Jeff Merkel, exhibition designer at Meow Wolf.

Jeff Merkel is an exhibition designer at Meow Wolf, an immersive art experience with locations across the U.S. where he contributed to Convergence Station, Meow Wolf's third permanent exhibition. The exhibition is Meow Wolf's largest project to date and was brought to life by hundreds of Meow Wolfers and 110+ collaborating artists from Colorado. Convergence Station is home to sprawling city streets, alien biomes, sentient mechs and more! The Quantum Department of Transportation (QDOT) has created an exclusive travel opportunity from their station in Denver, Colorado to the Convergence of Worlds, where memories are currency. Just under the surface of Convergence Station lies a cosmic mystery about four forgotten women, and a mythological gateway to the infinite.
