re.riddle was founded in 2017 by art historian and curator Candace Huey. The art gallery showcases international contemporary artists through socially engaging and multidisciplinary programming. Our mission is to contribute to the discourse on contemporary art in thought provoking and playfully subversive ways. Via new modes of production, reception and consumption, re.riddle places an emphasis on the whimsical with hope that art continues to arouse curiosity and promote an awareness of its profound impact on our daily surroundings and lives.

In addition to our curatorial program, re.riddle assists collectors and corporations with art acquisitions, collection management and collection development.

The gallery is located at 1275 Minnesota Street, #204, San Francisco, California 94107.
