The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAMSTL) opened to the public on September 20 with its first exhibition titled "A Fiction of Authenticity: Contemporary Africa Abroad" featuring ten artists' works in the gallery spaces (and one site-specific installation across the street from the museum). Small by current museum standards, CAMSTL's 27,000 s.f. contain performance space, class room studios, a technology lab, the requisite bookstore and cafe, and offices, in addition to its two gallery spaces.
