Pierre Huyghe
Artist
Pierre Huyghe is an artist based in Santiago. For Huyghe, the exhibition is an entity whose time and space, in which it appears, are constituents of its manifestation. His works are conceived as speculative fiction, and often present themselves as a form of continuity between a wide range of intelligent life forms — biological, technological and tangible inert matter that learn, modify and evolve. They are permeable, contingent and often indifferent to witnesses.
Huyghe’s recent exhibitions include Liminal, Punta della Dogana – Pinault Collection, Venice (2024) and Leeum, Seoul (2025); Chimera, EMMA, Espoo (2023); Variants, Kistefos Museum, Jevnaker (2022); After UUmwelt, Luma Foundation, Arles (2021); UUmwelt, Serpentine Gallery, London (2018); After ALife Ahead, Skulptur Projekte Münster (2017); and The Roof Garden, Metropolitan Museum, New York (2015). In 2012, his work Untilled was one of the most critically acclaimed contributions to dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel.
In 2013, a retrospective of Pierre Huyghe’s work at Centre Pompidou travelled to the Ludwig Museum, Cologne and LACMA, Los Angeles. In 2019, Huyghe was appointed Artistic Director of Okayama Art Summit: If the Snake.
