May 22 – September 1
ICA Watershed (Boston, MA)

About

In her awe-inspiring installations, Chiharu Shiota (born 1972 in Osaka, Japan; lives and works in Berlin) foregrounds stories of migration, home, connection, memory, and consciousness. Using line in the form of string, Shiota creates immersive installations that underscore human connection and experience. For the ICA Watershed, Shiota will present two signature, large-scale installations that consider the ways humans collect memories and form connections as they move and travel: a site-specific iteration of Accumulation – Searching for the Destination (2014/2025) and a newly commissioned installation, Home Less Home (2025).

Featured as part of the Boston Public Art Triennial 2025, this exhibition, Chiharu Shiota’s first solo presentation in New England, amplifies the Watershed as a unique space for public art in Boston.
