The Bass Museum of Art will once again be the center of activity with "Night Shift," a group of exiting and unexpected site-specific installations and sculptures in Collins Park curated by Jerome Sans. Sans was the founder and co-director of the world-acclaimed Palais de Tokyo, the cutting-edge contemporary art center that opened in Paris in 2002. Currently he is Director of one of the first nonprofit art centers in Beijing, the Ullens Center of Contemporary Art, and is Cultural Curator for Le Meridien Group. He was co-curator of the Paris Nuit Blanche in 2006, and is also a rock musician and DJ - he’ll be providing the live soundtrack for "Night Shift." Participating South Florida artists include Jim Drain and Brooke O-Harra, Christy Gast, Julie Kahn, Nicolas Lobo, Ernesto Oroza & Gean Moreno, Tom Scicluna, and Frances Trombly. A very unique collaborative piece "Viking Funeral" will also be featured, that is a monolithic 30’ Nirvana "t-shirt" that can be explored from the inside out! There will be special Sleepless Night attractions inside the Bass Museum as well. The Miami International Piano Festival has earned a wonderful reputation for bringing the "best of the best" newly discovered pianists and prodigies to Miami Beach. Come enjoy a tasty sampling of talented Festival musicians for a Sleepless Night of classical virtuosity at the Bass Museum. Thirty minute programs offered at 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00 p.m. Free and open to the community

| Concert – A Musical Mandala | |

A Musical Mandala, the first in the series, takes the music of Johann Sebastian Bach as its starting point and circles through works by Schumann, Ysaye, Bartok, Barkauskas, Villa-Lobos and Kreisler. Join us as we contemplate Bach’s enormous influence on enlightened composers and audiences over a period of more than 300 years. Reflections Concert Series presents solo and chamber music together with art, poetry and prose from around the world in combinations that both reflect upon one another and invite the audience to reflect anew on universal themes. In addition to the Bass Museum, Reflections is presented in New York City, North Carolina, and in Florence, Capri and Rome, Italy. Admission: $20 Bass Museum members, $25 non-members |
