He replaces Connie Butler, who left MOCA after 10 years to become the Robert Lehman chief curator of drawings at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Bennett Simpson has been named associate curator after three years as associate curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, where he is curating a major survey of photographs by Philip-Lorca diCorcia.
