If there’s a must-see art event for Saturday’s upcoming Sleepless Night, it’s Night Shift at the Bass Museum’s Collins Park.

Curated by Jerome Sans, co-director of Paris’ Palais de Tokyo and current director of Beijing’s, Ullens Center of Contemporary Art, it features outdoor installations and performances by local Miami talent such as Jim Drain and Brooke O-Harra, Robert Chambers, Christy Gast, Julie Kahn, Nicolas Lobo, Ernesto Oroza & Gean Moreno, Tom Scicluna, Frances Trombly, and Viking Funeral.

Expect a playful piece by Robert Chambers. Long elastic bands attached to two nearby trees poise a slingshot-like structure that appears to be aiming a wrecking ball shaped sphere at the museum. Meanwhile Tom Scicluna’s piece ranks among the most subtle and powerful — a beached boat strewn out far across Collins Avenue, barely visible from the Collins Park vantage point.

For a festival like Sleepless Nights that lasts from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. Nigh Shift seems to gives off more of a sense of permanence and lasting value. For one thing, it will all be up for a month, not to mention the days before the festival when the work still occupied the public space (in some cases unfinished) and were already being interacted with. On any given afternoon you can see kids playing on Frances Trombly’s swing set installation. Or take the Nicolas Lobo constructed band stage, where many of Miami Beach’s homeless are already camping out. The structure is set up almost parasitically on the museum’s back patio area, and come Saturday night will be emanating a low hum of simultaneous broadcasts from every radio station in Dade County. Rumor has it that there may be an impromptu performance at the band stage sometime in the wee hours Saturday night.
