Marguerite Humeau Presents 'Meys' Exhibition at White Cube Exploring Post-Human Insect Architecture
Artist Marguerite Humeau has unveiled a new exhibition titled 'Meys' at The White Cube gallery. The multidisciplinary project imagines how insects might construct new environments using remnants of human civilization. Humeau's research originated at the North Peckham Civic Centre, a community building scheduled for demolition that contains a significant mural. The exhibition title references a theoretical Indo-European term meaning to combine or unite. Through this work, Humeau investigates prehistoric communication systems and potential collective futures.
