Last week the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami) announced that Suzanne Weaver would be its interim director and Alex Gartenfeld would take on the role of deputy director and chief curator. Now the fledgling museum has announced that its inaugural exhibitions will feature artists Pedro Reyes and Andra Ursuta. The shows will be up from December 3 through March 2015 and be completely free to the public. Expect an opening party for the Miami Basel crowd on December 2.

The ICA Miami is temporarily located in the Miami Design District’s Moore Building while the Board of Trustees continue to search for a permanent home.

The longtime rift between the Museum of Contemporary Art’s board of trustees and the city of North Miami turned into a physical breakup Wednesday as the nonprofit that has overseen MOCA moved its employees out of the city-owned building and announced plans to establish a new arts organization.

The new Institute of Contemporary Art will open a temporary space in November at the Moore Building in Miami’s Design District, according to a statement from board co-chairs Irma Braman and Ray Ellen Yarkin.
