SAINT LOUIS, MO.- The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis announces that Chief Curator Jeffrey Uslip has been appointed to the newly created post of Deputy Director for Exhibitions and Programs / Chief Curator. Working closely with Executive Director Lisa Melandri, Uslip will help advance the institution on a local and national stage.“This is an exciting moment for the Museum,” says Melandri. “Since his arrival, Jeffrey has made tremendous contributions to CAM through diverse and thought-provoking exhibitions, innovative programming, and fruitful partnerships with a national cadre of artists, colleagues, and supporters. We look forward to continuing our work of advancing CAM’s mission and programs with an ever-more global audience.”

Since joining CAM as Chief Curator in February 2014, Uslip has organized numerous critically acclaimed exhibitions, including surveys of Hurvin Anderson, Joe Goode, Jesse Howard, Joyce Pensato, and Lisa Yuskavage. He has curated first solo American museum exhibitions of such artists as Mark Flood, Wyatt Kahn, Jon Rafman, Arcangelo Sassolino, Michael Staniak, and Liat Yossifor. Other exhibitions include Katharina Fritsch: Postcards, Barnaby Furnas: The Last Flood, and Carla Klein. Exhibition catalogs include Joyce Pensato: I Killed Kenny, Hurvin Anderson: Backdrop, and the forthcoming publications Michael Staniak: IMG_ and Wyatt Kahn: Object Paintings.

Uslip’s new role coincides with his organizing Mark Bradford: Receive Calls on Your Cellphone from Jail, as well as CAM’s seventh edition of the Great Rivers Biennial, featuring new work by St. Louis-based artists Lyndon Barrois Jr., Nanette Boileau, and Tate Foley. Opening in September 2016, Uslip will organize the first American museum survey of multidisciplinary artist Kelley Walker. Featuring several new bodies of work, the exhibition will encompass the entire museum space and will be accompanied by a fully illustrated publication with texts by Uslip as well as Hilton Als, Christophe Cherix, Suzanne Hudson, and Anne Pontegnie.

Before joining CAM, Uslip served as Curator-at-Large of the Santa Monica Museum of Art. He has organized exhibitions for PS1/MoMA; Artists Space; Columbia University’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences; California State University, Los Angeles; and LA>
