“This eccentric and rarified little gallery is home to some of the most intellectually rigorous shows in the area.”
— Melissa Stern, City Arts
“In an art scene filled with shouters, it’s the Curious Matter manner of address — even, quiet, persistent, and intelligent — that often leaves the lingering impression.”
— Tris McCall, JCityTimes
In 2026, Curious Matter turns its attention to books through exhibitions, conversations, and collaborations. Books will be engaged as artworks and artifacts; as structures that shape visual, textual, and material practices; and as vehicles through which ideas circulate, expand, and gather force.
