‘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.’ - ICA MIAMI
