Arning leaving MIT for Houston

Bill Arning, the curator at the MIT’s List Visual Arts Center, is leaving the Cambridge institution to become director of the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, the Texas museum has announced (pdf). He is expected to begin the new job on April 6.

Arning co-curated major contemporary exhibits like “America Starts Here—Ericson and Ziegler—1985-1995” and “Sensorium.” His departure is another major loss for the community.
