SOPHIA MEDINA ▼ DOWNTOWN LUNCH MENU Hailed by the Boston Phoenix as “one of the ten most influential performers of the ‘90s,” Lydia Lunch has been carving out her own lane since the beginning of her career.

She’s collaborated with acts like Nick Cave, Sonic Youth, Eint- sturzende Neubauten, and Henry Rollins. On Sunday, she takes the stage at the Ground as Lydia Lunch Retrovirus (which includes her- self and her backing band) along with home- grown talent Donzii and Glass Body. 8 p.m. Sunday, at the Ground, 34 NE 11th St., Miami; thegroundmiami.com.

Throughout the ages, art- ists have tried to make sense of the world by capturing it one brush stroke at a time. Even af- ter the invention of photography — which many feared would be the end of traditional painting — artists continued to put it all on the canvas. In the Wolfsonian’s latest exhibit, “The Big World: Alternative Landscapes in the Modern Era,” curators Lea Nickless and Silvia Barisione explore diverse depictions of land in the muse- um’s collection, with works spanning from the late 19th to the early 20th Century, tracing global evolution and changing perceptions of our surroundings. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through June 2, 2024, at the Wolfsonian, 1001 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-531-1001; wolfsonian.org. Tickets cost $8 to $12; admission is free for Florida residents.

Kicking things off is the Bass with its exhibi- tion “Nam June Paik: the Miami Years.” Orga- nized around the museum’s recent acquisition of Paik’s TV Cello (2003), the show closely examines the artist’s connec- tion to Miami, who made South Florida his home until his death in 2006. The artist’s lo- cal legacy culminated with the sculptural in- stallations at Miami International Airport in 1990. WING was located in the Concourse B lobby and greeted the public with 100 TV monitors assembled in a biplane-shaped neon frame, while MIAMI in Concourse E spelled out the city’s name with 74 monitors. The works are no longer in public view. The Bass’ show hopes to spotlight the artist once again and show how he engaged with the re- gion. Noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Au- gust 16, 2024, at the Bass, 2100 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-673-7530; thebass.org. Tickets cost $8 to $15; free for members and Miami Beach residents. JOSE D.
