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.
“Philippe Parreno’s exhibition very moderately mobilizes the senses beyond the visual experience.”— Feng-Rong Hsieh, Senior Manager of ALIEN Art Centre
“Both Parreno and Huyghe’s work explores the topic of time, and they also emphasize the dialogue between works, the exhibition space, and viewers.”—Muchi Shaw, Associate Director, Asia, Esther Schipper
The expert-led tour of Philippe Parreno’s solo exhibition, organized by the Winsing Arts Foundation, has successfully concluded. We sincerely thank all participants who joined us on this thought-provoking journey—from Winsing Art Place to the Taipei Biennial at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum—guided by Feng-Rong Hsieh, Senior Manager of ALIEN Art Centre, and Muchi Shaw, Associate Director, Asia at the German-based gallery Esther Schipper. Together, we gradually dived into the artistic worlds of Philippe Parreno and Pierre Huyghe.
Feng-Rong Hsieh, who previously served as the project coordinator for Parreno’s exhibition at the Rockbund Art Museum in Shanghai, gave a compelling talk about his collaboration with the artist and offered deep insights into his creative concepts. Muchi Shaw also delivered an in-depth interpretation of Parreno’s key works featured at Winsing Art Place, and guided the audience through a professional reading of Pierre Huyghe’s Exomind (Deep Water), currently on view at the Taipei Biennial.
