ICP alum Inuuteq Storch (Creative Practices ‘16) presented his first US solo exhibition at MoMA PS1 from October 9, 2025, to February 23, 2026. Soon Will Summer Be Over highlights Storch’s approach to imaging moments of intimacy, mundanity, and sublimity across Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), often focusing on his hometown of Sisimiut—a town of 5,500 people just north of the Arctic Circle. The exhibition traced the artist’s practice over the past decade.
Storch documents the textures and rhythms of communities navigating the crossroads of Inuit traditions, Danish colonial influences, climate crises, and the pressures of globalization. His visual style draws attention to the details of the day-to-day. And in doing so, the project blurs the lines between what might be considered art and decoration.
In Soon Will Summer Be Over, Storch uses photos and videos of the smaller details to draw out larger histories. One of the ways he does so is by thinking about how people have visually arranged their own lives.
Soon Will Summer Be Over builds on Storch’s existing bodies of work on Greenland’s natural and cultural traditions. In his 2019 series, Keepers of the Ocean, he documented the essence of life in Sisimiut over four years. What If You Were My Sabine? reveals the themes of love, intimacy, and belonging. While Anachronism, footage from film found in a dumpster is a video projection which speaks to Inuit modernization. Through each project, Storch’s camera becomes both a witness and participant, blending stories of familial, natural and communal stories to shed light on identity and life in Greenland.
