The 13th Lyon Biennale, directed by Thierry Raspail and curated by Ralph Rugoff (director of Hayward Gallery), takes place across multiple venues from September 10, 2015 to January 3, 2016. The theme cleverly sidesteps the term "modern" as proposed by Raspail for a three-year cycle. The biennial features contemporary art in diverse locations throughout Lyon.
