In their book What Is Philosophy? Deleuze and Guattari venture that different forms of thinking, each in their own way, manage chaos through various interventions upon its essence: that is, philosophy creates concepts, art nurtures sensory feelings, whereas science produces different functions.
What this exhibition therefore does, is to relativize and contrast the inevitable interaction between these separate planes of human imagination by pointing to the also inescapable seepage occurring when different concepts contaminate the realm of sensory impressions, or when certain functions becomes altered. It is the artists who illuminate the gap resulting from the entropical descent of our neat, theoretical constructs into chaos once again.
