Nicholas Baume, Director and Chief Curator of Public Art Fund, returns for his second year curating Art Basel’s Public sector. Under the theme Fieldwork, Public will transform Miami Beach’s Collins Park into an outdoor exhibition space with 26 large-scale and site-specific installations by leading and emerging artists from 13 countries. Public will open on Wednesday, December 3, with a special evening program of live performances by Ryan Gander, Christian Falsnaes, Liz Glynn and Dawn Kasper, and Alix Pearlstein. Focusing on the potential for public art to challenge artists and viewers, Nicholas Baume’s curatorial premise of Fieldwork will center on the idea of experimentation and how artists test their ideas. In Collins Park this extends to the audience as well, with works that encourage the public to question their own ideas and verify them "in the field." As in the past two years, a selection of artworks will remain installed in Collins Park through March 2015 as part of tc: temporary contemporary, which is present in the Bass Museum of Art in partnership with the City of Miami Beach. A series of live performances will be presented on Public’s Opening Night on Wednesday, December 3. Alix Pearlstein will invite actors carrying illumination panels to circulate amongst the crowd, at times spotlighting artworks and other objects. Ryan Gander will equip curator Nicholas Baume with two bodyguards, heightening the visibility and the actions of the curator. The boundary between stage and audience will be disrupted with Christian Falsnaes’s participatory collective performance, in which a large-scale structure is continuously spray painted, torn down, displayed and subsequently rebuilt. Liz Glynn and Dawn Kasper will transform the Collins Park Rotunda into a pulsating and animated geodesic planetarium, questioning how we locate ourselves within the vast universe of seen and unseen forces. Public Opening Night, which is free and open to the public, will take place in Collins Park on December 3, from 8:30pm - 10pm. The Public sector is free of charge and open to the public from December 4-December 7. Tours will be offered daily at 10:30am, 11:30am, and 12:30pm. Collins Park is located between 21st and 22nd Street, in close proximity of the exhibition halls within the Miami Beach Convention Center and adjacent to The Bass Museum of Art. 2014 Public artworks: Georg Baselitz, Louise Fuller, 2013, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Lynda Benglis, Pink Lady, 2013, Cheim & Read Matthias Bitzer, Sleep and echo, 2012, Marianne Boesky Gallery, Almine Rech Gallery Sarah Braman, Door, 2013 – 2014, Mitchell-Innes & Nash Ana Luiza Dias Batista, Eva (Eve), 2014, Galeria Marilia Razuk Sam Ekwurtzel, Incomplete Open Cubes, 2014, Simone Subal Gallery Elmgreen & Dragset, Powerless Structures, Fig. 101, 2014, Victoria Miro Faivovich & Goldberg, Territorio del Chaco, 2013, SlyZmud, in cooperation with Nusser & Baumgart, Munich Nuria Fuster, Pump Iron, 2014, Galería Marta Cervera Ryan Gander, Never has there been such urgency, or The Eloquent and the Gaga – (Alchemy Box #45), 2014, Lisson Gallery Jeppe Hein, Mirror Angle Fragments (3x60°), 2014, Johann König Jessica Jackson Hutchins, Him and Me, 2014, Johann König Alfredo Jaar, Culture = Capital, 2012/2014, Galerie Lelong, Goodman Gallery, Galerie Thomas Schulte Gunilla Klingberg, A Sign in Space, 2012 – ongoing, Galerie Nordenhake José Carlos Martinat, Manifiestos, 2014, Revolver Galería Justin Matherly, The degenerated instinct which turns against life with subterranean vengefulness; See you again in your muck of tomorrow, 2010, Paula Cooper Gallery Olaf Metzel, Untitled, 2014, Wentrup Sam Moyer, Zola, 2014, Galerie Rodolphe Janssen Ernesto Neto, nós sonhando [spacebodyship], 2014, Tanya Bonakdar Gallery Ugo Rondinone, Untitled, 2014, Galerie Eva Presenhuber, Gladstone Gallery Nancy Rubins, Our Friend Fluid Metal, Chunkus Majoris, 2013, Gagosian Gallery Yinka Shonibare MBE, Wind Sculpture IV, 2013, James Cohan Gallery Jessica Stockholder, Angled Tangle, 2014, Kavi Gupta Chicago/Berlin Barthélémy Toguo, In the Spotlight, 2007, Galerie Lelong Tatiana Trouvé, Waterfall, 2013, Gagosian Gallery Hank Willis Thomas with Ryan Alexiev and Jim Ricks, In Search of the Truth (The Truth Booth), 2011, Goodman Gallery, Jack Shainman Gallery 2014 Public opening night performances: Ryan Gander, Thank you, but I am promised to the company of my artist this evening, 2014 Christian Falsnaes, Front, 2014 Liz Glynn and Dawn Kasper, cosmo[il]logical, 2014 Alix Pearlstein, The Shining, 2014 For further info, visit www.artbasel.com/en/Miami-Beach
