"The Gallatin Arts Festival: Chaos & Order" Exhibition
The Gallatin Gallery
This event has ended.
The Gallatin Arts Festival is a week-long, community-wide celebration of the unique artistry and interdisciplinary scholarship of students at the Gallatin School. The festival features student work in the visual and performing arts and serves as a galvanizing force and springboard for action and discussion through the creation and presentation of artistic work in response to a given theme.
This year we’re interested in how art can function as a tool for change and new ways of seeing. When this year’s student leadership team began brainstorming ideas and visions of chaos, images of what survives disaster emerged leading to evocative questions about the relationship between chaos and survival. Does survival mean bringing order to chaos or the opposite? Does chaos inevitably lead to disaster? What else can emerge from chaos? What might chaos presuppose about order or vice versa? How do you find order in chaos or freedom in structure? Part of what art does is test the limits of order and chaos – how can artistic work push the boundaries of our conceptual thinking around these ideas? This year we explore the ways the arts can serve as forms of revolution, reaction, survival, or rehabilitation.
