A butterfly flaps it wings
January 27 - May 5, 2024
Named for chaos theory's “butterfly effect” metaphor, the exhibition delves into the idea that artists are not isolated creators but are deeply influenced by the multifaceted environments surrounding them—be they ecological, cultural, political, and beyond. This approach challenges visitors to consider the profound connections between the artist and the world. The exhibition features works from our permanent collection including significant new acquisitions.
