“Macabre Curios”: Strange Halloween Art, Scary Stories & Curiosities | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The SFSU Art Gallery explores the dark mystery and sheer terror found in discarded and forgotten objects, through a gallery-wide, participatory All Hallows’ Eve installation project.

Eleven local artists spearhead the movement, while visitors are asked to integrate their strange curiosities and morbid inclinations by modifying the gruesome environment with an array of thrift store relics and supplies provided by the gallery. Visitors can feel free to add to their installation.

The reception on October 29, 2013 features:
