Art Basel has announced that Nicholas Baume will serve as curator of the fair's public sector in Miami Beach this year. In his new role, Baume—the director and chief curator of the Public Art Fund—will be responsible for working with the Bass Museum of Art to transform Collins Park into an outdoor exhibition space that will be the site of video, installation, live performance, and large-scale sculpture. Before working at the Public Art Fund, Baume served as chief curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. Said Marc Spiegler, director of Art Basel, “Nicholas’s contributions to public art through his leadership at the Public Art Fund have been exceptional. We are looking forward to seeing how he will transform Collins Park in Miami Beach this December.”
