Institute of Contemporary Art Miami ICA Miami

ICA Miami presents INTERFERENCE, a group exhibition featuring artworks by the Young Artists Initiative class of 2023.

Interference, as in “I’m losing you” or “you are breaking,” is a disruption caused by radio frequencies where the signal is momentarily lost or hijacked. A frail broadcast is a fissure in the stream of instant telecommunications. This disruption creates an opportunity to shift discourse, or embed transformative, oppositional, and cryptic messages.

The works in INTERFERENCE stage conversations, which often crisscross to create in-between dialogs where boundaries blur. Tensions between being defined, defining, and re-defining inform the practice of the 28 young interdisciplinary artists’ cohort. Collectively, these works aspire to raise awareness, ignite social change, celebrate and honor their communities, create space for joy, and reflect on the students’ lived experiences.
