MISSOULA ART MUSEUM SEES CURATORIAL STAFF CHANGES

The Missoula Art Museum in Montana is appointing a new curator as another steps down. According to The Missoulian_’s Cory Walsh, Stephen Glueckert, senior exhibitions curator, has revealed his plans to depart. In his long career at the museum, Glueckert helped begin the museum’s Montana Triennial, a statewide survey of contemporary art. He was also instrumental in staging exhibitions featuring artists from Miriam Schapiro (who recently passed away) to Jacob Lawrence (currently the subject of a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York).

In turn, Brandon Reintjes has been hired to fill the position Glueckert is leaving. Reintjes has organized exhibitions at the University of Montana’s galleries, and has been curator of art at the Montana Museum of Art and Culture since 2009. “He has the passion for contemporary art that we do at MAM,” said Millin.
