Knight Foundation through the museum’s Knight Art Commissions Program. Installed in Collins Park\, Bravo’s temporary\, site-specific monument will be on view through January 2024. \nMiami-based\, Venezuelan artist Carola Bravo’s work includes architectural public art and immersive site-specific video and art installations. Through her practice\, she explores the geometry of our spaces and how they intersect with history\, memory and time. Touching on themes such as change\, home\, exile and hope\, Bravo examines our sense of belonging through the ordering of space. Her interest in landscape\, places and territories form the basis of her examination of the conceptual and emotional implications of our relationships with space and time. \nWith Between Absence and Presence\, Bravo challenges traditional commemoration and the use of public monuments by inverting a pedestal and covering it in a mirrored surface\, reflecting spectators and the surrounding environment. The reflective presence of the spectator integrated into the absence of where a commemorative object is expected to be is meant to highlight society’s inverted values by directing the viewers’ gaze towards themselves\, initiating questions about this legitimizing form of the monument\, long recognized as means for assigning value to people\, events and things. \nThe Bass is situated in Collins Park\, a public park in Miami Beach\, where there are presently four monuments that were commissioned by different groups at various times. Sitting atop stone plinths in the south side of the park\, these existing monuments pay homage to Cuban epidemiologist Dr. Carlos Finlay\, Venezuelan political leader Simón Bolívar\, Nicaraguan scientist Dr. Luis Henry Debayle and Cuban writer Jose Martí. Amid an international debate on monuments and their legitimacy\, New Monuments seeks to provide artists the opportunity to produce a new\, temporary fifth monument. \n“The Bass conceived of New Monuments as a way to elevate artistic voices in Miami\,” said Silvia Karman Cubiñá\, Executive Director and Chief Curator of The Bass. “In its third year\, we’re excited to continue to provide a forum where local artists engage in the national conversation redefining monuments and who or what they honor and represent.” \nBuilding upon the question of “what is a monument” and engaging in current conversations\, Between Absence and Presence is the third work in the New Monuments open artist call.

She juxtaposes romantic perceptions of devices with acute reminders of the adverse effect technology has on nature and its impact on humanity’s connection to planet Earth. \nI will always weather with you is a multisensory scene that corresponds to the many characteristics of weather. The complex entanglement between nature and technology is of particular resonance in South Florida and Miami Beach\, communities that experience storm-related events with increasing frequency\, power and impact. \nThe exhibition will be composed of three zones—or atmospheres—analogous to the earthly experience of land\, water and air. Amid video projections of ocean streams and meteorological data\, visitors will “step into” weather. Mirrored walls create a visually unstable\, infinitely reflecting setting for video\, sculpture\, sound and robotics. Eye-popping kinetic sculptures— “robotic critters” —sing\, dance and disturb with simulated gusts of wind\, sound and fog. Radicchio leaves made of recycled glass and “Teapot” (a character embodying the escalating intensity of a storm\, from a gentle breeze to clattering tempest) also have supporting roles to play in the multidimensional installation. \nI will always weather with you presents a complete atmospheric embodiment of the power and authority of weather. The exhibition reminds viewers of the unwavering perseverance of human and nonhuman existence on Earth—living organisms inextricably bound to and influenced by our radically changing climate ecologies. \nAnne Duk Hee Jordan: I will always weather with you is a part of The Bass’ 60th anniversary season of sharing powerful contemporary art that excites\, challenges and educates audiences\, bringing new perspectives to Miami Beach’s diverse cultural context.
