This exhibition is set to take place at Serpentine South from 8 October 2026 until 10 January 2027. It will feature a diverse array of mediums, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, sound, and film. Caguiat’s approach extends beyond the gallery’s interior, utilizing the architecture of Serpentine South to showcase his art.
