Three exhibitions at the Bass Museum of Art and a lineup of new public art on Lincoln Road are giving Miami Beach a stacked cultural season ahead of Miami Art Week.

The Bass, at 2100 Collins Ave., opened three solo shows this fall. Yuko Mohri's "Unviolated Imperfection," on view through May 30, 2027, is the Tokyo-based artist's first solo exhibition in a U.S. museum, according to the museum's exhibition page. The show spans three galleries. In one darkened room, electrodes pierced into decaying fruit translate moisture changes into shifting musical tones and pulses of light on a large LED screen. In another, a new version of Mohri's "Moré Moré (Leaky)," previously shown at the 2024 Venice Biennale, sends water through a network of found objects sourced from Miami secondhand shops.

Amalia Pica's "Lecturas Posibles," on view through Feb. 12, 2027, turns the museum's Rotunda into an interactive chalkboard library. Walls, furniture and objects are coated in chalkboard paint with white hand-drawn outlines, and visitors can draw and write on every surface with colored chalk. The installation draws on the building's history as the Miami Beach Public Library and Art Center, which opened in the 1930s, according to the Bass.

Sarah Zapata's "Against a State of Malevolence," a textile installation on view through Feb. 28, 2027, rounds out the trio. The Bass recently acquired Zapata's textile work "A Famine of Hearing" in its entirety, according to the museum's season announcement. Jasa McKenzie, associate curator for the Bass, organized all three shows.

On Lincoln Road, Nigerian-born, Arkansas-based artist Oluwatobi Adewumi will debut "The Stories We Carry" in November. The installation, roughly 60 feet long, 10 feet wide and 9 feet tall, features a pathway of sculptural suitcases and suspended tags made from powder-coated steel and laser-cut metal, according to the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District. Adewumi received a $75,000 award through the BID's annual open call, which drew more than 100 submissions.

"'The Stories We Carry' grew from my own experience of migration and from conversations with people whose lives have been shaped by movement across countries, cities and generations," Adewumi said in a statement from the Lincoln Road BID.

In December, artists Gillie and Marc will bring "A Wild Race Against Time" to Lincoln Road, a series of interactive sculptures of endangered animals tied to the Love the Last Wildlife Fund, The Fame Magazine reported.

Already on display is "Deco Portals," a series of sculptural portals drawing on the geometric forms and ornamentation of Miami Beach's Art Deco District. The project was built by participants in Moonlighter FabLab's National Science Foundation-funded Maker Cities workforce development program, as we reported Oct. 23. Five student teams developed proposals before one was selected for fabrication and installation, according to the Lincoln Road BID.

The installations and exhibitions feed into the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau's "Fall for the Arts" program, which runs through Dec. 6 and leads into Miami Art Week, Nov. 30 through Dec. 6. The city's Culture Crawl series, offering free admission and trolley rides to cultural venues on the third Thursday of each month, launched its new season Oct. 15.
