The international exhibition curated by Gunnar B. Kvaran presents works by 70 artists from 21 countries.

It is entitled Meanwhile… Suddenly, and Then 

In 2013, five venues are hosting the international exhibition: La Sucrière, macLYON, Fondation  Bullukian, Saint-Just Church and La Chaufferie de l’Antiquaille.

Veduta is the portion of the Biennale dedicated to amateur projects. Veduta 2013 is creating a network of more than 40 houses, found or built for the occasion, that will accommodate  artist residencies, macLYON collections, works from the international exhibition, and narratives from locals, all of which tell multiple stories. In addition, 60 private residences will host 60 artworks from the international exhibition.

Résonance is the platform for an additional 200 affiliated exhibitions, projects and residencies in the Rhône-Alpes region. Résonance is coordinated by the Biennale but is organised by artist collectives, non-profit associations, galleries, art centres and institutions throughout the area.
