Atelier Guided Tour | Philippe Parreno Solo Exhibition

Introduction

Organized by the Winsing Arts Foundation, Philippe Parreno’s solo exhibition, currently on view at Winsing Art Place, explores diverse forms of contemporary artistic expression through the lens of relational aesthetics. Featuring six of Parreno’s representative works, the exhibition delves into themes of temporal and spatial dislocation, as well as the blurred boundaries between reality and fiction. In parallel, the Foundation has loaned Pierre Huyghe’s Exomind (Deep Water) to the Taipei Biennial. Both Parreno and Huyghe are key figures in the development of relational aesthetics in the 1990s and have previously collaborated on several works.

To further explore the creative trajectories and key works of the “Double P” duo—Philippe Parreno and Pierre Huyghe—the Winsing Arts Foundation has invited Feng-Rong Hsieh, senior manager at ALIEN Art Centre and former project coordinator for Parreno’s 2017 solo exhibition Synchronicity at Rockbund Art Museum in Shanghai, and Muchi Shaw, Associate Director Asia at the German-based gallery Esther Schipper, which represents both Parreno and Huyghe. This conversation invites participants to reflect on the journey from Winsing Art Place to the Taipei Biennial, considering the relational dynamics between people, space, objects, and one another through expert insights, audience interactions, and the dialogue between artworks and their environments.
