The Appraisal has reason to believe that Sylvia Karman Cubina, curator at the Moore Space, a contemporary art exhibition space in Miami, may have been chosen as director of Miami’s Bass Museum of Art. A brief press release issued yesterday indicated that the Moore Space, which was founded by collectors Rosa de la Cruz and Craig Robins in 2001, will shut its doors permanently this October. Interestingly, Cubina, who is well liked in Miami, and respected in the international contemporary art world, was part of the first group of curators to participate in the new Center for Curatorial Leadership program in New York last spring, which trains curators to become museum directors. The Bass has been without a director since its Executive Director Diane Camber resigned a little over a year ago, and a search committee was formed in April. Cubina had no comment.
