Reader criticizes Pierre Huyghe exhibition at Centre Pompidou, praises Claude Simon show

A reader of Art Press critiques the Pierre Huyghe retrospective at Centre Pompidou, describing it as confusing and unconvincing, while praising the smaller Claude Simon exhibition. The reader spent little time in the large Huyghe show, finding the succession of scenes and works to be a caricature of contemporary art proposals. She specifically criticizes the presence of a white dog with a pink-painted leg, arguing it appears distressed and captive, contradicting the exhibition's claim that it restores rights to animal life. In contrast, she found the Claude Simon exhibition, though cramped in a corner of the Bibliothèque Publique d'Information, compelling due to a beautiful interview with Réa Simon and an interview with Claude Simon by Éric Rohmer. She questions why Simon, a major writer attentive to visual arts, receives such limited space compared to Huyghe. Art Press responds that it will cover the Huyghe exhibition in a future issue.
