Marguerite Humeau,
‘Riddles’ @
C L E A R I N G,
New York
— 

‘Once you pass
the eyes of the
sphinx, you are
in the belly of 
the beast.’ 

The exhibition: 
For her first solo 
with C L E A R I N G, 
French-born, 
London–based  
artist Marguerite
Humeau begins 
with an excavation
of the past. Wielding
research as a spade,
she digs into the
science and myth
surrounding the
origin of war. 

Title meaning: 
In ‘Riddles’, Humeau
weaves together the
speculative tales of
fact and fiction to
form a new narrative
for the sphinx.
— 
“The monumental
creature feeds on
the blood; it is the
only way it can
survive. It is both
a predator and
protector.”
