publication · 2026-06-03

White Cube just put out a new book called 'Auguries', which is a 176-page look at Marguerite Humeau, a French artist based in London. She's one of the nominees for the 2025 Turner Prize, alongside Simeon Barclay, Kira Freije, and Tanoa Sasraku. The book costs £45 and features essays from Petra Lange-Berndt and Esther Leslie, plus an interview with Susanna Greeves. It dives into Humeau's work through three main projects: 'Meys' at White Cube Bermondsey, 'Orisons' in Colorado, and 'Dust' in Korea. Humeau's art, which combines AI, 3D sculptures, and nature, looks at humanity's connection to social insects and emphasizes care for the environment.
