10th Lyon Biennale - The Spectacle of the everyday

Catalogue of the 10th edition of the Lyon Biennale, held between 16 September 2009 and 3 January 2010 curated by Hou Hanru. The Biennale and the catalogue start with the premise that within a global art scene there is an increasing tendency to reinvent the ordinary into something spectacular and unique that is in turn challenging the notion of the spectacle and the everyday. This catalogue documents the programme presented thoughout Lyon and the selected works of the some 60 artists who have contributed to it. Illustrated throughout, the publication also includes written contributions by Boris Groys, Thierry Raspail, Hou Hanru. Nikos Papastergiadis, Philippe Vergne and Abdelkader Damani, among others.
