Biennale Exemplaires 2026
The Biennale Exemplaires is an occasion for exhibiting, showcasing, and highlighting the work produced by students and faculty at French-speaking fine art and design schools. It is also a venue for meeting and exchange, enriched by a symposium aligned with the research priorities of the participating schools. The main exhibition highlights a selection of recent, francophone publications deemed “exemplary”. To expand upon and complement this selection, each school produces a publication in a format of its choice. The biennial also includes satellite events, an exhibition at the Frac Lorraine, a festive evening, and a book fair featuring a selection of independent publishers. The sixth edition of the Biennale Exemplaires united fourteen schools and was held in Metz in March 2026.
The visual identity was designed by Léo Coquet (Institut Page / ÉSAL Metz) using Modula Ribbed (Zuzana Licko, Emigre, 1995) and Drama Grotesque (Rafael Ribas, Poem, 2025).
