Description:
Building upon the 2017 Ballroom Marfa exhibition Strange Attractor organized by sound artist and curator Gryphon Rue, this book brings together an interdisciplinary group of artists and practitioners to investigate the chaos, connections and interpretations that narrate everyday experiences. Strange Attractor includes artworks from Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Thomas Ashcraft, Robert Buck, Alexander Calder, Beatrice Gibson, Phillipa Horan, Channa Horwitz, Lucky Dragons (Luke Fishbeck and Sara Rara), Mark Lombardi, Herbert Matter, Haroon Mirza, Elias Sime, and Douglas Ross, as well as conversations between tropical ecologist Merlin Sheldrake, novelist Chloe Aridjis, and economic sociologist, Juan Pablo Pardo-Guerra, as well as texts by media art historian, Douglas Kahn, and poet, Bernadette Mayer, among others.
