Pierre Huyghe Reveals 19 Artists for 2019 Okayama Art Summit Biennial

Pierre Huyghe has announced the lineup for the 2019 Okayama Art Summit, which he's overseeing. This biennial event will be held in Okayama, Japan, from September 27 to November 24. Unlike the first edition in 2016, which had thirty artists and was curated by Liam Gillick along with Huyghe, this year features a more selective group of nineteen artists. The theme is IF THE SNAKE, and the exhibition promises to be a dynamic, evolving experience that reflects Huyghe’s unique artistic approach. While specifics about its structure are limited, organizers suggest it will act like a living entity, delving into various processes and forms of intelligent life. Artists involved include Tarek Atoui, Matthew Barney, and more.
