Although the VCU Institute for Contemporary Art still looks like a heap of rubble at the intersection of Belvidere and Broad, the museum announced earlier this month that Lauren Ross has been chosen as curator, and will begin her new position Oct. 6.
For months, the lot on the corner of Broad and Belvidere streets has remained vacant except for the sign designating it as the future home of the Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU. Last week, nearly 350 people gathered on that lot as VCUarts Dean Joe Seipel broke ground for the ICA.
VCU’s Institute for Contemporary Art debuted its first installation, “Synaptic Bliss,” by renowned artist collective Aziz + Cucher throughout Fall Line Fest’s two-day run on Friday and Saturday.
Scheduled to open in the Spring of 2015, the ICA has raised $23.5 million to date. The ICA estimates the total project to cost $50 million, which includes $35 million for construction and $15 million for the endowment campaign, according to ICA spokesperson Carrie Culpepper.
