Fondation Beyeler presents Pierre Huyghe's first Swiss museum solo show

exhibition · 2026-05-25

Fondation Beyeler in Riehen, Switzerland, is hosting the first solo museum exhibition in Switzerland dedicated to Pierre Huyghe (born 1962, Paris). The show, opening this summer, includes new works, recent films, and selected earlier pieces. Huyghe, known for challenging conventional exhibition formats, participated in Documenta 13 (2012) and Skulptur Projekte Münster (2017). His practice creates exhibitions as speculative fictions where life forms, technology, and matter continuously evolve. The exhibition is conceived as a site-specific experience, with works forming ambiguous thresholds. The show combines moving images and shifting installations.
