Museum The BASS Experience The Bass, Miami Beach’s contemporary art museum, to explore the performative and theatrical aspects of social networks with new exhibitions highlighting movement, immersion, scenography and technology. Rachel Feinstein: The Miami Years spans almost three decades of work and is the artist’s first major exhibition in her hometown. Displaying Feinstein’s multidisciplinary approaches to sculpture—encompassing painting, video, performance and installation—The Miami Years examines the societal factors that shape human behavior and female identity. Feinstein’s exhibition includes Panorama of Miami (2024), The Bass’s site-specific commission of a massive painted mirrored mural, where the artist prods the contradictory nature of Miami’s decadence and sophistication. Ulla von Brandenburg: In Dialogue is an exhibition of film, watercolor and sculpture, including a newly commissioned site-specific installation. This presentation of von Brandenburg’s work is paired with the museum’s recently acquired, abstract, ceramic wall mural Untitled (2023) by the late Etel Adnan, a leading figure in contemporary literature and visual art. (LA)HORDE is a multidisciplinary collective that pushes the boundaries of classical dance to explore how bodies are represented in public spaces. Heureux Sous Son Ombre features the film Bondy, a choreographic portrait of the Parisian suburb of the same name, placing the constant movement of its diverse residents in synchronicity with one another as they course through public and private spaces. assume vivid astro focus: XI is a large-scale installation of artworks, videos and sound reimagined at The Bass as part of a major gift by Miami-based collectors Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz. XI is an enveloping installation of patterned wallpaper and decal graphics spanning floor to ceiling. The colorful mélange explores the many facets of queerness by fusing drawing, sculpture, video and performance into large-scale installations and happenings where gender, politics and cultural codes freely interact. Performing Perspectives: A Collection in Dialogue is a new presentation of The Bass’s permanent collection, featuring works of art from the early Renaissance to the present-day. The exhibition offers the spatial and conceptual conditions to initiate a dialogue among the images, scenes, materials, spaces and ideas on view. In this way, the works of art are called upon to “perform” a range of contemporary perspectives—including yours. Rethink how we interact with and learn from art—and each other—with Social Assembly: Welcome To The Museum. Whether meeting friends, reading books, watching videos, drinking coffee or listening to music, this re-envisioned exhibition invites visitors to relax, refresh and regroup in a museum setting. The Bass is located at 2100 Collins Avenue and is open daily, Sunday December 1 through Sunday December 8, from 10 AM to 5 PM. Public tours take place from 1 – 2 PM and are included in the price of museum admission.
