Loved to Death X Modern Eden

Co-Curated with Audra Kunkle

Opening Reception: Friday October 6, 2017, 6 pm–9 pm

Exhibition Dates: October 6–28, 2017

October is the perfect month to partner with Audra Kunkle, owner of San Francisco’s infamous Loved to Death. We’ve teamed up to present an exhibition featuring some the most talented and dark-hearted artists working today from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. On Friday, October 6, prepare for dark art inspired by oddities, antiques, taxidermy, memento mori, natural history, crystals, skulls, and all things Loved to Death.

Loved To Death is a local treasure and was featured on the Science Channel’s television show, Oddities San Francisco. Loved To Death started out as an art endeavor for Kunkle, making Victorian-themed anthropomorphic taxidermy dioramas and jewelry, and now specializes in odd antiquities and Victoriana.
