Pierre Huyghe - 2017 Nasher Prize Laureate

French artist Pierre Huyghe is the recipient of the 2017 Nasher Prize. In its second year, the Nasher Prize is the most ambitious international award in sculpture, established to honor a living artist who elevates the understanding of sculpture and its possibilities. Pierre Huyghe has profoundly expanded the parameters of sculpture through artworks encompassing a variety of materials and disciplines, bringing cinema, music, and dance into contact with science and philosophy and incorporating time-based elements as diverse as microclimates, ice, rituals, parades, robotics, computer programs, games, dogs, bees, or microorganisms. Huyghe has consistently sought new ways to bring together unconventional and materials into a practice exceeding the sum of its multifarious parts. The works Huyghe creates become in turn evolving worlds that others can walk through, encountering an aggregation of living entities and environments that can range from intellectually provocative to hauntingly beautiful.
