Place Abbé Larue,
69005 Lyon

The Bastion de Saint Just (commonly known as Fort de Saint Just) is a historic building of over 400 m2 of land belonging to the Navigable Waterways of France (VNF).
It sits on the heights of the 5th arrondissement of Lyon, and is a former military heritage built between 1830 and 1850.
The Bastion is a unique place, an oasis conducive to inspiration and cohabitation. Since 209, it has been occupied by Gamut, an association which has welcomed local artists, craftsmen and collectives inside the Bastion within the framework of residency programs aimed for research, collaborative creation and experimentation.

Access to the Bastion Saint Just is reserved exclusively for members of the Gamut association.
Occasional openings of the place allow the public to visit it as part of open studios, residency outings, etc.
On the occasion of the Résonance Biennale, the Bastion de Saint Just will open its doors from Wednesday to Sunday, at specific times for each of the Resonance events of Gamut.

Opening of the installation « CE(UX) QUI NOUS LIE »

Bastion de Saint Just

« CE(UX) QUI NOUS LIE » is a sensitive quest for the meaning of what connects us, makes us meet, love and leave each other. It is a relentless and infinite movement in which birth and death, questions and answers, beginnings soon to become endings get all mixed up. Everything becomes one because everything stems from the same living force, which trembles, quivers, hides and then rises and shines again. Proud, fragile yet resilient.

Vernissage de l'exposition Attentions plurielles

Bastion de Saint Just

The garden of the Bastion de Saint Just is a space marked physically through history and the passage of elements, a space drawn by the life that takes place within it.
In this meeting space between the vegetal, the mineral and the living, the exhibition "Attentions plurielles" invites one to come and explore the tension that is created between a set of works and its environment.
Stretching this tension to give it flexibility, testing its resistance, revealing our weaknesses.
This is perhaps what connects most the works of the collaborating artists : their ability to pinpoint the place where it can hurt, the one that needs our attention, to reveal that what seemed like weakness may hide a completely different reality.
