New Director and Curator Silvia Karman Cubiñá Plans to
Breathe New Life into the
Bass
Museum of Art
By Ben Torter
Although the search for new leadership at the Bass Museum
of Art in
Miami Beach
stretched across the country, in the end, a respected
leader in the local arts world was chosen.
Silvia Karman Cubiñá, founding director of the
internationally recognized contemporary art exhibition
space The Moore Space, was appointed executive director
and chief curator of the Bass Museum of Art earlier this
month.
“The
Bass
Museum, the city of Miami Beach and the greater South
Florida arts community are so lucky that Silvia has
accepted this job,” said George Lindemann, chairman of the
board of trustees and president of the Friends of the Bass
Museum of Art. “We’re all very excited about seeing the
institution grow with Silvia in the years to come.”
Cubiñá, whose first official day on the job is Oct. 1,
replaces former Director Diane Camber who, amid
controversy, left the post in June of 2007 after 26 years
at the helm.
