For Punta della Dogana, French artist Pierre Huyghe will create his largest exhibition ever

From March 17 to November 24, 2024 Punta della Dogana in Venice will host the previously unseen exhibition Pierre Huyghe. Liminal, curated by Anne Stenne. For Punta della Dogana, the French artist will create his largest exhibition ever, transforming the venue into a dynamic medium, a transitory condition where time and space as well as everything that passes through it, visible or invisible, will become an integral part of the artworks.

A central figure in the search for art’s relations with the nonhuman, Pierre Huyghe (Paris, 1962) adopts, from his earliest works, another perspective than the human-inhuman perspective-to let what lies outside our understanding, outside our possibility of experiencing it, emerge. The artist questions our perception of reality and proposes, through the construction of other possible realities, to become strangers to ourselves. His works are conceived as speculative fictions that often reveal themselves to be a union of different forms of intelligence that learn, change and evolve in the course of the exhibition. The exhibition is the place where subjectivities, with or without bodies, are formed, circulating and manifesting unpredictably through the works, which in turn become sentient entities. Thus an unknown language is created, without end, without addressee, which takes possession of voices, gestures, images, and generates new real or fictitious situations.

At the Palazzo della Dogana exhibition, visitors will be able to see a large nucleus of works by Pierre Huyghe, some of them from the Pinault Collection.

The exhibition is presented in partnership with the Leeum Museum of Art in Seoul, which will host a Pierre Huyghe exhibition in February 2025.
