ICA SPEAKS: Nicole Eisenman will take place at Palm Court in partnership with the Miami Design District.

The Institute of Contemporary Art presents ICA SPEAKS, a series of lectures highlighting artists from the museum’s permanent collection. ICA welcomes painter and recent MacArthur Fellow recipient Nicole Eisenman, who is known for her paintings, drawings, and mixed-media works of cartoonish figures that evoke life-like pathos. Eisenman employs various techniques culled from art history to present a deeply personal, expressive body of work that explores matters of interpersonal, political, and economic interest relevant to the human condition.
