The catalogue explores the late artist's work by taking up his interpretations of capitalism and cultural imperialism as they relate to art in American culture. Created at the threshold of the twenty-first century, Majerus's works expound on themes of transformation. They are characterized by his fascination with speed, his passion for technology, youth culture, and art history and his perception of the power of art and institutions. This monograph provides a novel look at the artist's brief but dynamic and prolific career. Highlighting Majerus's timely reflection on and criticism of the pervasiveness of images, one of the book's focal points is his look on the collaboration between Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol.Text: Bruce Hainley, Mara Hoberman.

A thematic introduction to the thriving Miami museum's permanent collectionSince 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 Ursuta, 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.
