The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami presents I Stand, I Fall, a comprehensive survey of work by John Miller, marking the first American museum exhibition dedicated to the influential conceptual artist.
On view February 18 through June 12, I Stand, I Fall brings together more than 75 works that trace Miller’s use of the figure throughout his career in order to incisively comment on the status of art and life in American culture. The exhibition features a range of media, including painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, installation and video; never-before-seen works from the 1980s; new large-scale sculptures; and the artist’s most ambitious architectural installation to date – a vast and immersive mirrored labyrinth, on view through May 15.
