B.F.A. Thesis: Chaos Song

Abstract
Chaos Song brings together six B.F.A. thesis students in a shared field of tension, between order and fracture, pattern and interruption, the clean line and a blurred image. Refuting chaos and harmony as opposites, but as forces that lean into one another, contaminate one another, and occasionally trade places. Here, disorder is generative rather than incidental, a springboard for new language.
The works in the show navigate disruption across various registers: material rupture, glitch and repetition, bodies in space, and symbols that resist a single meaning. Many pieces begin in a structure the artists inherited — academic discipline, cultural lineage, technical method — and then destabilize it. There are gestures toward entropy, archive, myth: bodies in dance, landscapes in perpetual change, and abstract staircases. Rather than smoothing chaos into coherence, Chaos Song interrogates harmony as a destabilizing force, allowing us to question whether chaos is as disruptive as it seems.
