Fabien Verschaere
Seven Days Hotel
Born in 1975, Fabien Verschaere lives and works in Paris. He is a well recognised artist on the contemporary scene, and this is his third collaboration with the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Lyon. For the project Seven Days Hotel, Fabien Verschaere has transformed the museum into a hotel. In a universe which occupies the space between dream and nightmare, the seven rooms of the hotel trace the initiating journey taken by a sick child to face the world.

Une Question de Génération
Curated by Michel Ritter, director of the Swiss Cultural Centre of Paris.
This exhibition explores the generation of Swiss artists who have established themselves on the national and international contemporary art scenes. Through a by no means exhaustive selection of 12 artists born between 1962 and 1967, the exhibition displays their creative diversity.
The exhibition presents works by Francis Baudevin, Andreas Dobler, Christoph Draeger, Massimo Furlan, Bob Gramsma, Fabrice Gygi, Lori Hersberger, Claudia & Julia Muller, Pipilotti Rist, Ugo Rondinone, Gerda Steiner & Jorg Lenzlinger, Sydney Stucki, Christoph Buchel, Yan Duvvendak, Laurent Goei, Teresa Hubbard & Alexander Birchler, Marianne Muller, Elodie Pong, Markus Wetzel, and Ingrid Wildi.
Armenie Contemporaine – Contemporary video art
As part of l’Année de l’Arménie en France, the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Lyon has chose to show contemporary Armenian video production. Beginning with the work of Hamlet Hovsepian, a selection of recent fims is presented, from artists belonging to the group Troisieme Etage, up until the youngest generation of artists. Artists shown are Varham Aghasyan, Diana Hakobyan, Hamlet Hovsepian, Arman Grigoryan, Tigran Khachatryan and Karine Matsakian.
