Marguerite Humeau: \*sk\*/ey-
Dec 3 – Mar 30, 2025
ICA Miami presents “\*sk\*/ey-,” a major solo exhibition for artist Marguerite Humeau (b. 1986, France; lives in London) comprising newly commissioned sculptures and video. The immersive installation marks Humeau’s first large-scale institutional presentation in the United States and sees the artist experiment with form through the abstract narratives of alternative worlds. Informed by the menace of climate change, these new sculptures pollinate, blossom, and armor, proposing a potentially inevitable mode of living, a post-human existence in which nomadic beings live in the air and are in perpetual motion.

Lucy Bull: The Garden of Forking Paths
Dec 3 – Mar 30, 2025
Lucy Bull’s first U.S. museum exhibition choreographs energetic gestures into eruptive fields of pictorial activity through a dynamic application of paint. Exuberant colors and elusive forms, reference and atmosphere, density and transparency are in constant tension. A singular voice in contemporary abstract painting, Bull’s dynamic practice explores the formal and experiential concerns of the medium.

Ding Shilun: Janus
Dec 3 – Mar 30, 2025
The first solo U.S. museum exhibition for Ding Shilun (b. 1998, Guangzhou, China) “Ding Shilun: Janus” debuts a group of newly commissioned works that build from the theme of a “personal fable.” The artist creates enigmatic, seductive, and at times violent paintings that draw inspiration from art history, Chinese folklore, Manga, and everyday life. The results are ethereal and unexpectedly ominous narrative paintings whose idiosyncratic mythologies reflect the artist’s experience. Shilun’s interdisciplinary practice begins with drawing and sculpture and culminates in painting. At ICA Miami, the artist creates worlds that move across mediums, including a site-responsive installation.
Reception attendees will also enjoy two other exhibitions, Keiichi Tanaami: Memory Collage and Crossroads: Rubem Valentim’s 1960s, both open Nov 21 – Mar 30, 2025.
