Join ICA Miami in celebrating the exhibition opening of Brazilian artist Laura Lima!

At a pivotal moment in the artist’s practice and a time of heightened international interest in her work, Laura Lima is creating “The Inverse,” a new, site-specific installation for ICA Miami’s Atrium Gallery, marking the Brazilian artist’s first solo American museum exhibition. A conceptual artist who subverts the mediums of performance, sculpture, and painting, Lima subjects the body to juxtapositions with objects and strange rituals that instigate new modes of interaction between work and viewer. The installation for ICA Miami builds on Lima’s previous explorations of the human body and costume to explore perception, social relationships, and everyday human behaviors.
