Eric Rondepierre, La Foule, 2001. Cibachrome sur diasec, 120 x 250 cm 1/3.
Now that the millennial wrap-ups are truly over, the sixth Biennale d’Art Contemporain de Lyon has turned an eye to the future: This installment (to be continued in 2003), themed “Complicity,” is a primer for the multidisciplinary visual culture the next century promises. Under the direction of Musée d’Art Contemporain’s Thierry Raspail and Thierry Prat, seven international curators explore points of contact among video, photography, dance, film, music—even literature (installations by French writer Patrick Bouvet and ferocious English novelist Will Self are planned). Following Harald Szeemann’s 1997 installment and Jean-Hubert Martin’s last year, this Biennale delivers the grandest mix yet.
