ORDER/CHAOS

Order and chaos are often considered opposites, but they are actually interconnected and can coexist.

How do artists deal with this relationship in art?

How do you as an individual artist deal with order and chaos in your work?

Do you use a grid or other organizational system?

Is your approach governed by outside or objective concerns (physical shape, physical space, distance, etc).

Do you employ rules?

Do you approach your work from inner impulse, outer inspiration, sensation, or reaction to stimulus?

This exhibition will examine these relationships and the variety of ways to interpret them. Artists are encouraged to include a narrative addressing these concerns.

Open to all visual media Sandy Forrest and Susan Handwerker will be the curators. You will be notified of registration times.
