The main attraction

One new machine.
One first look.

Joseph’s Machines chain reaction with everyday objects, books and a glass
Joseph’s Machines — illustrative work; the new machine will be unveiled at the brunch.

Joseph Herscher makes extraordinarily complicated machines to do wonderfully simple things. During Art Basel Week, he is bringing that spirit of experimentation and play to the Jewish Museum of Florida.

At the brunch, guests will be among the first to see the unveiling of a brand-new, specially built bartender machine. Created for the Museum's Art Basel Week programming, it will use a surprising sequence of everyday objects and chain reactions to make the ordinary extraordinary.

Expect ingenuity, unexpected connections and a revealing look at how an artist transforms curiosity into invention.

Beyond the brunch

A world to wonder about.

The brunch is part of the Museum's Art Basel Week programming connected to The Wondering Jew: Chagall, the School of Paris and the Worlds They Inspired.

Now on view, the exhibition brings together works by Marc Chagall and artists of the School of Paris with contemporary creative voices, including Joseph's Machines and Miami-based artist Dahlia Dreszer.

Joseph Herscher will also lead student workshops during Art Basel Week. Dates and participation details will be announced separately.
