Today, the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAMSTL) announced that Chief Curator Jeffrey Uslip will be leaving for an as-yet-unnamed institution. Uslip is one of the focal points of criticisms voiced by protesters who have taken issue with the museum’s current Kelley Walker exhibition, which he curated.
The announcement does not indicate the name of the institution that Uslip is leaving to join. Hyperallergic asked CAMSTL for information about his new role and was told: “Out of respect for the institution, which wishes to control the timing and focus of its announcement of Uslip’s appointment, we cannot provide that information.”
