Friday, November 20:


Late night starting at 6 p.m.

The exhibition Jeune création internationale is open on Friday, November 20 from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m., upon presentation of the Biennale Pass.
During the late-night event, the Biennale Pass will be offered from 6 p.m. at a rate of €18 instead of €25.


Performance - ENTRE, Nawelle Aïnèche

At the heart of the project, a sculpture in the shape of a corolla, composed of 132,000 sewing pins and the result of more than 600 hours of work. Carried like a sculpture, it comes into life upon contact with a body and transforms into a strange creature, somewhere between attraction and repulsion, movement and immobility.
Through this encounter between sculpture, the body and the public, ENTRE explores the ma, a Japanese notion that designates the interval, space-time and emptiness, considered not as an absence, but as a matter that connects beings.
An experience where the boundaries between object and living, interior and exterior, individual and collective become shifting.

→ Friday, November 20 at 7 p.m.
→ At the IAC / Frac Rhône-Alpes
→ Free upon reservation

See the performance of Nawelle Aïnèche on Saturday, November 21, at 5 p.m., at the Frac Auvergne!
