13th Lyon Biennial: La vie moderne

Lyon, France

September 2015–January 2016

Thorny topics such as post-colonialism, immigration, national identity, and the limitations of our burgeoning network of electronic communications, are the focus of the 13th Biennale de Lyon.   A potent piece by the Romanian artist Andra Ursuta, is Commerce Exterieur Mondial Sentimental (2012). The work depicts a pair of Romanian women, based on a photograph of gypsy travellers awaiting deportation from France.  Learn more at The Art Newspaper.
