Inaugurated on 12 June 2022, <em>Variants <\/em>was commissioned by the <strong>Kistefos Museum<\/strong> in Jevnaker, Norway. There, in the damp, mossy forest, 60 km from Oslo, the 62-year-old French artist produced a <em>\u201cmultipolar entity,\u201d<\/em> as his studio calls it, that reacts to the geochemical and biological events taking place in its host environment, which it both simulates and parasites. A fiction in the making, it is a story waiting to unfold, one whose axioms are established in terms of scanned forests, real-time generation, unpredictable mutations, intelligent cameras, and environmental sensors, with no way of knowing what fortuitous alliances might be forged with other micro- organisms. Since then, it has continued to transform itself with all the impassivity of any other organism on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Journalists and critics have struggled to find words to describe this fertile, perverse soil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Journalists and critics have struggled to find words to describe this fertile, perverse soil, because conventional language for talking about art no longer seems to fit. Neither artwork, nor exhibition, nor performance, it\u2019s not quite an installation either. So what is it? Perhaps we must look for answers in the internal genealogy of <strong>Huyghe<\/strong>\u2019s more recent projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019, as artistic director of the <strong>Triennial Okayama Art Summit<\/strong>, he oversaw <em>IF THE SNAKE<\/em>, an exhibition that followed a similar principle. Borrowing the name and notion of a <em>\u201cliving entity\u201d,<\/em> it was composed of chemical and algorithmic processes, with different forms of intelligent life working <em>\u201cin cooperation.\u201d<\/em> In France, <strong>Huyghe<\/strong>\u2019s last process-based work was probably <em>After UUmwelt<\/em>, which was shown at <strong>the Luma Foundation<\/strong> in 2021\u201322.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The artist\u2019s first exhibition on Gallic soil following his <strong>Centre Pompidou<\/strong> retrospective in 2013\u201314, it was the sequel to the 2018 <em>UUmwelt <\/em>at London\u2019s <strong>Serpentine Gallery<\/strong>, where, on LED screens, mental images were shown that had been produced via a neural interface which captured a brain\u2019s activity as it thought about prehistoric tools or works of art. In Arles, the images reacted in real time to the visitors\u2019 presence and to climate variations, bees, ants, and bacteria, turning the exhibition into a \u201cco-production between humans and artificial intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>\u201cCycles can be identified in Pierre Huyghe\u2019s works, even though there\u2019s always a common exploration,<\/em>\u201d \u2014 Anne Stenne<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burn your textbooks, unlearn your languages: all these situations must be experienced IRL; if not, you\u2019ll have to resign yourself to making them up on your own. Although now, there\u2019s a new opportunity to see for yourself. In <strong>Venice<\/strong>, <strong>the Pinault Collection\u2013Punta della Dogana<\/strong> is hosting <em>Liminal<\/em>, an impressive and extensive carte-blanche show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cCycles can be identified in Pierre Huyghe\u2019s works, even though there\u2019s always a common exploration,\u201d<\/em> explains <strong>Anne Stenne<\/strong>, director of his studio and curator of his latest project. <em>\u201cVariants is the culmination of a whole branch of his thinking about the idea of contingency, with works that are self-generating and contaminate reality with other possibilities.\u201d<\/em> This particular cycle, the one that ends in order for the next one to begin,should undoubtedly begin with&nbsp;<em>Untitled<\/em>&nbsp;at <strong>Documenta 13<\/strong> in Kassel in 2012.
