Andrea Hernández Briceño: Fire Becomes Spirit

Jun 24 to Oct 11

Free Last weeks

Andrea Hernández Briceño's exhibition "Fire Becomes Spirit" is presented in ICP's Incubator Space, a ground-floor area dedicated to emerging photographers. The exhibition focuses on Briceño's work documenting the indigenous Huöttöja people in the Amazon basin since 2024. Many Huöttöja community members are drawn to the mining industry, which offers wealth but threatens their cultural identity. Briceño was commissioned to capture their traditions and ancestral knowledge, aiming to preserve them while avoiding the exploitation often felt by the community from outsiders. Her goal is to create a body of work that authentically reflects the Huöttöja worldview and spirituality. This is achieved th

Common Sense

May 1 to Nov 8

Free

The exhibition 'Common Sense' explores the enduring relevance of Thomas Paine's revolutionary ideas by placing his foundational documents alongside contemporary art. Paine's influential pamphlets, 'Common Sense' (1776) and 'The American Crisis' (1776–83), were instrumental in shaping the discourse for American independence and envisioning the nation's future. The exhibition draws a parallel between the deep divisions the country faced in Paine's era and the present day, suggesting that contemporary art, much like Paine's writings, can offer hope and inspiration. It features nine contemporary works that resonate with Paine's call to 'begin the world over again.' These pieces examine the ongoi

Architects of Liberation: Modernism in Western Africa

Until Jan 2, 2027

This exhibition explores the pivotal role of architecture in shaping the aspirations of newly independent nations in Western Africa during the mid-20th century. It highlights how countries like Ghana, upon gaining independence in 1957, and many others in the "Year of Africa" (1960), sought to project a modern, progressive, and cosmopolitan image. Modern architecture became a powerful symbol of this forward-looking vision, deeply intertwined with the political ideals of Pan-Africanism and Africanization. The exhibition showcases a vast collection of architectural drawings, models, and archival images, many of which are being publicly displayed for the first time. It also features newly commis

This exhibition showcases sculptures by Oded Halahmy, primarily created in the 1970s after his relocation to New York from London. The works, often titled with themes of family, ritual, and spatial orientation, frequently suggest architectural elements like ladders and windows. These pieces are intimate, hand-wrought expressions of Halahmy's unique artistic language, deeply rooted in memory and his personal history. Halahmy's background, born in Baghdad to a Jewish family and later migrating to Israel due to persecution, profoundly influenced his art.

This exhibition features Mark Bradford's "Untitled (A–Z), 2010," an exploration of language and social systems. The artist collects local business advertisements from his South Los Angeles neighborhood, which often contain messages about community issues like "Stop Evictions" and "Affordable Daycare." Bradford then layers and sands down these posters, abstracting their original text until only fragments remain. The result is a series of twenty-six individual works on paper, each dedicated to a single letter of the English alphabet. By removing the letters from their original context, Bradford imbues them with symbolic meaning. These abstracted letters allude to the complex social and economi

The Lost World: The Art of Minnie Evans

This exhibition explores the visionary art of Minnie Evans, an artist who created hundreds of radiant drawings, paintings, and collages inspired by her dreams and visions. Evans's work draws from her Afro-Caribbean heritage, mythology, religion, popular culture, decorative arts, and the natural environment of her native North Carolina. Her compositions are dense and kaleidoscopic, featuring angels, mythical creatures, watchful faces, and intricate patterns that suggest harmony and transcendence. These works evoke a spiritual province that existed before the biblical great flood, which the artist called the "lost world."

This exhibition explores the artistic and scientific fascination with clouds from the early 1800s to the 1920s. It highlights how landscape painters used clouds to demonstrate their skill in capturing nature's transient effects through outdoor sketches. Concurrently, meteorologists began to scientifically study and classify clouds for the first time. The advent of photography in the 1830s offered new possibilities for capturing the sky with unprecedented detail. However, early photographic technology faced limitations, leading photographers to manually enhance their images by painting skies or combining negatives. By the early 20th century, advancements in chemistry and optics enabled clouds

Ruth Patir: (M)otherland

Dec 18 to Jun 7, 2027

This exhibition showcases Ruth Patir's multi-channel video work, (M)otherland, originally created for the 2024 Venice Biennale. The piece explores the complex intersections of gender, motherhood, and the politics surrounding fertility and reproductive rights. It features digitally animated figurines based on ancient Iron Age artifacts (800–600 BCE), whose original meanings are uncertain but often linked to fertility. Patir uses these animated figures as avatars to represent herself and other women. The work draws from her personal experiences with a gene mutation diagnosis and the pressures of fertility treatments within a male-dominated medical system. It delves into themes of bodily autono

Painting with Fire: Susanne de Court and the Art of Enamel

Apr 8, 2027 to Jul 12, 2027

This exhibition is the first ever dedicated to the French enameler Susanne de Court, who was active around 1600. De Court is a significant but enigmatic figure in the creation of painted enamels, a distinctive art form of the French Renaissance. These enamels were treasured for their durability, lively religious and mythological subjects, and jewel-like colors. With nearly one hundred surviving works, De Court is the only woman known to have made enamels in her era. She is also widely believed to have been the only woman to lead a workshop in Limoges, the center of enamel production in France. The exhibition brings together for the first time around fifty of De Court’s signed works. Visitors

Her art features monumental textile collages, sculptures, and installations, often constructed from colorful, recycled clothing and materials gathered from her community. These elements lend a powerful, talismanic quality to her portraits. The works displayed represent Romani individuals acro

Nov 11, 2027 to Feb 14, 2028

This exhibition focuses on Vilhelm Hammershøi's celebrated paintings of the interior of his Copenhagen apartment at Strandgade 30, where he lived and worked between 1898 and 1909. Approximately forty of the sixty-five interiors he produced in this space will be displayed, including some rarely seen works from private collections. The exhibition demonstrates how Strandgade 30 served as Hammershøi's home, studio, and primary artistic subject. It explores the hermetic world he created, a carefully defined environment that offered endless formal and perceptual possibilities. Key themes include the artist's manipulation of spatial ambiguity, his distinctive handling of light, shadow, and time, an
