About
Overview
Chaos is a juried exhibition at Bitfactory Gallery & Studios inviting Colorado artists to explore disorder, uncertainty, disruption, and possibility through original two-dimensional, wall-hanging artwork. The exhibition seeks varied perspectives on what happens when structures fracture, boundaries dissolve, and control becomes uncertain. There is no single definition of chaos—artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly through literal, emotional, psychological, social, symbolic, or abstract approaches.
