new rituals interview and photography by OLIVIER ZAHM portrait by MARLENE MARINO photography by ANDREA ROSSETTI One of the most unpredictable, enigmatic, and intellectually rigorous artists on the scene today, Frenchman Philippe Parreno first gained recognition for his collaborations with artists of his generation, including Douglas Gordon, Liam Gillick, and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster. Early on, he based his aesthetic stance on the exhibition as art form, and he has stuck to it without compromise. By transcending any single category and including many, from performance to multimedia installations to cinema, Parreno has since won considerable international recogntion with groundbreaking exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo (2013-14), the Park Avenue Armory (2015), and Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan (2015-16). With each, he revealed the amplitude and force of his unique interpretation of dystopian reality through sensory perception. His next exhibition opens in the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern in October 2016. [caption id=”attachment_218133″…
