LONDON.- This autumn the Serpentine Gallery presents Philippe Parreno’s first solo exhibition in a public institution in the UK. Parreno rose to prominence in the 1990s, earning critical acclaim for his work, which employs a diversity of media including film, sculpture, performance and text. Taking the exhibition as a medium, Parreno has sought to redefine the exhibition experience by exploring its possibilities beyond a collection of individual works.  Parreno’s exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery has been conceived as a scripted space in which a series of events unfolds. The visitor is guided through the Galleries by a timeline of orchestrated sound and image. Noise from Kensington Gardens is heard inside, as though the outside is leaking into the Gallery. The window blinds move automatically to reveal sudden change of weather.
