Fresh Sam’s Meow Wolf Exhibit Finds Unity In Contrast
303 Magazine

For her latest exhibit at Meow Wolf’s Galleri Gallery called “Broken Pieces to Masterpieces,” Fresh Sam repurposed unused or damaged goods into unique creations. This sustainable method not only perfectly suited its space (after all, Meow Wolf Convergence Station is home to the bi-annual Absoute Rubbish: A Trashion Show): repurposing materials that were otherwise going to end up in the landfill was also an intentional manifestion of Fresh Sam’s guiding mission.

Leaf Nation

Trying to explain Meow Wolf is like trying to describe a dream while you’re still half in it. Venturing through this immersive art environment is a journey that resists easy description. It’s not quite an art installation. It’s not a theme park. It is a full-body, sensory-flooding plunge into a shifting universe where narrative bends, time blinks and reality becomes optional.

Happening Thursday, May 1, at Meow Wolf’s Convergence Station inside the Perplexiplex, the show reimagines the iconic characters from Pixar’s animated hit, like Joy and Sadness, with a grown-up, glittery makeover. “We were inspired by the base emotions represented in Inside Out one and two,” said performer and co-producer Talia Tucker L’Whor. “But we wanted to add a few more twists that are part of the adult experience.”

It’s a place to get lost — in galleries, in thought, in wide-open sky. Meow Wolf is here too — trippy, brilliant, unforgettable — plus a growing network of young spiritual seekers, creatives and community builders.

Radio Tave opened last year on Halloween. A highly-enjoyable but somewhat difficult to describe experience, it guides visitors through an East Texas radio station that's been transported to another dimension. Like the rest of Meow Wolf's installations across the country, it's an immersive exhibition that puts the visitor inside a story, from solving a jukebox-based puzzle to dance parties. With music by Houston rapper Fat Tony (among others) and and some adorably creepy animatronics, Radio Tave is an unsettling and surreal adventure designed by more than 50 Texas artists.
