Springtime in September – the defining concept of the Toulouse contemporary art biennial – seems, right now, like an immensely pleasing prospect. At the blustery conclusion of a summer that has been, depending on your predicament or point of view, either a blissful heatwave haze or an unsettling foretaste of the apocalyptic climate to come, there might be few things more attractive than the impossible dream of turning back time, putting the weather in rewind, hitting refresh on spring. Such, it might seem, is the fanciful aspiration of ‘Le Printemps de Septembre’. Under the directorship of veteran curator Christian Bernard, this richly varied biennial once again invites us to share in an autumn-replacing printemps: an abundant flowering of art across a city and its environs – an offer that has, on the face of it, an upbeat, benevolent civic generosity. Art, we might presume, is like spring: with it comes revival, new life, more light. - 九月的春天——图卢兹当代艺术双年展的定义性概念——看起来，现在，像是一个非常令人愉快的前景。根据你的困境或观点，在即将到来的夏天即将到来的狂风暴雨的结束之时，不管是喜庆的热浪阴霾，还是令人不安的末日气候的预感，没有什么事情比倒退时间的不可能的梦想更有吸引力了。天气倒退，在春天打刷新。这样看来，这可能是“九月”的幻想。在资深馆长克里斯蒂安·伯纳德的指导下，这个丰富多彩的两年一度的展览会再次邀请我们分享一个秋天取代的王子们：一个城市及其周边地区艺术的盛开——表面上，这个提议是一个乐观、仁慈的公民慷慨。我们可以想象，艺术就像春天：伴随着复兴，新的生命，更多的光。
