Triennale 10
16.09-28.11.21
Ottignies -
Louvain-la-Neuve
Project driven by the Centre culturel d’Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve and its mains partners (CCBW-Pulsart, UCLouvain, Musée L, Ateliers d’art de la Baraque, Centre culturel Wolubilis, Le Botanique), the Triennial of Contemporary Art of Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve will have its 10th edition in the fall of 2021. With each edition, it reveals evil doubles, points of tension of our territory and the world and highlights an original approach of (new) contemporary art practices.
The last Triennales have questioned the expectations of a city-world in constant expansion (Biennial6), the contrasts between the perfect world and its scathing denials (Biennial7), a world exhibition in an underground parking lot as the flip side of an official world (Biennial8), the Biéreau district as an urban vision developed for research, transmission and art and not contaminated by commerce or capital (Biennale9).
