Conceived of as a history and geography manual in the form of a game, the 2007 Lyon Biennial is inviting sixty-six Players from all over the world, distributed in two circles. Forty-nine of them (curators, art critics...) are being asked to answer the following question: "Who, in your opinion, is the artist who best represents this decade?" A second circle is composed of nineteen other Players - mostly artists - each devising a program, a system or a problematics intended to define the decade in progress.
