"Gustavo Díaz: Confronting Silence" will feature 11 new drawings by gallery artist Gustavo Díaz, and will be accompanied by a curatorial text written by Nikki Moore, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow in the Global Arts at Wake Forest University.
Díaz presents his findings through intricate, abstract works on paper and installations that map the conceptual connections between disparate, yet related, theories. Through this intense artistic and academic journey, he has examined subjects such as the study of Chaos Theory, in particular issues related to Ilya Prigogine’s concept of Dissipative Structures, for which Prigogine was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1977, as well as Rene Thom’s Theory of Catastrophes, focusing on the rupture of linearity and the emergence of “the new” through discontinuity processes. Another subject that he approached in depth in order to study the behavior of complex systems is the concept of networks, in particular those of Rhizomatic origin. Díaz is interested in hyper- complex connectivity, especially in what relates to the Theory of Systems’ grammatical aspect, particularly grammars that are sensitive to their surroundings.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until April 23.
