In a space remodelled for each occasion, the Institute schedules four exhibition periods per year. These consist of several novel projects.
The solo exhibition is the closest to the artist and his work and is a basic principle of events at the Institute (2006: Anthony McCall, Allen Ruppersberg; 2007: Frangois CurIet, Jef Geys; 2009: Laurent Montaron; 2010 : Michel François, Matt Mullican; 2011: Hans Schabus, Joachim Koester; 2012: Berdaguer & Péjus, Bojan Šarčević; 2013: Saâdane Afif, Manfred Pernice; 2014: Thomas Bayrle, Guillaume Leblon; 2016: Jason Dodge; 2017: Ann Veronica Janssens; Maria Loboda ; 2018: Katinka Bock ; 2019: Daniel Steegmann Mangrané; 2021: Apichatpong Weerasethakul...).
Group and theme exhibitions focus on the issues of creative art today; these are more experimental and occasional (2008: Fabricateurs d’espaces; 2011: Yes, We Don't, 2013: 1966-79; 2015: RIDEAUX / blinds; Otium #1 - De Mineralis, Pierres de vision & Kata Tjuta; Otium #2 - Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me & Collection 15; 2016: Le Temps de l'audace et de l'engagement; 2018: OTIUM#3 - Jean-Marie Perdrix, Linda Sanchez, Dane Mitchell; 2019: OTIUM #4 - Leone Contini, Maria Laet, Kate Newby; 2022: La Fabrique du Nous #1 / Quels Territoires ?...).

Les échos du silence / Echoes of Silence
CHANG Yung-Ta
from to
IAC Villeurbanne
For his first solo exhibition in Europe, Chang Yung-Ta invites us to discover the hidden frequencies of reality.
Like a meditative walk, Echoes of Silence offers a contemplative experience of disturbances that, though imperceptible, shape our environment. Both artworks and instruments, Chang Yung-Ta’s installations use technology to transform data from natural phenomena into sound compositions.
The exhibition marks a key moment in the artist’s trajectory, offering a perspective on a practice inherently shaped by randomness and accident. By embracing entropy as a mode of composition, Chang Yung-Ta invites us to reflect on the invisible and on the use of technology as both a tool for knowledge and a means of creation.

Dernier avertissement / Last Warning
LI Yi-Fan
from to
IAC Villeurbanne
The Institute of Contemporary Art (IAC) hosts the first solo exhibition in Europe of Li Yi-Fan, a rising figure in the Taiwanese contemporary scene who was recently chosen to represent Taiwan at the 2026 Venice Biennale.
The project brings together the artist’s latest video installations, whose production is based on a principle of radical DIY. Designing his own tools inside game engine, Li Yi-Fan develops his works through a constant process of experimentation with machines, making each project a long and meticulous process. Last Warning thus marks a milestone, offering both a
glimpse into a practice in constant evolution—always ahead of its own obsolescence—and a reflection on our relationship with the virtual, caught between fascination, saturation, and disorientation.

Dernier Avertissement / Les échos du silence
Two solo exhibitions : LI Yi-Fan and CHANG Yung-Ta
from to
IAC Villeurbanne
This summer, the Institut d'art contemporain is dividing up its space to host the first two solo exhibitions in Europe by artists Chang Yung-Ta and Li Yi-Fan, offering a plunge into innovative artistic practices that, each in their own way, use the technological means of our time to push back the limits of our perceptions. Both Taiwanese, Li Yi-Fan and Chang Yung-Ta have designed immersive experiences for the IAC in which sculpture, video and sound combine to serve two radically different worlds.
