Jessica Morgan, ICA

Word comes from the Institute of Contemporary Art that Jessica Morgan, once a curator at the museum, has signed on to become an adjunct curator at the ICA. Morgan's full-time gig remains curator of contemporary art at the Tate Modern.

Nicholas Baume, the ICA's chief curator, told me that the decision to extend the invitation to Morgan came as the museum tried to determine who it might want to work with in the future. Morgan seemed a natural, he said. Keep in mind that next year the ICA will bring in "The World as a Stage," a show Morgan organized for the Tate. Baume said she will put together a solo artist show - he said it's too early to name the artist - for the ICA in 2009.

Morgan won't be on the ICA's fulltime staff, but the relationship will be "ongoing," Baume said.

"We’re looking at who would be interesting to guest curate shows, and we thought right away of Jessica," he said. "And we thought, she’s more than a one off guest curator. We should recognize that and it just evolved very naturally."
