Born in 1962 in Paris, France, Pierre Huyghe creates art that spans diverse media, including film, site-specific works, sculpture, and situations. His works are conceived as speculative fiction and often present themselves as continuity between a wide range of intelligent forms, biological, technological, tangible inert matter that learn, modify and evolve. Huyghe has held solo exhibitions at major international art institutions, such as the Punta della Dogana in Venice, the Serpentine Gallery in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and Tate Modern in London. He is the recipient of numerous awards and accolades, including the Hugo Boss Prize in 2002 and the Nasher Prize for sculptures in 2017.
