The Other
Curator: Harald Szeemann; works by 88 artists. This 4th edition marked a new step because Szeemann proved that Lyon, compared with other Biennials, could play its game well by asserting its will to think globally - at a time when the word wasn't commonplace yet - and in terms of multiculturalism.

The presence of painters, poets, writers and philosophers highlighted the interaction between this century's plastic-art and verbal transformations. Works by aprox. 50 artists.
