About this Event
ENTROPY: lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder.
The old tree may tumble in a storm. It may knock out the power. The junk drawer isn't likely to remain orderly. The lawn that needs mowed and edged, or it will consume the sidewalk and go to seed.
Your hair will get tangled. It will get dirty.
The windows you clean will be water spotted after the next rain, the dust will settle on the shelf you wiped. When the days get short and cold the leaves will fall, they will not fall carefully.
The manicured garden will grow wild if not minded. The parking lot of the empty strip mall will crack and grow its own garden, without care for arrangement.
For this open call for entries we asked artists to consider entropy, and the concept of disorder as the eventual natural state of the world. It is in the nature of humanity to want to create sequence, structure, patterns, and lines. We are asked artists to share an interpretation of the delight that can be found in the opposite - the jumble and disarray that is the eventual evolution of all order.
