In a space remodelled for each occasion, the Institute schedules four exhibition periods per year. These consist of several novel projects.
The solo exhibition is the closest to the artist and his work and is a basic principle of events at the Institute (2006: Anthony McCall, Allen Ruppersberg; 2007: Frangois CurIet, Jef Geys; 2009: Laurent Montaron; 2010 : Michel François, Matt Mullican; 2011: Hans Schabus, Joachim Koester; 2012: Berdaguer & Péjus, Bojan Šarčević; 2013: Saâdane Afif, Manfred Pernice; 2014: Thomas Bayrle, Guillaume Leblon; 2016: Jason Dodge; 2017: Ann Veronica Janssens; Maria Loboda ; 2018: Katinka Bock ; 2019: Daniel Steegmann Mangrané; 2021: Apichatpong Weerasethakul...).
Group and theme exhibitions focus on the issues of creative art today; these are more experimental and occasional (2008: Fabricateurs d’espaces; 2011: Yes, We Don't, 2013: 1966-79; 2015: RIDEAUX / blinds; Otium #1 - De Mineralis, Pierres de vision & Kata Tjuta; Otium #2 - Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me & Collection 15; 2016: Le Temps de l'audace et de l'engagement; 2018: OTIUM#3 - Jean-Marie Perdrix, Linda Sanchez, Dane Mitchell; 2019: OTIUM #4 - Leone Contini, Maria Laet, Kate Newby; 2022: La Fabrique du Nous #1 / Quels Territoires ?...).

The IAC has invited the artist Tarek Atoui to present his first major solo exhibition in Europe. This project includes existing works and new productions, and is structured around three axes: the exhibition, the educational spaces and the planned performances. Far from a simple alternation, the artist has imagined this exhibition as a living organism in which sound and human porosities become entangled and intertwined.

Periphery of the Night
Exposition personnelle Apichatpong Weerasethakul
from to
The IAC presents Periphery of the Night, an ambitious monograph on Thai artist and filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
From films to artworks, environments to videos, an expanded conception of cinema is represented by this artist, who sees motion pictures as the deployment of our soul, an interface filtering the various processes that animate us, both visible and invisible. Presenting an immersive project for every room, in which animals and humans, ghosts and forests, the living and the dead cohabitate in slumbering interstitial worlds, the artist echoes the perceptual and cosmomorphic approaches of the IAC and the Laboratoire espace cerveau: the obscurity of these artworks is charged with subversive power, as though the experience of darkness might transform us and reactivate our conversation with the living. At the heart of this alternative half-light, the idea is to deploy a relational ecology that represents a true science of compassion.

“TOWARDS A COSMOMORPHIC WORLD” PROGRAMME
from to
Co-founded in 2009 by artist Ann Veronica Janssens and Nathalie Ergino, director of the Institute for Contemporary Art (IAC), the space brain Laboratory investigates theoretical and practical research that allow for the interconnection of space, time, body and brain. In the light of both recent-day scientific achievements −in neurosciences, astrophysics, anthropology, biology, geology, etc)− and the reassessment of practices such as hypnosis, shamanism and animism, the space brain Laboratory offers itself, from the perspective of artistic experimenting, as a gathering point for researchers and artists willing to share intuition as their driving force, collective vision as their common ground, and exchange as their working method. Transdisciplinary by nature, the Lab evolves on a gradual scale, in various stages. These stages make up so many investigative units, and may assume various forms, such as workshops, lectures, or a particular focus on a body of works, whether in-site (in situ) or off-site (ex situ).

Leone Contini, Maria Laet, Kate Newby
The IAC, placing research at the heart of its activities, occasionally presents itself as a place of Otium, an interval which favors thinking, meditation and awareness. The gardens, like the interior spaces, are thus opened up in order to initiate a different space-time.
Otium #4 groups together solo exhibitions by three artists from the same generation, coming from three continents: Leone Contini, Maria Laet and Kate Newby.
With simple and measured gestures, these artists share their desire to initiate other ways of being, in porosity with the environment, to which they accord their attention and their care. They propose a re-centering, an intake of breath, more often than not in connection with the earth, somewhere between germination, collection and reparation. In this slowed down temporality, Leone Contini, Maria Laet and Kate Newby, work to initiate or re-establish links between humans and things, often the most ordinary, that are no longer looked at or that can no longer be seen. Their practice is synonymous with organicity and the infra-thin.

For Daniel Steegmann Mangrané’s project, the IAC has extended the limits of its capacity to adapt itself to the artist’s project by disrupting the conditions of the exhibition, communication and mediation, all the way to the very day to day operation of the Institute.
And so, the opening hours of the exhibition will change each day. As the length of the day grows longer, exhibition opening times will also increase symbolically, keeping pace with a natural rhythm. This original and unique experience will emphasize an alchemy which exists between the project and the artist and the place which hosts them both.

Radio is the third part in the Tomorrow’s Sculpture cycle dedicated to the artist by three exhibition venues in Europe (the Mudam Luxembourg, the Kunst Museum Winterthur, and the IAC). In what will be the artist’s first project designed for several institutions, Tomorrow’s Sculpture variously unfolds based on a shared pre-selection of artworks and constitutes a prism through which Katinka Bock explores the cornerstones of her sculptural practice – the notions of flux, matter, and space – in multiple variations.

The IAC, having placed research at the heart of its activities since its creation, becomes, from time to time, a space for the Otium, an intermediary lapse of time conducive to thinking, meditation and awareness. The gardens, like the spaces inside the IAC will then be open, hosting projects that have been developed in an elsewhere, that will become, for the length of a summer, a here.
Otium#3 collects the work of three artists, Jean-Marie Perdrix, Linda Sanchez, Dane Mitchell, who each have in common this idea of seizing matter as the foundation of their work. Mineral, organic and cosmic matter, volatile and in movement, is explored by each one of these artists, experimenting with its possibilities in different ways.
Approached in a cosmomorphic manner, this matter is as much an issue of human activities as of nature, since such a distinction no longer has any meaning. Seeking consistency, these artists use experiments and experiences as a way of producing their artistic forms. It is in this way that they intend to create and establish links with the environment, as if to intensify their relationship with what is.

The Middle Earth
Mediterranean Project by Maria Thereza Alves & Jimmie Durham
from to
In Spring of 2018, the IAC hands the totality of its space over to artists Maria Thereza Alves and Jimmie Durham for their project devoted to the Mediterranean, called The Middle Earth.
This new and original collaboration comes from the artists’ desire to explore together the territory where they live, in a poetic and critical fashion.
After a period in Marseille, followed by Rome and then Naples where they regularly travel, Alves and Durham settled on the coast of the “inland sea” following a continuous and committed period of roaming that led them away from the American continent and all the way to Europe. In a similar vein to Jimmie Durham’s Eurasian Project, begun in 1994 just after his departure from America, and the project Seeds of Change that Maria Thereza Alves began in the port of Marseille in 1999, the idea of The Middle Earth began to form little by little, in search of that vast continent, not at all defined by borders, but rather something that is completely imagined and dreamed, and thus, endless.

Rendez-vous is resolutely devoted to showcasing young French and international creation. Rendez-vous is central to the 14th Biennale de Lyon and is a veritable “antechamber of expectation”. In the past it has exhibited–amongst others, and well before they took their place on the international scene–Thai artist Apichatpong Weerasethakul (winner of the Palme d’or at Cannes in 2010), British artist Ryan Gander, Swedish artist Nathalie Djurberg (Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 2009), and French artists Guillaume Leblon and Julien Prévieux (Marcel Duchamp Award, 2014), guests of the Biennale de Lyon in 2011 and 2015 respectively.
Created by the Musée d’art contemporain de Lyon in 2002, Rendez-vous, an international platform for young creative artists with funding from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, uniquely in France, involves the combined energies of four separate institutions: the Biennale de Lyon, the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Lyon, the Institut d’art contemporain, Villeurbanne/Rhône-Alpes and the Musée d’art contemporain de Lyon.

Transdisciplinary by nature, the Lab evolves on a gradual scale, in various stages. These stages make up so many investigative units, and may assume various forms, such as workshops, lectures, or a particular focus on a body of works, whether in-site or off-site, as the 2012 display at the Centre Pompidou-Metz bears witness to

Since its creation in 2009, the Laboratoire espace cerveau, initiated by Ann Veronica Janssens and Nathalie Ergino, Director of the Institut d’art contemporain, taking the field of art experimentation as its starting point, has questioned practical and theoretical research that allows the creation of links between space, time, body and brain.
Interdisciplinary in nature, this project brings together thinking and experiences from artists and researchers in the humanities and physical sciences (anthropologists, astrophysicists, art historians, neurophysiologists), covering progress in neurosciences and astrophysics along with current practises in hypnosis and shamanism...

The IAC, which, since its creation, has placed research at the heart of its activities, presents itself periodically as the venue for Otium, an interim period in which art projects are shown; a time of reflection and meditation, distanced from everyday life, and a time to take a breather scheduled within the programme itself.
In June 2015, the IAC presented OTIUM #1, consisting of two parts: De Mineralis, pierres de visions & Kata Tjuta.
In December 2015, the IAC is presenting the collective project Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me, bringing together French and international artists.

Created in 2002 by the Museum of Contemporary Art of Lyon, with support from the Région Rhône-Alpes, Rendez-vous, an international platform dedicated to young creation, that has associated, since 2003, in a first for France, four institutions: the Biennial of Lyon, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Lyon, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Villeurbanne/Rhône-Alpes and the National School of Fine Arts of Lyon, that make up its artistic direction.
Made possible by the complementarity of these institutions, Rendez-vous proposes to reinforce the connections between different domains of competence, in this way opening increased perspectives to the chosen artists.
Since 2009, ten curators from ten international biennials have been invited to contribute to Rendez-vous. Each edition is the opportunity to invite new biennials.

It is in a wholly other directed approach that the Institut d’art contemporain opens its doors to two projects: De Mineralis, pierres de visions & Kata Tjuta.
The research subjects introduced here, fundamentally linked to the preoccupations and concerns of the IAC, will be further developed in the context of the Station 10 of the Laboratory space brain in December of 2015.
They build upon the recent attempts to be freed from the terms and conditions of the aesthetic experience in its usual acceptance, so as to privilege the attention, perception and sensations of the visitor (following exhibition The Collection Under Review, Artwork Experiences, 2014).
The Institute, having placed research at the heart of its activities since its creation, presents itself as a place of Otium: an intermediary lapse of time, a time for thought, for mediation, propitious to intuition and awareness.
The gardens, like the interior spaces, will be opened, welcoming these projects developed in an elsewhere, becoming, for a Summer, a here.

Creative work is at the heart of the mission of the Institut d’art contemporain, forming the fundamental stage from which all activities become organised and develop. This includes the constitution of the Rhône-Alpes Collection. Assembling a collection of contemporary works of art involves being both upstream and downstream of the creative operation, practically at the same time as the emergence of the works. The exhibiting and production of works are confirmed as forming one of the key sources of collecting. The Rhône-Alpes Collection is thus inevitably intercepted by the Institute's programme and its history. A collection crystallises the essential questions running through the art world and that continuously redefine its engagements.

The Institut d'Art Contemporain is presenting a solo exhibition by Anthony McCall. This English film maker, one of the protagonists of experimental cinema, first became known in the 1970s for his "solid light" films. After abandoning this activity for twenty years, he came back to it in the 2000s, and in particular on the occasion of the 2001 exhibition Into the Light, at the Whitney Museum of American Art. As a representative, or indeed a symbol, of the migration of cinematographic creativity towards the art scene, McCall is now a familiar figure in the contemporary art scene.

The Institut d'art contemporain (IAC) is putting on show the recent acquisitions of the Collection Rhône-Alpes. Since 1998, when the Nouveau Musée merged with the Fonds Régional d'Art Contemporain (FRAC) Rhône-Alpes, the IAC, besides putting on temporary exhibitions, has been managing and developing this collection. For the summer of 2006, during this transitional period in its history, the IAC's new management team has decided to present the works that were acquired in 2005. Collection'05 comprises works that focus, to a greater or lesser extent, on urbanism, architecture, mass communication, etc., with approaches that in general could be described as poetic.

Distorsions
from to

Distortions is opening in Villeurbanne just as Glissades – "Being the Minister of one's own Culture"1 closes in Paris. It is a discreet form of transmission that extends the active tribute paid to Raymond Hains, from the Palissades ("Fences") to the Lapalissades ("Truisms”), as that peerless artist continues to spin out the metaphor of freedom enamoured of words. And if Distortions is not an extrapolation of Subréel (at the Musée d'Art Contemporain in Marseille, 2003), it is nonetheless an avatar of the latter, like a partial zoom onto certain points of view adopted by that exhibition, on the rebound and with other focal points. In this particular instance, it is not so much a case of the disturbing effects of spatial or corporal perceptions on the viewer as of optical, sometimes infrathin phenomena explored by artists, with the apprehension of reality tipping over into another state of reality: the elusive state of the abstract image, the residual image, or the subliminal image.

Melik Ohanian
Let's Turn or Turn Around
from to
The Institut d’art contemporain did not participate in discussions that were recent—but of another age—about French art and its international position. In fact, Melik Ohanian's exhibition presented here seems to be the only reply possible. He belongs to a generation of artists of relevance already present on the international scene and the exhibition also proved that creation is still possible, even if the art system, clearly reflecting the society that carries it, now tends to favour shows and play on media exposure at the expense of strictness and accuracy.
