We're happy to share that Nikita Kadan's work The Sun II is currently on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, as part of "Four Rooms: Selections from ICA Miami's Permanent Collection," running through October 4, 2026. The exhibition brings together four presentations drawn from the museum's permanent collection, each organized by one of ICA Miami's curators with a focus on recent acquisitions, forming vignettes that trace the diversity and historical depth of the institution's holdings.
His work appears in the section curated by Gean Moreno, Director of ICA Miami's Art + Research Center, which turns to grisaille as a lens for exploring the body and its traces, a room where black-and-white photography and subtle performative gestures give shape to presence, memory, and identity. The piece on view, The Sun II, is part of ICA Miami's permanent collection. Made in 2022, the work belongs to a larger series Kadan began at the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Having been acquired through a generous donation from the Pirus Family Foundation, it marked Kadan's first acquisition by a museum in the United States.
