The current exhibition, titled “Manifesto of fragility” open for visitors until December 31st in venues across Lyon, is another wonderful example of why this biennial became such a recognized name and we are very happy to have the occasion to have with us Isabelle Bertolotti, Artistic Director of the Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art, with us this Thursday to present it together with its curators.
