The Lyon Biennale is taking up residence for the first time in a former hospital, the Grand Hôtel-Dieu, a heritage site devoted in days gone by to hospitality and care. Built in the 12th century, it was reconstructed in the 18th century to the plans of Jacques-Germain Soufflot. In its heritage spaces, such as the Hôpital de la Charité’s archive room and the apothecary’s shops, the Biennale is displaying rituals related to the cycles of living creatures–from birth to death–that echo the site’s medical and religious history. In conjunction with the programming of the Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie de Lyon, which showcases the cultural, emotional and environmental aspects of cookery, the Lyon Biennale is also introducing new conviviality practices through shared actions and collaborative workshops.
