mildred thompson retrospective ica miami 1234746436

The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) Miami has opened "Mildred Thompson: Frequencies," the first comprehensive retrospective of the late artist Mildred Thompson (1936–2003). Spanning five decades, the exhibition brings together 49 works—including wood assemblages, monochromatic prints, and oversized triptychs—sourced from the artist's estate and Galerie Lelong & Co. It traces Thompson's career as she moved between the United States and Germany, highlighting her stylistic evolution and her deep engagement with abstraction, science, and spirituality. The show follows earlier focused presentations like "Against the Grain" (2018) at the New Orleans Museum of Art and the 2017 "Magnetic Fields" exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

What to see in Seoul during Frieze: from Adrián Villar Rojas's confrontational sculptures to an examination of melancholy

The article highlights several must-see exhibitions in Seoul during Frieze week. Adrián Villar Rojas transforms Art Sonje Center with his immersive exhibition "The Language of the Enemy," featuring large-scale installations from his ongoing series "The End of Imagination" that strip the museum to a primordial state. At Gallery Hyundai, Kang Seung Lee and Candice Lin present a two-person show "Not I, not I, but the wind that blows through me," exploring queer histories and colonial legacies through drawing, embroidery, and experimental materials. Meanwhile, sculptor Hyun Nahm debuts a new body of work at Whistle in "Nest in the Field," moving away from his signature tower forms to angular iron-powder sculptures shaped by magnetic fields.
