The Orangery of the Parc de la Tête d'Or Created in 1857 by the Bühler brothers, the Tête d'Or park is one of the largest urban parks in France. True green lung of Lyon, it houses on 117 hectares of varied landscapes, a zoological garden, a botanical garden, as well as many iconic buildings: large greenhouses, rose garden, chalets and monuments. High place of walk and culture, it was also the scene of remarkable international exhibitions, including the Colonial Exhibition of 1894. Among its treasures is the Orangery. Built in 1829 to protect during the winter the orange trees of the place des Terreaux, the Orangerie was first installed in the old plant garden of the Croix-Rousse before being rebuilt in 1859 in the park newly created by the Bühler brothers. Flanked by two side pavilions, it is still today one of the emblematic buildings of the park.

Exhibition "Suspended proposal"
For its 20th anniversary and 11th edition, the Biennale Hors Normes presents the exhibition "Proposition suspendue" at the Orangerie of the Parc de la Tête d'Or
The Orangery. Name of fruit and glass. Translucent case where time stretches, distorts, slows down. One enters this somewhat forgotten place, a little outdated, curious about what one will find there, or what one will lose there, aware of the risks of wandering.
The orange trees are no longer there. The space still breathes from their absence.
Eight artists dialogue, fragile presences or dense materials, held silences, universe in gestation.
Without compromise, without seduction. They exist, affirm, or touch. They dialogue with the light, with expectation, for you and with you. Around, the trees murmur. The birds rustle.
Out of the bustle of the world, a suspended proposal by Marcelle Benhamou, Patrice Collecini, Titos Kontou, Marie-France Lambert, François Legoubin, Chantal Payet, TLéo, Pinar Yesilada.
PERFORMANCE
This proposal will be accompanied during the opening by the dance interludes of Sung-Chun Tsai.
Opening: Sunday, September 21 at 12 p.m.
The BHN or SINGULAR ART IN THE SPOTLIGHT
The Biennale Hors Normes is an invitation to discover singular artistic forms, freed from established codes and traditional disciplinary frameworks. It highlights self-made artists or not, often carriers of atypical life courses – marked by illness, disability, marginality or simply difference. These creators express themselves with spontaneous freedom, a power of invention and a rare authenticity, far from institutional circuits. They embody a deeply human and inclusive approach, at the very heart of the BHN’s identity.
AND MORE...
After the Heritage Days, the exhibition continues until September 28, 2025.
Also find the 11th Biennale Hors Normes in 20 other places of the Metropolis of Lyon and beyond.
