| Pour la Biennale de Lyon 2013, Gunnar B. Kvaran, son commissaire, a invité des artistes du monde entier qui travaillent dans le champ narratif et expérimentent, à travers leurs œuvres, les modalités et les mécanismes du récit. L’exposition met ainsi au premier plan l’inventivité dont font preuve les artistes contemporains pour raconter autrement des histoires neuves, en défaisant les codes narratifs mainstream, les mises-en-intrigue prêtes à l’emploi. La Biennale de Lyon se compose de trois plateformes : - Une exposition internationale : commissariat Gunnar B. Kvaran en 2013, - Veduta : un programme de coproductions, de résidences et de sensibilisation à l’art, - Résonance : 100 projets d’art visuel et de spectacle vivant. | ||

| The biennial aims to create a meeting point in İstanbul in the field of visual arts between artists from diverse cultures and the audience. Considered as one of the most prestigious biennials alongside Venice, Sao Paolo and Sydney, the Istanbul Biennial prefers an exhibition model which enables a dialogue between artists and the audience through the work of the artists instead of a national representation model. The most comprehensive international art exhibition organised both in Turkey and throughout the geographical sphere we are in, the Istanbul Biennial plays an important role in the promotion of contemporary artists not only from Turkey but from a number of different countries in the international arena. | ||

Between 1987 and 1990 he wrote several books on modern art, including Braque, vie et oeuvre (L’Office du Livre / Rizzoli, 1988) and Les Fauves (Hazan, 1995). In 1992, turning his back on modern art, he and his wife Gwenolee founded a contemporary art gallery, Galerie Zürcher, in Paris, and in 2009 a second, Zürcher Studio, in New York. He was the vice-president of the Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art (CPGA) from 1996 to 2006, and in October 2000 he helped to found the Espace d’Art Contemporain on the HEC campus, where he contributes to the Médias Art & Création course. A specialist in questions of patronage, he co-authored (with Karine Lisbonne) L’Art avec pertes ou profit? (Flammarion, 2007). He is a founding member, and the current vice-president, of CIPAC (the contemporary art professionals’ association). He is promoting the idea of a French Center for contemporary art in New York. Gwenolee Zürcher is a translator who speaks several languages. She is also an expert in Asian art. She has translated, among other important works, New York 1945-1965 (L’Office du Livre, 1988).
