“Unnatural” at the Bass helps kick off a busy arts season this weekend.With the Magic City’s museums set to break out their big shows and the seasonal art fairs just a few months away, our cultural calendar is bristling with an embarrassing trove of riches this year.Starting this weekend, you can catch new shows at both the Miami Art Museum and the Bass Museum of Art. The first offers an artist’s insightful exploration of identity and race while the second challenges viewer’s imaginations fueled by a group of international talent delivering a provocative commentary through an amalgam of technology and our environment in their “unnatural” works.
Then with December arrives the high point of local culture when an invasion of thousands of international creative types, sweaty-palmed collectors, Euro-trash hipsters and sundry art world honchos storm our shores for Art Basel — or what we like to call a drunken orgy of hedonistic excess.
