1 itinerary : 5 sites, 5 artists. In resonance with the 16th Biennale of Contemporary Art in Lyon, the New Franco-Chinese Institute presents “Trames”, a new unique artistic circuit.

Designed in partnership with the Maison des Arts – Yishu 8, it highlights five French and Chinese artists who invest five atypical and emblematic places in Lyon.

“Trames” illustrates above all the historical link between France and China around silk and its intertwined stories. "Trames" is also a carte blanche, given to each artist, whether painter, visual artist or sculptor, to come and feed this dialogue of cultures.

“Trames” offers the general public an exceptional look at contemporary Franco-Chinese art. This new scene takes hold of our places of life, our heritage, our stories, to allow us to rediscover them in a new and poetic way, while opening up new perspectives.

The Maison des Canuts will host the work of Capucine Néouze. A painter with a degree in architecture, she lived for 12 years in the hutong of China. Through her artistic approach, she questions a culture that is not her own by reusing Intersoie silk scraps and the traditional Chinese ink painting technique. Her image bank, made of historical and contemporary snapshots gleaned from flea markets and on the Net, also plays a major role in her work.

Silk, an eminent symbol of the Sino-Lyonnais relationship, is honored in this journey through a collaboration with Intersoie (French interprofessional association of silk).
