Since 1996 the 'Biennale d'art contemporain de Cachan' offers a number of different artistic views on our world, but always in our time.
The exhibition is rich also by a number of fine arts represented :
painting, printmaking, photography, video, sculpture and installation art...
The 'Biennale' is also, within our twinning with Wolfenbüttel Lk, an opportunity to express our long time friendship by the attendance of german artists.
In 2012 the photograph Yvonne Salzmann, the artist Bärbel Moré as well as the painter Dieter Jenke brought their works to the exhibition on the theme of alterity, which was the motto of this edition.
The art photograph Yvonne Salzmann came again to Cachan in april 2013 for the first exhibition of a german artist at the 'Orangerie', close to the town hall. That was a way to initiate fine arts exchange between our two communities.
The works of Yvonne Salzmann, mainly black and white, emphasize the link between human and nature, in a very artistic selfie within a rude natural environment.
