Insider
The Bass Exclusive

Jack Pierson: The Miami Years is the first exhibition devoted to exploring the city’s transformative impact on Pierson’s life and work. The artist’s initial excursion from New York City to Miami Beach in the winter of 1984 instigated many return visits over the years. To mark Pierson’s Art Week Miami Beach debut, James Voorhies, Curator-at-Large at The Bass, introduces a conversation, between Klaus Bisenbach, German American Curator and former Chief Curator at Large at The Museum of Modern Art in New York and MoMA PS1 Massachusetts-born artist Jack Pierson.

Internationally acclaimed artist Sir Isaac Julien returns for a highly anticipated conversation moderated by Silvia Karman Cubiñá, Executive Director of The Bass. Together, they reflect on Julien’s groundbreaking video installation Vagabondia (2000), a recent gift from collectors Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz and now on view at the museum. The work was among the first to posit the museum as a space where suppressed stories and experiences can – and should – surface in their totality. Twenty-five years after its debut, we revisit the work and context in which it’s presented today.
