which mark a significant departure from classic modernism’s pretense of suppressing or disguising its debts to the past and so concealing contradictions within its own character. Today it seems clear that there is no escape from history; instead our only choice is to engage with and repair its legacies.

While the death of modernism (not unlike the death of painting) has been declared on many occasions over the past half century, these pre-mature announcements reflect the very modernist impulse of announcing a clean break from the past or articulating a reaction against it – a position that prevents us from seeing and understanding the nature of the present situation and its continuing connections to history. In contrast to this approach, the artists in the 13th Biennale de Lyon embrace what I would call a “dirty modernismˮ that is mixed, transitional, bricolaged, and punctured by history. Working with varied means and articulating fluid and playful positions and perspectives, their work explores notions of cultural overlap and simultaneity that depart from linear notions of history. Throughout the Biennale, visitors will encounter artworks that address the mixed legacies of the modern era that we continue to grapple with today: the growth of societies dominated by consumption and corporate cultural production; the ubiquity of packaging and pollution; issues of post-colonialism, immigration and national identity; the endangered project of economic equality; and the consequences of technological acceleration and proliferation, including how our ever-expanding network of electronic communications is restructuring our mental maps of the world, our relationships with images and objects, ideas of work and leisure, and our relations with one another and with ourselves.

8 13th biennale de lyon la vie moderne In terms of the curatorial selection, the focus is on recent Monument to the Greek Crisis (2015), a trompe l’oeil work that is timely and pointed, and that represents a carved marble sculpture that resembles an improvised range of different generations.

While a biennale is by definition of cultural production by amateur practitioners – people an exhibition with an international scope, I believe it who may or may not consider themselves “artistsˮ but should also have a distinct regional accent – that it who nonetheless create types of visual culture that are should reflect the particular cultural and social nuances engaging and thought-provoking and that deserve to be that characterise the current moment in the city and seen alongside contemporary art. nation where it is staged.

Ursuta’s figurative sculpture Commerce Exterieur Mondial Sentimental (2012), inspired by a photograph of a Romanian Gypsy awaiting deportation from France, evokes the problematic politics of immigration.

A new installation by Julien Previeux, meanwhile, will explore our shifting moral compass by examining examples of cheating in sport. Andreas Lolis’s

thierry Ed Ruscha’s exclamation from 1980 1 could have been the “Modern, wow!” title for this exhibition at Le Plateau 2. With his usual metaphysical humour Ruscha, the Californian artist, was harking back to his reaction to the Pedrigal neighbourhood in Mexico City, a jumble of architectural experimentation and old-style buildings he’d seen twenty-five years before. Thatmodern has gone raspail– in the sense that “facts are facts are facts” 3 – but even so it’s still there in the way it continues to generate the delicious nostalgia of a promise of happiness that was never kept and is crumbling away before our very eyes, just like Lawrence Weiner’s Masses of Rusting Metal Spreading Stains upon the Surface of the Earth 4. And conjuring up all the pranks and delights of curatorCe fabuleux monde moderne is what this exhibition of thirty works from the macLYON collection is all about. Its image will be the images of art and of the world, overlapping. Ed Ruscha’s The Back of Hollywood (1977) takes us behind the spectacle. There’s no way this luminous painting of an eternally setting sun could be less than spectacular. And then there’s Erik Dietman’s sculpture L’art mol et raide (1985–1986), thirty-nine smilingly perplexed skulls staring up from their bits of bronze on the floor at a changeless vanishing point: a clumsy rectangle on an anonymous sheet of paper. A satirical anticipation of our imminent future: an empty, skeletal square. Further along, Thomas Ruff’s anonymous city folk rub shoulders with Hans Neleman’s Maori citizens and their ties and ritual tattoos: ancient and modern getting along just perfectly. “I was given my father’s shirt when he died,” says James Patariki of his photo portrait. “For me my moko is a member of the family. Nothing scary or out of the ordinary about it; it’s just a natural part of life.” Keep going and there are Nam June Paik’s very first TV sets – recreated by the artist for the 3rd Biennale de Lyon in 1995 – next to Laurie Anderson’s The Handphone Table (1978), whose hidden sound we hear through our arm-bones with our hands blocking our ears. Then you’ve got Abramović & Ulay, slapping and shouting and getting all tangled up and ultimately sewing their mouths shut. This 1988 installation came in the wake of 1976 performances by the pair, whose complete joint works are held by the MAC. Continuing our stroll, we come to Mathieu Briand’s modern masks from 2001, which let us see what others see behind the floating world. This is the gaze transferred to the digital age, a sharing of image codes. And the exhibition opens with a William Kentridge Shadow Procession. Could all this just be a masquerade?

40 13th biennale de lyon ce fabuleux monde moderne A few words about the MAC collection 1 When it opened in 1984 the Museum laid down the Ed Ruscha, Leave Any simple rules it has been trying to follow since then: Information at the Signal the Museum will create a collection of personal exhibitions (Cambridge, MA: MIT – more a collection of events than objects. Books, 2000), p. 104 each of these exhibitions is an artist’s response to a word 2 suggested in reference to a particular aspect of his or Le Plateau, the her work. “Living” for Abramović & Ulay, for example; exhibition space at the “mind / body” for Robert Morris; “story” for Kabakov, and Rhône-Alpes Region so on. Headquarters in Lyon – as a result the collection is one of events composed 3 and imposed by the artist, and not open to modification Bruno Latour, by “curatoring”. “From Realpolitik to – the collection is an incomplete collection of “complete” Dingpolitik”, in Bruno or “generic” fragments that cannot be reduced to periods Latour and Peter Weibel or styles with a view to their recomposition within a fictive (eds.), Making Things history of art (Arte Povera, for instance, or performance, Public (Cambridge, MA: or the 1990s, and so on). MIT Press, 2005) p. 11 – in terms of art history, then, the collection is totally 4 incoherent, since its focus is not on movements and Lawrence Weiner, geography, but on distinct works produced at a given macLYON Collection, 1984 moment and given concrete expression once and for all in a solo exhibition curated by the artist. – for reasons to do with space and budget, a collection of exhibitions cannot be systematised. So Ce fabuleux monde moderne presents works which, while acquired most often from personal exhibitions, do not meet the criteria of generic works and events. They are, let us say, much more conventional and fit with academic museographic principles.

Ange Leccia — Arrangement, 1991 – Collection macLYON © Blaise Adilon © Adagp, Paris 2015 ve-

Created in 2007, Veduta is a platform that questions the creation and the reception of art using the permanent collection of macLYON as its foundation; a foundation upon which we build residencies for artists invited to the Biennale de Lyon and projects that encourage the involvement of amateurs in their conception and their construction. For each edition, we try to invent different forms of participation in which anyone, whatever their level of study or knowledge, can have the possibility to create meaning through coming into close contact with works of art. dutaFor the 2015 edition, Veduta aims to revisit the history of the Biennale de Lyon and macLYON through a “genealogy of modern” from the first biennale,The Love of Art, in 1991 up to Meanwhile… Suddenly, and Then, in 2013. The project will take root in several towns across the Lyon conurbation: Vaulx-en-Velin & Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d’Or (brought together for a common project); Lyon’s 7th arrondissement (the Gerland neighbourhood), Givors, Chassieu and Oullins. From 1991 to 2013, 22 years of creating and experimenting with modern? All of the exhibitions coproduced with macLYON this year will exhibit the artworks acquired after certain biennales and will shed light upon the permanence of the “term” modern, of the “concept” modern in contemporary art: The Love of Art 1991, And They All Change the World 1993, Sharing of Exoticisms 2000, The Spectacle of the Everyday 2009, A Terrible Beauty is Born 2011, Meanwhile… Suddenly, and Then, 2013… So many titles, each describing a life that is still inarguably modern. And so, to describe, to write, to understand, and to speak about these exhibitions, the Ecole de l’Amateur invites non- professionals of the various Veduta territories to become the co-curators, the guides, the ambassadors of the project. In parallel to this history of modern and with regard to the collection of macLYON, Ralph Rugoff, the curator of the 13th Biennale de Lyon, has been invited to extend this question of modern to Veduta. Artist residencies and contemporary art trails through the streets of Lyon will serve as extensions of the international exhibition and will question the notions of public/private.

66 13th biennale de lyon veduta Three artists will be welcomed in residence for Veduta: Marinella Senatore and Jeremy Deller, who will form a partnership as they work with the residents of Vaulx-en-Velin and Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d’Or. Massinissa Selmani will spend his residency alongside the residents of the Cité des Etoiles in the town of Givors. Several blocks of Rue Marcel Mérieux in the Gerland district of Lyon’s 7th arrondissement will become the “stage” upon which artists from the international exhibition are invited to produce original works to be exhibited in shops, restaurants, bakeries, etc. In the interest of “returning” to “a certain modern,” Ralph Rugoff mused on employing “old-fashioned” techniques to produce these works. As such, this art trail will give the opportunity to see the original prints of ten artists on display at the international exhibition produced through a partnership with the International Centre for Prints and Books (URDLA) in Villeurbanne. From this starting-point, the idea of contemporary art itineraries continues, encompassing the towns of Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d’Or and Vaulx-en-Velin where ten artists from two past biennales (The Love of Art and A Terrible Beauty is Born) will be chosen by groups of amateur-curators to participate in another art itinerary consisting of pre-existing artworks or new productions in the form of prints.

2015 will also be the occasion to open up a new phase of experimentation with the African Museum of Lyon. Two exhibitions are the result of this first collaboration: Chefs… will bring together works from the permanent collections of both macLYON (sculptures by Sunday Jack Akpan) and the African Museum of Lyon. Later, a second exhibition L’ancien et les modernes will be the occasion to bring together the art of Nedko Solakov and that of two young African artists, Sidy Diallo and Ezra Wube.

73 13th biennale de lyon veduta the method

Une fois les territoires sélectionnés, nous mettons en place, chemin faisant, un projet artistique co-construit avec les amateurs. Pour les rencontrer, nous engageons quatre démarches qui définissent la méthode Veduta.

L’Ecole de l’amateur Once or twice a week, Veduta invites residents to experiment with contemporary art. The “amateur,” the “curious,” the “connoisseur” – whatever his or her level of study or knowledge, he or she creates meaning through coming into close contact with works of art. In becoming project ambassadors for their neighbourhood, the amateur creates Veduta.

Le Porte à porte Veduta door-to-door. Three art educators knock on your door, and you open it. They aren’t selling anything, but simply propose that you take 5-10 minutes of your day to start a conversation about contemporary art. A video projected onto the wall in your living room, a photograph propped up on your kitchen chair, a sculpture placed upon your coffee table, or even a few instructions to create a work of art in your home. Contemporary art makes itself at home, in your home, as the conversation unfolds.

La Rencontre avec une œuvre Close encounters with contemporary art. Veduta organises encounters with art exactly where no one expects to come across it. A “limited” experience of an exhibition, the encounter consists of borrowing art pieces from public collections to exhibit them for a very short time in unexpected places and of starting a discussion with an invited group or simply with the passers-by.

Les Protocoles d’artistes Art by instruction. Can a piece of art be created by anyone with just a set of instructions? In 2015, Veduta puts this experimental question to the test and proposes to interpret the art instructions left by generations of artists throughout the 20th century.

in all the rhône-alpes region

Kacem Noua — Hommage à tout ce petit monde qui ondule II, 2000 - Collection macLYON © Blaise Adilon réso- At a time when conurbation-scale communities and large European regions are on the rise, it make obvious sense to actively, dynamically develop a regional cultural network. Besides the Île-de-France region (including Paris), Rhône-Alpes (soon to be merged with Auvergne region) is probably the French region with the most cultural institutions, art centres and galleries: a vast, dense fabric that supports the Biennale de Lyon. Back in 1985, the “Octobre des Arts” event aimed to bring together the most dynamic players of the region’s cultural scene on one bill – an idea which the Biennale adopted and amplified from 2003 onwards, under the unifying Résonance banner. Every two years, the Biennale de Lyon invites art centres, galleries, cultural institutions and artists’ collectives from Rhône-Alpes to partner with it, through a call for projects. The final choice is up to the Biennale’s artistic director, with nanceno limit on the number of projects. The event’s dual objective is to associate all the essential features of the regional scene with the Biennale’s theme, and offer them greater visibility. No longer just a “fringe” or a mere cultural diary, Résonance has over the years become a truly collective bill able to combine venues that differ greatly (in space, budget, team, etc.), and come from contemporary art but also the fields of literature, dance, theatre and music. The result? An exemplary profusion that is unique in the world of biennales: a line-up of about 30 events in 2003, Résonance had by 2013 grown to exceed 200 exhibitions, performances, concerts, screenings and shows. This vibrant and extensive network is now fully integrated in the Biennale, and is one of its three platforms. The purpose of Focus, created in 2009 within Résonance, is to foster the emergence of specific projects in close collaboration with various institutions, especially those working with young artists.

The programme is currently being finalised, and will be available from 1 September on the Biennale website and at all participating venues.
