Pierre Huyghe at the Serpentine

This publication is a survey of Pierre Huyghes practice of the last ten years. Seminal works are focused on, along with other works that were developped simultaneously. The first of these, THE HOST AND THE CLOUD (2009-2010), took place on a former museum in paris; UNTILLED (2012), which was developped during documenta (13); AFTER LIFE AHEAD (2017), was conceived in a disused ice rink as part of Skulptur Projekte Münster; UUMWELT (2018), which was installed first at the Serpentine Galleries in London, and later at Luma Arles, is the culmination of a ground-breaking approach to exhibitions. A conversation between Hans Ulrich Obrist, and an essay by Dorothea von Hantelmann, offer a comprehensive discussion of this period. Drawings, diagrams, plans, text and reference images, photographs and fill stills add to over 400 pages and make this an important reference book.Text: Dorothea von Hantelmann, Pierre Huyghe, Hans Ulrich ObristA conversation between Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artist Director of the Serpentine Galleries, and an essay by art historian Dorothea von Hantelmann
