Press Release

ICA Miami and the Miami Design District present a monumental billboard created by Uruguay-born, Paris-based artist Jill Mulleady. The artist’s large-scale billboard is centrally located in the City of Miami and visible to thousands of people every day from Interstate 195.

Mulleady’s billboard reproduces her 2024 painting Pesca a la Encandilada (Dazzled Fishing) installed against a brick wall. The image records an exhibition at Sant’Andrea de Scaphis, a deconsecrated ancient Roman church that had served as a place of worship for the laborers at the port who had supplied fish and goods to the community. The darkness of the painting’s multicolor sky, reflected against the ocean’s surface, contrasts with the bright flame deployed by the fisherman to lure fish into his net. The scene recalls Mulleady’s fishing activities in her native Uruguay; the composite image conveys layers of meaning from secular and spiritual life.

Mulleady’s work is held in the collections of ICA Miami; Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; among many others.
