The retrospective bringing together over 50 works from the past 25 years
The retrospective bringing together over 50 works from the past 25 years. Often collaborating with specialists in fields such as science, literature, film, music, and architecture, Huyghe's diverse practice includes live situations, exhibitions, films, objects, and drawings. The exhibition emphasizes the living dimension of Huyghe's propositions, which envision the space as a world, evolving according to its own rhythms. Creating what he refers to as "auto-generative systems," the artist constructs a set of conditions and allows events to unfold following their own course. Emergences are indeterminate and exist beyond our presence; animals, machines, objects, and humans become understood as contingent and durational, rather than static, entities. Instead of displaying a selection of objects, the exhibition explores the porosities and the intensities that arise between elements. In search of what the artist has termed a "non-knowledge zone," Huyghe approaches an existing system and creates a speculative proposition: a "what could be." Influences and role-playing are the materials with which he works. (Image: Untitled (Human Mask) (still), 2014. Film. Courtesy the artist)
