AGO and Luminato Festival present Pierre Huyghe’s Untilled (Liegender Frauenakt)

Luminato Festival Site, Hearn Generating Station, 440 Unwin Avenue, June 10-26
On view in Toronto for the first time since its acquisition by the AGO, Untilled (Liegender Frauenakt) daringly extends Huyghe’s long-term interests. On site near the Hearn Generating Station, within a ruined landscape of concrete rubble, weeds and gravel, the artist has placed a statue of a reclining woman, an unremarkable object but for the beehive that entirely obscures her head.

The works of art on view reveal how these international artists navigate the complexities of contemporary life, while also asking us to consider the diverse textures of present-day experience, the lingering effects of the past and the challenges we face in creating more equitable societies
