'Marguerite Humeau: scintille’ is on view at White Cube New York until 21 February 2026 🦇✨⁠
⁠
Sparked by her visit to a cave in West Papua and the lifeforms she encountered there, Marguerite has dedicated the upstairs gallery of her exhibition to the key animal protagonist of the cave: the bat.⁠
⁠
With her extensive research into the creature’s behaviour and social organisation, the artist was astounded to discover familiar acts of care – living in dense groups, bat colonies thrive through the assignment of individual roles related to reproduction, food and maintenance of the roost.⁠
⁠
Marguerite’s cast-glass sculptures show bats fusing with one another or the cave walls, their bodies becoming indistinguishable from the environment that sustains them. Together, these sculptures stage scenes of interconnection.⁠
⁠
📍 The exhibition ⁠is on view until 21 February 2026 at White Cube New York.⁠
