Lives and works in Paris, France.

Per Hüttner is a Swedish artist who uses curation as integrated part in his artistic practice, but has chosen to refute the title curator since his interest in questions related to curation lies purely in attempting to rephrase what the role of the artist could and should be.
In his artistic practice Hüttner investigates how change in our lives reveals  human vulnerability. He does so by putting himself in vulnerable positions in public places and has through long research found that approaching questions of curation is a formidable way of doing so. The aim with his artistic practice is that art will become life and not a representation thereof.

Hüttner was a co-founder and co-director at Konstakuten gallery in Stockholm 1996-2001 and founder and director of The Hood Gallery in Los Angeles 2002-2003. Important solo exhibitions include "I am a Curator" at Chisenhale Gallery in London, "Repetitive Time" at Göteborgs konstmuseum and "Xiao Yao You" at Guangdong Museum of Art in Guangzhou.
