If you haven’t visited the Bass Museum in a while, a new exhibit will likely leave you scratching your head. Gone are the typical old-fangled portraits or Baroque paintings for which the museum was once known. Instead you’ll find a giant chicharrón. The institution’s bleeding-edge transformation has come courtesy of new director Silvia Karman Cubiñá. No parvenu, she comes from the now-defunct Moore Space in the Design District, which was one of the most provocative art venues in town. The gargantuan fiberglass pork rind is on view as part of “Where Do We Go From Here?: Selections From La Collección Jumex,” representing one of the largest and most important collections of contemporary art in Latin America and marking the Mexico-based collection’s stateside debut. The exhibition has been extended through May 30.
Wednesdays-Sundays. Starts: Dec. 2. Continues through May 30, 2009
