There are 20 tickets available for the preview programme courtesy of the Lyon Biennale.

Founded in 1991, the Lyon Biennale is a leading international contemporary art exhibition and a major art event in France. In 2022, the biennale attracted nearly 280,000 visitors. Artists from many countries – including the Netherlands – show their work here. The biennial therefore acts as a springboard for new exhibitions at other international art platforms.
Guest curator for the 17th edition is Alexia Fabre (director Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris). This edition of the Lyon Biennale focuses on human relationships and the contemporary issues underlying them such as hospitality. Artists from different backgrounds and at different points in their careers are invited to share their interpretation and vision on this theme.
The exhibition will be spread across different locations in the city, with Les Grandes Locos (Former SNCF workshop at La Mulatière) and macLYON as the main venues in 2024.
