Wednesday 5 July 2006, 18.30–20.00

Since the early 1990s, Pierre Huyghe has created a variety of art works and collaborative projects that explore reality and fiction, memory and history.

Well known for his ambitiously staged videos and large-scale installations that incorporate film, sculpture, sound and architecture, Huyghe’s works include a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window (1954) – made in a Parisian suburb with a cast of amateur actors – and a journey to the Antarctic to explore the notion of exploration itself.

Huyghe discusses his work with Mark Godfrey, critic and lecturer at the Slade School of Fine Art.

The talk is followed by Out of Mind, the first of two evenings of comedy in the Tate Modern Café.

Tate Modern  Starr Auditorium
