For his very first retrospective in France, contemporary artist Pierre Huyghe will be at the Centre Pompidou from September 25, 2013 to January 6, 2014.
Born in Paris in 1962, Pierre Huyghe lives and works between Paris and New York. A graduate of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, his work quickly redefined the status of the work and its format. His works are sometimes superimposed, giving them the form of a diary, a journey or an idealized garden calendar. Pierre Huyghe is constantly seeking to invent real, living situations through which to intensify presence and vitality. He doesn’t seek to define the relationship between subjects, but rather to invent the conditions in which porosity, flow and indeterminacy emerge. What interests him is intensifying presence, finding its own presentation, its own appearance, rather than subjecting it to pre-established models.
This retrospective will offer a completely new reading of Pierre Huyghe’s work. The exhibition will showcase some fifty of his projects, providing an insight into a body of work and research that has been unfolding for over twenty years. It aims to convey the living, organic dimension of the artist’s proposals, which see the exhibition space as a world in itself, unorchestrated and living according to its own rhythms.
