White Cube Announces Marguerite Humeau's 'The Garden of Resuscitation' at Norway's Kistefos
The Facts
On July 28, 2026, White Cube announced a new site-responsive installation by artist Marguerite Humeau at Kistefos museum and sculpture park in Jevnaker, Norway. Titled 'The Garden of Resuscitation' (2026), the work opens August 20, 2026 and unfolds across sculpture, ecology, ritual and time. Humeau transforms the southern forest bordering the river at Kistefos into an evolving artwork through a series of sculptural interventions and seasonal processes. The installation reconstructs the life of a spruce tree in reverse, following a 'journey from the dead' from industrial paper production back into the living forest.
The Signal
The project signals a continued institutional embrace of ecologically engaged, durational artmaking within sculpture parks. For collectors and curators, it marks a deepening commitment to site-specific works that treat landscape as a sentient, metabolising entity rather than a static backdrop. Humeau's speculative cycle of regeneration aligns with a broader trend of artists integrating biological processes and interdependence into large-scale outdoor commissions, a genre Kistefos has increasingly championed.
