The 16th edition of the Lyon Biennale is called “Manifesto of fragility”. The municipal museum Paul-Dini is a museum of modern and contemporary art based in Villefranche-sur-Saône. Presenting artworks from the museum’s collection, as well as its latest acquisitions, the Résonance exhibition proposes to question the fragility of human beings in their natural environment.

Through their creations, artists invite visitors to reflect upon the human-nature relationship. Some artists draw their inspiration from the fragility of nature, and use discarded objects as their primary art materials, as we can see in the assemblages of outsider artists Philippe Dereux (Traité des épluchures, 1966) and Armand Avril. With his Gathering series and his Monochrome sculpture (2020), Daniel Firman emphasizes the relationship of the body with the surrounding world. Other artists consider nature as a source helping them to address fragility.

The exhibition brings together large format works in various techniques – painting, photography, drawing, assemblage -, inviting to meditate on vanity and the diversity of fragilities, around artworks by contemporary artists Jean-Philippe Aubanel, Delphine Balley, Carole Benzaken, Ghyslain Bertholon, Marc Desgrandchamps, Florence Dussuyer, Hilary Dymond, Véronique Ellena, Marie-Anita Gaube, Cristine Guinamand, Ernst Kapatz, Jackie Kayser, Jeremy Liron, Eric Roux-Fontaine, Jacqueline Salmon, Mathias Schmied, Max Schoendorff, Djamel Tatah, Jacques Truphémus, Henri Ughetto.
