Miami, FL – December 1, 2015 – The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami) kicked off Art Basel by presenting the opening reception for a major solo exhibition dedicated to acclaimed video and performance artist Alex Bag. On view in ICA Miami’s Atrium Gallery through January 31, 2016, The Van (Redux) features new video work and a dramatic site-specific installation created for the museum’s current location in the landmark Moore Building in Miami’s Design District. Curated by Deputy Director and Chief Curator Alex Gartenfeld and organized by ICA Miami, The Van (Redux) marks the first presentation of new work by the artist since her 2009 presentation at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and   reflects the museum’s ongoing commitment to providing a platform for the work of the most innovative and experimental artists practicing today.

Known for her satirical commentary on contemporary media culture and pioneering work in video performance art, Bag appears under various guises as a character in many of her video works, offering social critique on such topics as fashion, television, advertising, and the art world.
