This exhibition will focus on the intersections of painting and architecture that informed Adnan’s career. \nA writer\, poet and visual artist\, Etel Adnan (b. 1925\, Beirut\, Lebanon; d. 2021\, Paris\, France) built a practice inspired by her cross-cultural experiences and lifelong engagement with the natural world. Adnan created rich\, geometric fields of color in her paintings and drawings\, with some compositions occasionally translated into large-scale wall murals. The artist originally wanted to study design before turning her attention to canvas and paper\, once stating\, “Architecture contains everything: form\, color\, social concerns.” Adnan recognized a mural’s inherent connection to the built environment\, a direct means of injecting art into public space. \nPainting into Space presents a selection of work by Adnan centered around The Bass’ recent acquisition of Untitled (2023)\, a monumental ceramic wall mural based on a sketch completed by the artist in 2020. The exhibition focuses on the interplay of geometric forms—circles\, squares\, and triangles—redolent in her paintings and underlying the artist’s interests in the spatial environment.

I will always weather with you at The Bass is Jordan’s first solo exhibition in the United States. \nJordan’s immersive world-building exhibitions combine humor and play to explore the way machines are portrayed in popular culture\, the media\, television and science fiction. 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.

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.

His works often involve a single male or group of male figures caught in moments of stasis\, in apparent introspection or still repose. All other action surrounding the character is seemingly suspended for the artist’s and viewers’ thoughtful study. \nMining literary sources\, like the aesthetic decadence and queer eroticism of such nineteenth-century writers as Oscar Wilde and Joris-Karl Huysman\, Bas incorporates visual cues into a range of narratives. From poetry\, religion\, mythology and literature to the histories of gay struggle\, youth culture\, news media and television\, Bas’s detailed vignettes symbolically reference the peculiarities of cultural identities. \nWhile earlier works show male characters linked to specific stories\, each painting in The Conceptualists depicts a single protagonist deeply engaged in an obsessive\, idiosyncratic pastime. Bas’ subjects freely exercise the unique activities that give sustenance and meaning to their lives: carving objects that hold ice\, fabricating roadside memorials for hitchhikers\, chewing gum every waking hour of the day\, or gilding the leaves of dying house plants\, among other personal idylls. \nBas’ detailed depictions substantiate quirky behaviors under the generous categorization of “conceptual art.” These tales are queer\, where queerness refers not necessarily to sexual orientation but to a pillar of conceptual art—an incomprehensible permissiveness and liberating space for a society grounded in conformity. \nThe Conceptualists is a featured exhibition as The Bass commemorates its 60th anniversary season of sharing powerful contemporary art that excites\, challenges and educates audiences\, bringing new perspectives to Miami Beach’s diverse cultural context. \nABOUT HERNAN BAS\nHernan Bas (b. 1978\, Miami\, FL\, lives and works in Miami\, FL) creates paintings\, works on paper\, videos and installations that weave together adolescent adventures with classical poetry\, religious stories\, mythology\, the paranormal and literature. Influenced by the Romantic era of the 18th century that glorified the sublime beauty of nature and the Decadent movement of the 19th century that evoked romantic nihilism\, skepticism\, excess and artificiality\, Bas’ early work often portrayed nearly hidden adolescent male figures\, deep in contemplation amidst vast otherworldly landscapes. As the figure and the interiors they occupied became more and more prominent throughout Bas’ work\, so did the social and cultural context within which they were living. Spanning a wide range of time periods and themes\, Bas investigates inquisition\, desire and obsessions and invites the viewer to recognize their own curiosities and oddities. \nWhile the young male figure remains prominent throughout Bas’ oeuvre\, in his more recent work of individual paintings become an in-depth investigation into a singular critical subject\, addressing topics such as LGBTQIA+ activism and desire\, politics\, news\, conspiracy theories and the occult. Providing a unique perspective on American subculture and a contemporary version of History Painting\, they allow us to consider the relevance of seemingly inconsequential moments in the past and present and offer space for critical reflection. For his November 2019 exhibition with Lehmann Maupin\, TIME LIFE\, Bas used the Time-Life Book series “Mysteries of the Unknown” as his inspiration. Published between 1987 and 1991\, each book focused on a different paranormal topic\, such as ghosts\, UFOs\, psychic powers and dreams. Navigating the liminal space between reality and fiction\, the grotesque and the beautiful\, the odd and the mundane\, Bas highlights cult phenomena from the past that offer insight into the political and social concerns of today.

Credited with originating the term “electronic superhighway” in 1974\, Paik’s complex works demonstrated enormous prescience for the influence and proliferation of digital media as an artistic medium\, the global expansion of social networks\, and the growing enmeshment between modern life and technology. \nOrganized around The Bass’ recent acquisition of Paik’s TV Cello (2003)\, Nam June Paik: The Miami Years offers a close examination of the artist’s connection to Miami. The exhibition uncovers the little-known history of the artist’s life in Miami Beach while exploring the innovative ways he used communication and media technologies in his work. \nIn the early 1990s\, people arriving at Miami International Airport had the opportunity to encounter two extraordinary sculptural installations by Paik. WING\, located in the Concourse B lobby\, greeted viewers with almost 100 television monitors assembled in a biplane-shaped\, neon frame\, punctuated by a propeller. MIAMI\, in front of the Customs exit doors in the lobby of Concourse E\, featured 74 monitors arranged to spell out M-I-A-M-I in block letters. \nIn both works\, the TV screens presented a mesmerizing flow of iconic images of South Florida interspersed with recognizable glimpses from around the world: palm trees\, flamingos\, bathers at the beach\, traffic jams\, Buddhist temples\, molten earth\, sailboats and molecules. Thousands of images\, along with Paik’s unique form of “electronic painting\,” combined into a dynamic cacophony flashing before travelers’ eyes. \nCommissioned in 1985 by the Miami-Dade Art in Public Places Trust\, WING and MIAMI were dedicated on November 29\, 1990.While Paik made Miami Beach his home until his death in 2006\, by the late 1990s\, WING and MIAMI were no longer on public view. \nWith original research into Paik and South Florida\, including a timeline account of the making and display of WING and MIAMI\, Nam June Paik: The Miami Years will offer fresh insights into the acclaimed artist’s personal engagement with our region. \nThis exhibition will also include Notations\, performances by contemporary artists whose practices engage with and further the experimental uses of technology found in Nam June Paik’s work.” \nThe museum is open Wednesday-Sunday 12pm-6pm. Admission is free for Miami Beach Residents & City of Miami Beach employees (with valid ID/proof of residence).

The mound of carpet with edges reveals the stratified layers beneath\, composed of parts of dressers\, lamps\, old televisions and other appliances\, jars\, fabrics and yarn\, table leaves\, cushions\, extension cords and more. \nPhillips’ large-scale\, sculptural and architectural creations are known for “making do” with scavenged or already-owned materials and using common objects in unexpected ways. The artist has a deep fascination with her own families’ and others’ domestic spaces and materials and as such\, her work with found objects is intuitive and steeped in remembrance and storytelling. Long fascinated with what many people would consider useless or meaningless objects—junk—the artist sees her works as revealing an exchange of value\, an understanding of the importance and limitations of memory and representing the vitality of playfulness. Art becomes a means for remembrance and connectivity. \nPhillips’ parents grew up on farms where one of her grandmothers “collected/kept things” and the other was known for her masterful storytelling. Phillips says that both grandmothers had a tremendous influence on her\, inspiring her approach to creating contemporary art sculptures and installations using materials available at a specific place and time—ranging from things found to collected experiences and retold stories. \nThe exhibition develops and reveals its own narrative specific to Miami\, throughout the duration of that part of the installation\, related to the diversity of the museum’s audiences. \nABOUT KERRY PHILLIPS\nKerry Phillips uses common objects in unexpected ways\, working collaboratively with viewer-participants to reveal an exchange of value\, the importance and limitations of memory\, and the vitality of play. Phillips earned an MFA from University of Arizona and has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions\, including at the Orlando Museum of Art\, Locust Projects\, Pérez Art Museum Miami\, Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami\, Boca Raton Museum of Art\, and Bridge Red Projects. She has exhibited and completed residencies in Ohio\, Vermont\, New York\, North Carolina\, and internationally in Berlin\, Krakow\, Mexico and France. Her work is held in the collections of the Orlando Museum of Art\, The Girls’ Club and Mosquera Collections.

Featuring works from The Bass Collection and works on loan\, Phraseology is on view from July 30\, 2022\, through April 23\, 2023. \nThe term “phraseology” references the specific choice of words that a communicator\, in this case the artist\, uses to highlight certain topics. With the rise of the Conceptual Art movement in the 1960s\, many artists began to create art that valued an idea or concept over the finished work. Artists wanted to redefine what art could be and the topics it addressed beyond visual aesthetics. In Phraseology artists merge form and idea by creating works that contain text\, familiar phrases and poetry. \nArtists in Phraseology employ recognizable language\, phrases or slogans that provide conflicting modes of observation to relay a new or different perspective. Placing text in the central role in their art practice\, the artists use word play\, political activism\, subversion of advertising or appropriation of form to reveal\, amplify and question histories and contemporary issues.

Through rigorous site-specific research—often studying\, casting and collecting material in the field–Despain visualizes the current geological epoch by revealing the consequences human manipulation has on ecological systems and the environment. \nUsing the midcentury Atomic Age as a lens to interpret the present looming threat of nuclear war\, Despain reframes ready-mades and archives to underscore the irreversible consequences and to convey the latent psychic imprint and cultural memory left in the wake of weapons development and testing. \nThis is event is open to the public and free with museum admission and RSVP.
