The selection of Lyon Capital
Titled Endless story(s)the gallery exhibition The Street Lamp marks the end of this independent and iconic Lyon venue created by Catherine Dérioz and Jacques Damez in 1981, taking up the challenge of setting up outside Paris and which has continued to defend contemporary photography.
The adventure stops, victim today of an overly financialized art market, concentrated in the hands of a certain international taste which hinders freedom of choice and actions and above all the fact of not being able to live of the important work carried out without any financial support.
We are given the opportunity to see around twenty emblematic artists such as William Klein, Géraldine Lay, Beatrix Von Conta, Jacques Damez, Yves Rozet, Jean-Claude Palisse, Bernard Plossu, Denis Roche, Marc Riboud (until December 28 ).
The exhibition Michel Mouffe at Le Corbusieris the opportunity, if you have not already done so, to cross the doors of convent of Tourette in Évreux (near Lyon), Le Corbusier's last major work in France, which has been welcoming contemporary artists in residence for several years with the idea that their works are not simply exhibited but that they inhabit this living space.
Echoing the architecture and lights of the convent, Michael Mouffe creates paintings centered on the essential: vibrant colors, silence, an inner and spiritual quest and invites us on a walk filled with poetry and chromatic landscapes (until November 23).
Created twenty years ago on the campus of Lyon 1 University, the gallery Domus is dedicated to photography and contemporary art without defending a particular artistic movement, exhibiting both established and emerging authors.
She welcomes the photographer and visual artist Bertrand Stofleth (graduate of the National School of Photography in Arles) who carries out both plastic and documentary work around the question of territories by residing there and meeting the inhabitants, archiving both socio-economic mutations and those housing, the development of industrial sites and the collapse of sections of mountains (See you tomorrowuntil December 13).
