Conclusion
Overall, I really enjoyed this experience to travel to Europe to experience and immerse myself in the art culture in Venice, Italy and in Lyon, France. I think this course is imperative to the Art and Design students of UNSW, as it takes you out of your comfort zone and into new ways of thinking about art. Each day we would have a day out to an exhibition of the Biennale. Then within the week we would select a work and analyse it with some research, and present it to the class at the end of the week. The positives of the presentations are that it allowed you to gain a larger understanding about the works and keep hold of your attention at the long days at the galleries. I like how we were encouraged to make the presentations simple with five points and keep it as a conversation. Which made it an informal formal presentation which made the nervous public speakers feel more comfortable. On presentation day we walked around the gallery again and listened to everyones presentations, which allowed me to get another perspective on the galleries and continue to change my attitude towards some works.
I enjoyed looking at the Venice Biennale over the Lyon Biennale. Possibly because it was an art overload but i loved how that was a possibility i could reach. I would recommend this course to anybody who is willing and able to participate in. I am an undergrad, Bachelor of Design student majoring in Spatial and Object design. Even though fine art is not my degree, i have always had an appreciation for art and the influence of art has on the world and it’s audience. As i am now at the end of my second year of study, i noticed the comparison between looking at art in Europe before starting my degree and now. As well as noticing the spatial aspects of exhibition curatorial design, as in my degree i recently had to design an exhibition space for UNSW, i found it interesting seeing the different spaces that art and design is exhibited.
However, This course’s only downside is that it isn't available to everyone. It is only available to a small percentage of people who can afford the university course as well as the additional course costs. You pay for the university course as well as Transport, course, accomodation and living. This is a large expense to the average person, i think that the university would benefit if they offered the expenses within the course fee’s and a scholarship towards the course. The other positive but also negative for some, is that you must have your WAM at a high mark, i think this is a positive because it allows intellectual conversations and the willingness to learn. As well as i found the combination of undergrad and postgrad students a surprising positive as it allowed different levels of understanding and knowledge which was shared between individuals. Overall, you leave the course with a deep appreciation for analysing art. You have experienced the art cultures in other part of the world which influences your future designs and finally you leave with meeting new likeminded people who share this amazing experience with.

Day 2, Musée d’art Contemporain
Today we walked through the beautiful park in Lyon, arrived at Musée d’art contemporain. This museum consisted of a group of rooms with process art. Renêe Lee’s artwork “Mia”, had the largest impact in the museum. Lee transforms the space with architecture in paint and pigments to create a bold and vibrant environment. Her paintings are a process with no plan to outcome. Practicing with spray paint, paint in fluorescent pinks and yellows with deep blues. Lee has created an immersive installation with augments the audiences reality and perspective of the museum constructs of the white room. This allows the audience to interact with the works in an inviting way.
The museum is separated into levels, the works of Daniel Dewar and Gregory Gicquel titled “Mammalian Fantasies”. The works are of the artists long standing examination of man by the beastiary imagery. These works are all natural wood carvings, emblematic of the ancient carvings but with a futuristic element. The works are painstakingly manufactured with their primary subjects of the masculine body. This is used as a motif to multiply and blend into a mass, these are an element of hallucinatory visions and imagery. However, I think this exhibition only needed one floor.

Yona Lee “Intransit” Speech Notes
Yona Lee's surreal installation at the Lyon Contemporary Art Biennial, 'In Transit' (2019) guides viewers through the vast in-between areas of domestic and public spaces, questioning the structures and systems that pervade our modern society which dictate mobility and control.
- 'In Transit' responds to the architecture of the factory site through the use of line as an experimental developer of space
- Composed of a network of hundreds of meters of stainless-steel pipes that are meticulously cut, bent and assembled into linear structures that respond to their environment
- Her choice of materiality is inspired by the pipes used as barriers and handrails to mitigate traffic flow in urban environments (train stations and airports)
- Lee invites the audience to look further into the objects and spaces surrounding us, particularly two of the most common activities of our time, transit and consumption
- A variety of found objects taken from urban and domestic spaces, such as furniture and decor, are interwoven throughout the structure, demonstrating Lee's interest in everyday surrealism
- seeks out states of entanglement that constitute the freedom and control of materials, objects, networks and the movement of bodies within modernity
- There are a paradox of systems and networks that are both authoritarian and utopian, utilitarian and playful.
- Curatorial premise and Palais de Tokyo
- AGNSW experience
-Nsw- ground accessible, no max numba, Lyon- above, stairs, max of 10. Museum vs warehouse. Encroaching in the white room.
Elevated to unreachable height
Private is usually- above as it is an element of security and has a vantage point
The steel tubes also reflect a depiction of the tram/metro/tube maps

Day 1, Fagor Factory
Today we met at the Fagor Factory, took three metros and walked to get there. I wasn’t feeling very well at the start of the trip. Students got free entry into the 15th Biennale in Lyon, art contemporian. This factory had four sectional rooms, all with a different collective of works. The first room was extremely expansive, had a continuous theme of the impact of the body and movement, mainly the human environment. The layout of the room was a hodge podge of exhibitors and artworks. I don’t think this room was curated to the high extent, the room was open and there was not a direct path to navigate through the artworks. The audience would walk within and even the works as it had no boundaries. The second room was my favourite of them all, it opened up with Minouk Lims, Liquid commune and had two contrasting videos of Lee kit, sketching the weight of idleness and guiltiness and the only non living artists video work by Gustav Metzger, supportive . As well as the Evian Waters by Pamela Rosenkranz, she explores the notions of the impact on the human body. The third space focused on the enviromental impact of humans on the earth. I noted a curiosity of what is the impacts of the works in the warehouse would have on the building in the future, would it leave reminants.
The last room held the artwork by Yona Lee, Intransit. This is the work Katarina and I presented on. This work i was unable to acess as my knee injuries would not allow me to climb the spiral staircase.

Group Presentation- Israeli Pavillion
Went very well! 8/10
We spoke about our individual experiences accompanied by research and exhibition facts
Response to feedback- we did discuss in our preparation if we should respond to the political aspects of the Israel/Palastine Conflict. There was the palastine video that we could of chosen but the content didn’t directly correlate with the political issues. Personally, I thought there was other “risks” and peoples stories that needed to be illuminated more through the exhibition.
Ella, Lewellyn and Katarina
