    About This Event

    Pierre Huyghe presents UUmwelt at MoMA Exhibitions, bringing his multidisciplinary practice—films, sculptures, public interventions and living systems—into the museum context. Known for blurring boundaries between art and ecology, Huyghe, who lives and works in Santiago de Chile, assembles works that interrogate environments and time, foregrounding living processes alongside constructed forms.

    About UUmwelt

    UUmwelt is presented as a live, in-gallery event within MoMA Exhibitions in New York City, with Pierre Huyghe among the featured artists. The work draws on the vocabulary of exhibition-making while treating the museum as an active environment rather than a neutral container. It belongs to a strand of contemporary art in NYC that tests how images, bodies, and systems co-produce meaning in real time. Its most pointed move is its refusal to settle into a stable narrative, asking viewers to track changes instead of conclusions.
