The Bass Museum of Art has unveiled its 2026–2027 exhibition season, featuring a diverse lineup of contemporary artists whose installations explore identity, culture, memory, design, and the evolving role of art in public life. Running from summer 2026 through fall 2027, the season includes immersive exhibitions, site-specific installations, and interactive experiences across the museum and Collins Park.
Highlights include new presentations by Yuko Mohri, Amalia Pica, Sarah Zapata, Pedro y Juana, Pepe Mar, Abraham Cruzvillegas, and Gabriel Rico, each offering a distinct perspective through sculpture, textiles, sound, installation, and mixed media.
Among the season's featured exhibitions:
Abraham Cruzvillegas: Autocontusión (July 16, 2026 – July 25, 2027) explores cities, migration, and identity through a large-scale installation that reflects cycles of construction, destruction, and personal transformation.
Sarah Zapata: Against a State of Malevolence (July 30, 2026 – February 2027) showcases vibrant textile installations inspired by the artist's Peruvian heritage, blending bold color, tactile forms, and contemporary perspectives on identity and belonging.
Gabriel Rico: X Mural from the Series — Reducción Objecta Orquestada (August 29, 2026 – August 2028) combines natural and manufactured objects in sculptural compositions that invite visitors to create their own interpretations.
Yuko Mohri: Unviolated Imperfections (September 17, 2026 – April 25, 2027) transforms multiple galleries into immersive environments where sound, time, and everyday materials become tools for exploring change, decay, and human experience.
Amalia Pica: Lecturas Posibles (September 17, 2026 – February 2027, Rotunda) invites visitors to participate in an interactive chalkboard library that encourages drawing, writing, and collaboration.
Pedro y Juana: Aquí (October 28, 2026 – May 2028) presents a colorful, site-specific installation featuring custom wallpaper, sculptural furniture, lighting, and textiles inspired by Miami's subtropical landscape.
Pepe Mar: El Gato Negro (March 18 – October 2027, Rotunda) explores migration, borders, and memory through an immersive installation inspired by the artist's childhood in Mexico and his journey to the United States.
Art Beyond the Museum
Beginning December 2026, visitors to Collins Park will also experience Susan Philipsz's Too Much I Once Lamented, an outdoor sound installation relocated among the park's baobab trees. The artwork features the artist's voice performing a Welsh madrigal, creating a contemplative listening experience that explores memory, solitude, and emotion.
Throughout the 2026–2027 season, The Bass continues its commitment to presenting contemporary art that encourages dialogue and invites audiences to engage with ideas surrounding place, identity, history, and community through immersive and participatory experiences.
