From 8 February to 1 March, Martin Bricelj Barag’s Cyanometer was the guest artist at the 12th Biennale Experimenta, organised by l’Hexagone Scène nationale – Meylan.

The festival took place in several locations and throughout the city of Grenoble and nearby areas
EXPERIMENTA, the Biennale, will take place from 4 February to 1 March 2025 throughout the conurbation of Grenoble and in the Grésivaudan and Voironnais areas. For its 12th edition, l’Hexagone has joined forces with more than thirty partners to offer a diverse range of programming on the theme of water over four weeks. There were exhibitions, installations, performances, a conference and a professional day.

In keeping with the spirit of Hexagone’s national exhibition, EXPERIMENTA, the Biennale showcased the rich cross-fertilisation of art and science, with a particular focus on themes at the intersection of social and environmental issues. EXPERIMENTA interweaves thematic paths throughout its content, reflecting the main issues of its time and place.

On the occasion of the centenary of the International White Coal Exhibition, and in response to the great tensions crystallising over the growing scarcity of this precious element, the 12th edition of the Biennale will put water in the spotlight. Alongside Newton and his fundamental principle of interaction, EXPERIMENTA has also focused on the footprint: the footprint of the individual or the collective on the environment, the carbon footprint and related ecological issues.

The festival hosted the award-winning art and research project Cyanometer. This is the sixth time the project has been hosted abroad (after Wroclaw, London, Dresden, Geneva, Millstadt), and it is permanently installed on the Ajdovščina platform in the centre of Ljubljana.
