Philippe Parreno to Create Tate Modern's 2016 Turbine Hall Installation
Philippe Parreno has been selected for Tate Modern's 2016 Turbine Hall commission, with his new work scheduled for unveiling on October 4. The French artist, described by Tate as a key figure of his generation, is known for exploring boundaries between reality and fiction while redefining exhibition experiences. This marks the second commission since sponsorship shifted from Unilever to Hyundai. Meanwhile, Abraham Cruzvillegas's current Turbine Hall installation 'Empty Lot' continues through April 3, featuring raised planters containing found earth. ArtReview recently noted the progress of the vegetation in Cruzvillegas's work. The announcement was made on January 28, 2016.
