Grâce à la collaboration entre le musée d’art contemporain de Lyon, l’école nationale des beaux-arts de Lyon et l’Institut d’art contemporain, Villeurbanne / Rhône-alpes, la Biennale d’art contemporain de Shanghai met à l’honneur quatre jeunes artistes ayant un lien avec Rhône-Alpes dans un cadre tout à fait exceptionnel : celui de l’exposition universelle, conçue autour du thème « Better City, Better Life ».
The fruit of collaboration between the Rhône-Alpes Region and the city of Shanghai, this Rendez-vous in Shanghai 2010 gave the opportunity for these young French artists whose work is still too little known to gain increased visibility thanks to contacts between territories, the pooling of French and Chinese resources and a very broad opening to various publics.
Thus, four artists selected in the preceding Rendez-Vous showed new works at Shanghai Art Museum in the theme of the 8th Shanghai Biennial: Rehearsal.
In return, the Musée d’art contemporain hosted an exhibition, Infantization, of work by young Chinese artists from 30 September to 24 October 2010.
