Pierre Huyghe
La saison des fêtes, 2010
Pierre Huyghe
Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía
17 March – 31 May 2010
The Palacio de Cristal was inaugurated in 1887 with an exhibition of the flora of the Philippines, at that time Spain's pre eminent colony. Palm trees and indigenous plants of many kinds were installed in a ceremonial layout. In its built form the Palacio de Cristal belongs to the typology of green houses; in its role and functions, however, it can be more closely aligned with Joseph Paxton's Crystal Palace built in 1852 for one of the first world's fairs.
