The notion of “urban renewal” dates back to the 1990s, and refers to the different interventions implemented in difficult neighborhoods, interventions which have been trying to improve their working operations and favour their integration in the city. These interventions range from restructuring apartment buildings to improving bus services, creating new public services, setting up new companies, and social accompanying of the residents. Within this context, the curators of the Biennial (guest curator and artistic director) are setting up an artist residency in 3 main territories: Le Carrée de Soie, Le Grand Parc and Lyon-Vénissieux.</p><p class="style45" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">The purpose of the residency is the production of an<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>in situ</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>work, to be shown during the Lyon Biennial 2009 (14 September 2009 – 3 January 2010). The notion of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>in situ</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is to be understood in the broad sense of the term: it can be an artistic work part of the urban landscape or using the material or immaterial content of the occupied urban space for the production of an installation or any other kind of contemporary creation. The kind of intervention could be an exhibition, a performance, or even an urban sculpture.</p><p class="style45" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">From April to September 2009, the artist will be expected to come 4 or 5 times for short residencies in the territories.
