Join the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami for a cocktail reception celebrating the opening of its newest summer exhibitions, highlighting the creative output of artists at vastly different stages in their careers, each of whom innovatively approaches gender, identity, politics and the role of the artist. Admission is free with RSVP.
Three exhibitions will open concurrently: Ida Applebroog, who has influenced generations of artists, will be represented through historic never-before-seen drawings from the 1970s alongside a selection of recent work; emerging artist Renaud Jerez will create a new site-specific installation for his US solo debut; and Susan Te Kahurangi King’s debut solo museum presentation will be the first comprehensive survey of the work of the self-taught New Zealander. Also on view is “The Inverse” by Laura Lima, marking the first American solo museum presentation of work by the renowned Brazilian conceptual artist.
ICA Miami’s summer exhibitions provide a critical platform for audiences to experience the work of three of the most compelling artists practicing today. Taken individually, the exhibitions provide new insight into the creative output of Susan and Renaud, as well as a re-contextualization of the iconic Ida Applebroog. Considered together, their diverse yet complementary practices demonstrate unexpected formal affinities and shared motives. All summer exhibitions are on view through October 30, 2016.
