Using the landscape around him as both subject and medium,
Doug Aitken creates works that illuminate how we experience the world.
Though he works in an array of media, including photography,
video, sound, and sculpture, he is best known for his installations
that intervene on public spaces.

DAVID SHRIGLEY
David Shrigley finds meaning in
snippets of text and overheard
conversations. His crude and
cartoonish ink drawings, usually
exhibited salon-style, recall pages
from the sketchbook of a cheeky
adolescent.

PIERRE HUYGHE
Pierre Huyghe says that life is the
core interest of his practice:
“I’m interested in how to quantify
the different variations of being
alive…how to intensify the presence
of things.” Many of his performance,
film, and installation pieces employ
a range of living creatures — insects,
plants, animals, and human beings—
in order to explore their behavior and
interactions.
