Biennale de Lyon Names Artists for ‘Fragility’-Focused 2022 Edition

The Biennale de Lyon, one of the most important biennials in France, has revealed the artist list for its 2022 edition, which is due to run from September 14 to December 31. Delayed by a year by the pandemic, the biennial is likely to be a closely watched one this time because its curators, Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, were recently named directors of the Hamburger Bahnhof, a major modern and contemporary art museum in Berlin.

Bardaouil and Fellrath, along with the biennial’s artistic director, Isabelle Bortolotti, have named their edition “Manifesto of Fragility.” The curators said in a description for the show that the exhibition would “represent varied understandings of our current state of global uncertainty.”

The partial artist list for the 2022 Biennale de Lyon follows below.
