This summer, at Curious Matter, our Erasure Gallery project has sought to name, resist, and redress the historical erasure of queer artists from cultural narratives. It’s a project born not only from the past, but from patterns that persist today. Initially conceived as a critique of institutional omissions in galleries and museums, the work extends to the media, particularly arts journalism and cultural commentary.

Mark your calendars for a lively and inspiring talk with artist and writer Tom McGlynn and artist Arthur Bruso on the occasion of Bruso’s one-person exhibition 'Returning' at Curious Matter. The event will take place on Sunday, November 12, from 1:00 to 2:30 pm.

Curious Matter is delighted to present an exhibition of drawings and photography by Arthur Bruso.

The wave of support we’ve received in response to our news of Arthur’s health challenges has been bountiful and beautiful.

Dear Friends and Supporters of Curious Matter,

We’ve always endeavored to present exhibitions, experiences, and conversations that are provocative, thoughtful, and engaging. Historically, our group exhibition themes were inspired by our own art practices, or simply ideas we imagined other artists and our audience would find compelling — from the magic and meaning of relics (Sanctus), to shadowy phantoms (Nyktomorph) or the heights of enlightenment (The Ecstatic).

Curious Matter is updating its online home. It’ll be responsive across devices and have smoother navigation.
