The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, is hosting a solo exhibition by French artist Marguerite Humeau. The exhibition, titled *‘sk/ey-’*, explores metamorphosis and transformation in a post-human context, inspired by ancient Proto-Indo-European language.
It features newly commissioned sculptures and video installations that create an immersive experience, reflecting on the profound impacts of climate change and humanity’s potential evolution. The works merge mythology, science, and speculative futures to challenge viewers' perceptions of human existence and its possibilities.
Marguerite Humeau is renowned for her experimental approach, which intertwines art, design, and speculative thinking. Her works are often characterized by their narrative depth, informed by her research into archaeology, biology, and linguistics.
Humeau has exhibited internationally in institutions like Tate Britain and Palais de Tokyo, earning acclaim for her ability to transform academic and scientific concepts into compelling visual narratives. Her art frequently reimagines ancient myths and future scenarios, evoking a dialogue between the past, present, and future.
Another noteworthy exhibition at ICA is “Lucy Bull: The Garden of Forking Paths|, the artist's first solo museum exhibition in the United States, showcasing 20 recent works by Bull, spanning from 2019 to 2024.
Known for her vibrant abstract paintings, Bull's art engages the viewer's senses through dynamic compositions that shift between the macroscopic and microscopic. The exhibition also features a monumental 39-foot-tall stairwell commission that will remain on display until September 2025.
Drawing on influences from surrealism, organic forms, and color theory, Bull crafts visual experiences that shift and evolve with prolonged observation. With a career rooted in Los Angeles, she has garnered significant attention for her ability to transform abstract compositions into highly visceral and psychological spaces, pushing the limits of contemporary abstraction.
ICA Miami is a cornerstone of Miami's vibrant contemporary art scene, committed to fostering experimentation and advancing new narratives in art. The museum is celebrated for its robust program of solo exhibitions and its dedication to showcasing emerging and established artists from around the globe.
