Pattern Recognition: Cooperative Aesthetics: Pattern, Method And Material
The eager human brain looks for meaning everywhere. Repetition conveys it. We see the urgency of meaning when a design is repeated over and over.
Throughout history, artists have subverted expectations by literally or metaphorically weaving contrasting messages into opulent designs. Silenced voices have found poetic pathways by creating patterns laden with rebellious (or secret) messages. New visual art is born from playing within rigid frameworks to explore the kind of nuance only found in objects that are intimate, intricate, and beautiful.
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?
This exhibition explores the aesthetics inherent in pattern, repetition, and design-based processes that creatively employ systematic methodologies to achieve unexpected outcomes.
Artists draw inspiration from the aesthetics of opulence, beauty, intricacy, or intimacy; explore repetition or decoration as a symbol of experimentation; and/or reflect on the complexity of simultaneous harmony and conflict within dynamic interplay.
