The Prairies in Autumn<br />
Bruno Caron, presi<strong>de</strong>nt of Art Norac<br />
Three things are new for <strong>the</strong> third <strong>Ateliers</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Rennes</strong>:<br />
Editorials<br />
- A new team. Lucidar, un<strong>de</strong>r <strong>the</strong> lea<strong>de</strong>rship of Anne Bonnin, Is responsible for <strong>the</strong> artistic<br />
programme as well as practical organisation of <strong>the</strong> event.<br />
- A new location. The main exhibitions will be shared between <strong>the</strong> new FRAC Bretagne<br />
headquarters and <strong>the</strong> Newway Mabilais. The Newway Mabilais is a major architectural<br />
landmark in <strong>the</strong> cityscape of <strong>Rennes</strong>.<br />
- New dates. After two biennials in <strong>the</strong> spring, this edition will run from September to<br />
December.<br />
Some changes, but <strong>the</strong> spirit of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Ateliers</strong> <strong>de</strong> <strong>Rennes</strong> remains <strong>the</strong> same: a <strong>de</strong>sire to bring<br />
before a wi<strong>de</strong> audience a meeting of art and business, <strong>the</strong> public sector (Greater <strong>Rennes</strong>) and<br />
<strong>the</strong> private sector (Art Norac).<br />
The Biennale will present <strong>the</strong> relationship between art and business, and cooperation<br />
between <strong>the</strong> public and private sectors, particularly <strong>Rennes</strong> Métropole and Art Norac, to a<br />
wi<strong>de</strong> audience. In addition to this, several contemporary art galleries and organisations are<br />
linked to <strong>the</strong> event through <strong>the</strong>ir exhibitions.<br />
This year’s artistic programme is inspired by <strong>the</strong> multifaceted concept of <strong>the</strong> pioneer. <strong>Les</strong><br />
Prairies (<strong>the</strong> Prairies - title of this Biennale) are throwing open to exhibition visitors all <strong>the</strong><br />
potential of <strong>the</strong>ir vast expanses.<br />
