Pierre Huyghe: In. Border. Deep, through 1 November at Hauser & Wirth
Pierre Huyghe brings his affecting, time-travelling sensory aesthetic to Hauser & Wirth with a show of all new works that include a series of aquariums that replicate the conditions of Monet’s ponds in Giverny, and the short film Human Mask, 2014, in which the activities of a monkey in a mask evokes a feeling of dystopian loss that’s as eerily poignant as it is powerful.
Shinro Ohtake, 12 October through 12 December at Parasol Unit

Through the use of costumed choreography and elaborate props, this newly commissioned feature-length-film installation, by the London-based artist, and which was inspired by Schwindt’s leftwing upbringing in 1980s and 90s Germany, explores what freedom, within the context of political and social structures, actually means.
Philippe Parreno: With a Rhythmic Instinction to Be Able to Travel Beyond Existing Forces of Life: 14 October through 14 November at Pilar Corrias
