MISS DOCENT: Avatar art, moth death and steel mazes.

Impressive permanent collections may have put our area museums on the map, but it's the rotating exhibits that keep visitors coming back. Every Thursday, Abigail Minor updates you on the newest and most browse-worthy. This week: Avatar art, moth death and steel mazes.

"First Among Equals" at ICA

Collaboration is key in the exhibit “First Among Equals.” Artists from Philadelphia and Los Angeles step on each other’s toes (in a productive way) to display everything from a transgender bar’s adventures on film to a communal yellow-spotted textile. Watch out — on certain days, Kathryn Andrews’ sculpture Serial Killer will be replaced by a living statue. Thanks to John Transue and Laura Nejman, you can tour a virtual art exhibit by inhabiting a life-sized avatar (fluency in Na’vi not required). (Picture courtesy of Wu Tsang and Clifton Benevento.)

Opening Wed., March 14, 6:30 p.m., through Aug. 12, free, Institute of Contemporary Art, 118 S. 36th St., 215-898-7108, icaphila.org.
