Obituary: Artist Matt King, co-founder of Meow Wolf, helped design dreamlike exhibits that have drawn 1.5 million visitors so far this year in Santa Fe, Denver and Las Vegas. He died July 9 at the age of 37.
Matt King, described by one friend as a “space pirate rock star,” painted pictures, sculpted and taught himself to play musical instruments while supporting himself with odd jobs. In Santa Fe, N.M., he found his spiritual home with a band of anarchic young artists.
In 2008, they formed what became Meow Wolf Inc., a developer of immersive entertainment experiences where visitors explore dreamlike jumbles of art. They attracted support from the novelist George R.R. Martin, who bought a former bowling alley in Santa Fe and rented it to them, as well as from other investors.
