Fire Figure Fantasy

Since its founding in 2014, ICA Miami has established itself as a singular voice in artistic
stewardship with a collection that champions leading emerging and established
artists. Fire Figure Fantasy revolves around important focal points of ICA Miami’s
collection. Artists working in a wide range of mediums, including McArthur Binion,
Lauren Halsey, Rashid Johnson and Martine Syms, draw on conceptualist strategies to
critically explore structures that perpetuate injustice. In works by Andra Ursuța, Louise
Bonnet, Christina Quarles, and Avery Singer, themes of identity, community, and
technology are drawn out through explorations of the body, materiality and form. Works
by Vivian Caccuri, Tau Lewis, Vaughn Spann, and Henry Taylor contend with some of
the most pressing issues of our time, while works by Hernan Bas, Tomm El-Saieh and
Jared McGriff, among others, reflect the artistic production of Miami artists that the
museum has long championed.
