ICA Miami presents the first comprehensive museum survey of American/Dutch artist Sterling Ruby.
The exhibition features over 100 works that demonstrate the relationship between material transformation in Ruby’s practice and the ...rapid evolution of contemporary culture, institutions, and labor. Spanning more than two decades of the artist’s career, the exhibition features an array of works created in various mediums, from his renowned ceramics and paintings to lesser-known drawings and installations.
Since his earliest works, Ruby has investigated the role of the artist as an outsider. Critiquing the structures of modernism and traditional institutions, Ruby addresses the repressed underpinnings of American culture and the coding of power and violence. Craft is central to his inquiry, as he explores traditions from Amish quilt-making to California’s radical ceramics tradition, shaped by his upbringing in Pennsylvania Dutch country.
“Sterling Ruby” is co-presented with the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston (ICA/Boston) and is accompanied by an illustrated scholarly catalogue edited by Alex Gartenfeld and Eva Respini, with an interview by Isabelle Graw.
Sterling Ruby (b. 1972, American/Dutch) has presented solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2008); Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Italy (2008–2009); Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Rome (2013); and Baltimore Museum of Art, Maryland (2014); and the Belvedere, Vienna (2016); among others.

Paulo Nazareth: Melee
Special Exhibition / 2nd Floor
ICA Miami presents “Melee,” the first solo US museum exhibition ...for Paulo Nazareth. An artist who works across mediums, Nazareth uses performance and sculpture—monumental and ephemeral—to critique the colonial experience in Brazil and the Americas. His durational performances and installations draw from his joint African and Indigenous heritage to highlight marginalized historical legacies, non-Western cosmovisions, and potential methods of nonexploitative living and relating.
For his exhibition at ICA Miami, Paulo Nazareth will present a series of commissions that consider an alternative political history of Latin America, emphasizing its marginalized protagonists. Additionally Nazareth will exhibit a series of works he has been developing in recent years. His drawings and photographs, “Blacks in the Pool,” explore the history of discrimination against and segregation of Black bodies throughout the Americas, and in particular how these practices have often emerged around public swimming pools. The exhibition will include an installation that revisits Nazareth’s project The Red Inside (2018), which was first generated for Prospect New Orleans, and involved following the route of the Underground Railroad all the way to Canada and casting watermelons—sacred fruits in certain African contexts—using clay drawn from the Mississippi River.
Paulo Nazareth (b. 1977, Governador Valadares, Brazil) is one of Brazil’s most compelling emerging artists. He lives in Belo Horizonte and works throughout the world. Nazareth has had solo exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; Museu de Arte de São Paulo; and Tanzhaus NRW, Dusseldorf. He has participated in group exhibitions at Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin; Museum Folkwang, Essen; Musée d’art contemporain de Lyon; Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin; and the New Museum, New York. He has participated in numerous important international exhibitions, including Prospect New Orleans, the Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art, and the Venice Biennale.

Jun 27 – Nov 24, 2019
Guadalupe Maravilla: Portals
Ground Floor / Janice and Alan Lipton Gallery
“Portals” marks the first solo museum project for New York– and Richmond-based multidisciplinary artist Guadalupe Maravilla ...(b. San Salvador, El Salvador). An installation comprising newly commissioned sculptures, “Portals” responds to the artist’s geo-cultural displacement and personal mythology, referencing his own story as part of the first wave of undocumented children to arrive in the United States due to the Central American conflicts of the 1980s. While touching on this personal dimension, “Portals” also addresses current collective anxieties that stem from the fraught political crisis at the United States-Mexico border.
“Portals” features a group of powerfully sculptural, wearable headdresses that incorporate gongs used in vibrational therapy. These objects, activated through a series of participatory performances, will transform the gallery into a therapeutic instrument intended to cleanse unseen political phobias. As the artist reminds us, the human body is mostly made of water and responds to vibrations caused by sound. The sounds produced in “Portals” will affect the viewer’s nervous system, operating as a healing vibrational treatment that washes away anxieties and breaks up blockages.
Maravilla is currently assistant professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond. He has exhibited his work and performed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Performa 13, New York; Nicaragua Biennial, Managua; El Museo del Barrio, New York; Socrates Sculpture Park, Long Island City; New Museum, New York; La Mama Gallery, New York; Hudson Valley MOCA, Peekskill, New York; Exit Art, New York; Rush Arts Gallery, New York; Bronx River Art Center; Jersey City Museum; Centro Cultural de España, Mexico City; Museum of Art of El Salvador, San Salvador; Saud Haus, Berlin; and the Caribbean Museum, Barranquilla, Colombia.

Using commonplace materials, monumental scale, and poetic form, Robert Grosvenor (b. 1937, New York) has produced some of the most radically unique sculptures of the postwar period. His works maintain ...a rich historical dialogue with Minimalism while transcending some of its limitations. Complex and allusive, the sculptures also engage site in unexpected ways, provoking profound aesthetic experiences.
Grosvenor held his first exhibition in 1965 at Park Place Gallery, New York, which he founded with Mark di Suvero. Already at this time, he was generating bold sculptures that challenged the limitations of the medium. At ICA Miami, Grosvenor will, for the first time in more than fifty years, recreate one of his most iconic early works, Untitled (1968). A folded plane made of steel and painted wood and suspended in space, Untitled hovers above the viewer like a giant, abstract architectural canopy, creating a vital tension between its monumental scale and heft and the lightness suggested by its suspension.
Grovesnor lives and works in New York and the Florida Keys. His work has been included in seminal exhibitions worldwide, including “Primary Structures” at the Jewish Museum, New York, in 1966, and “Minimal Art” at Den Haag Gementemuseum in 1968. Solo exhibitions of his work have been held at the Kunsthalle Bern; Renaissance Society, Chicago; MoMA PS1, Long Island City, New York; and the Serralves Foundation, Porto. Grosvenor’s work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Storm King Art Center, New Windsor, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the Serralves Museum, Porto, among many others.

Special Exhibition / 3rd Floor
“Ettore Sottsass and the Social Factory” surveys the work of Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass, ...focusing on his monumental furniture, conceptual photography, and speculative drawings.
The first in ICA Miami’s design series dedicated to showcasing the important overlap of art, design, and ideas, “Ettore Sottsass and the Social Factory” connects Sottsass’s production to momentous postwar economic and social changes, proposing that his objects both contributed to and deeply reflect the historical moment in which they are embedded.
A seminal figure of postwar thinking, Ettore Sottsass (b. 1917, Innsbruck, Austria; d. 2007, Milan) redefined how design impacts modern life. In his approach to manufacture and aesthetics, Sottsass influenced his peers and generations of cultural producers.
This exhibition is organized by ICA Miami and curated by Alex Gartenfeld, Artistic Director, and Gean Moreno, Curator of Programs.
Eric-Paul Riege: Hólǫ́—it xistz
Ground Floor / Ray Ellen and Allan Yarkin Gallery
“Hólǫ́—it xistz” marks the first solo museum project ...for Eric-Paul Riege. Working across media, with an emphasis on woven sculpture, wearable art, and durational performance, Riege explores the worldview fostered by Diné, or Navajo, philosophy and its bearing on everyday experience.
For “Hólǫ́—it xistz,” Riege has produced a group of weavings that use myth and storytelling to propose spaces of refuge. In the Diné language, hólǫ́ means “to exist.” For Riege, these weavings, which pay homage and link him to generations of women weavers in his family, exist as living things that aid him in generating sanctuary spaces. Hanging from looms, the weavings create an immersive and charged space influenced by ceremonial sites and dwellings, such as the traditional hogan made of logs and mud. Riege has also produced a piece of regalia that he will wear during durational performances scheduled throughout the run of the show.
Eric-Paul Riege (Diné) (b. 1994, Na’nízhoozhí, Gallup, New Mexico) holds a BFA from the University of New Mexico. His work has been exhibited in the SITElines.2018 Biennial at Site Santa Fe.
This exhibition is organized by ICA Miami and curated by Gean Moreno, Curator of Programs. This exhibition is presented in the Ray Ellen and Allan Yarkin Gallery, ICA Miami’s space dedicated to providing a platform for emerging and under-recognized artists from around the world early in their careers.

The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami presents “Judy Chicago: A Reckoning,” a major survey of works by the pioneering feminist artist. This exhibition highlights Chicago’s iconographic transition from abstraction to ...figuration, and explores the ways in which the artist’s strong feminist voice transforms our understanding of modernism and its traditions.
Representing the female voice in a male-dominated world, Chicago explores important narratives of history, form and labor. The artist deploys both iconography and working methods in order to problematize gender roles, artistic mastery and skills traditionally regarded as “female” such as needlework and embroidery, as well as stereotypical “male” skills, such as auto body painting and pyrotechnics.
Judy Chicago (b. 1939, Chicago) is an artist, author, feminist, educator, and intellectual whose career spans over five decades. Her influence both within and beyond the art community is attested to by her inclusion in hundreds of publications throughout the world. Her art has been frequently exhibited in the US as well as in Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. In addition, a number of the books she has authored have been published in foreign editions, bringing her art and philosophy to readers worldwide.
“Judy Chicago: A Reckoning” is organized by Alex Gartenfeld, Artistic Director, and Stephanie Seidel, Associate Curator.[+] Show More

William N. Copley:
The Coffin They Carry You Off In
Ground Floor
“William N. Copley: The Coffin They Carry You Off In” presents a group of paintings from 1956 to 1958 highlighting the ...artist’s critical yet humorous perspective on both European and American culture.
An autodidact, William N. Copley (b. 1919, New York; d. 1996 Key West, Florida) came to painting following and alongside his famed work as a gallerist and collector of Surrealist works. A crucial connecting figure between Surrealism and Pop art, Copley developed a unique style and iconography that made use of cartoonlike motifs—reduced, simple figures depicted with thick black brushstrokes and flat coloring, most often men in bowler hats and female nudes—to critically and humorously explore topics including nationalism, eroticism, and art history.
From 1951 to 1962 Copley lived in a house in Longpont-sur-Orge near Paris. By this time, Copley Galleries, which he directed in Los Angeles, had met an economically disastrous end, but had nonetheless premiered Surrealism in the city and connected Copley to many artists, including Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, René Magritte, and Man Ray. The experience ultimately inspired Copley to become an artist himself; he recalled receiving this spare encouragement from Duchamp: “You should continue painting.”
“William N. Copley: The Coffin They Carry You Off In” gathers works from the artist’s first exhibition in New York, “Paintings by William Copley” (Alexander Iolas Gallery, 1958), as well as examples of his earliest work. Revelatory paintings such as Birdshot (1958) from ICA Miami’s permanent collection and the eponymous The Coffin They Carry You Off In (1957) introduce Copley’s distinct style: cutout and silhouetted paintings in bold colors that demonstrate his interests in history, art history, and the expatriate experience of France. Motifs include the guillotine, Édouard Manet’s 1863 painting Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe (The Luncheon on the Grass), and the Dachshund, in styles that meld French Surrealism and American Pop art.[+] Show More

Special Exhibition
“Sondra Perry: Typhoon coming on” examines the artist’s innovative use of video, media, installation and performance to create powerful narratives ...that explore the intersection of black identity, digital culture and power.
Sondra Perry (b. 1986, Perth Amboy, New Jersey) is an interdisciplinary artist who works with video, computer-based media and performance to explore the digital abstraction of identity. Her videos and performances foreground the tools of digital production as a way to critically reflect on new technologies of representation and to remobilize their potential. Her work revolves around blackness and black American history and ways in which technology shapes identity, often with her own personal history as a point of departure.
‘Sondra Perry: Typhoon coming on’ was initiated by the Serpentine Galleries and curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Amira Gad. For its presentation at ICA Miami, the exhibition is curated by Alex Gartenfeld, Artistic Director, and Stephanie Seidel, Associate Curator, with Amanda Morgan, Curatorial Assistant.[+] Show More

Louise Bourgeois
Ground Floor
Taking its departure from a work by Louise Bourgeois in ICA Miami’s permanent collection–Untitled (2001)–this exhibition highlights a group of iconic sculptures ...made of clothing and fabric from the artist’s personal archive.
At the center of this presentation are four sculptures made from a pink fur coat that was given to Bourgeois in the late 1990s by her gallerist Robert Miller. The artist cut the material and sutured it into seven stuffed heads. Bourgeois considered the heads to be depictions of various emotional states, intensified through the sensual and referential qualities of the fabric.
One of the most important female artists of the twentieth century, Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911, Paris; d. 2010, New York) critically engaged with the topics of gender, sexuality, and domesticity across mediums and tirelessly challenged social power and hierarchies. Especially in the last two decades of her nearly seventy-year career, the artist created numerous emotionally charged fabric works that unravel personal references and memories. These works encompass large-scale installations, drawings, and collages, as well as a group of sculptures depicting human heads and torsos. Intimately scaled, these works poignantly make visual the psychologically charged themes that run through Bourgeois’s work. In 2008 Bourgeois wrote: “We must talk about the passivity and activity of the coming and going of clothes in one’s life. When I come upon a piece of clothing you wonder, who was I trying to seduce by wearing that? Or you open your closet and you are confronted with so many different roles, smells, social situations.”
