This exhibition compiles works of art that reflect concepts of dynamic and open systems, while demonstrating the ability of spatial art forms to make physical such concepts. Bridging techniques and processes from multiple fields of art and design, the artwork consists of a wide variety of materials and forms, functioning as models of geometries, systems, and structures in flux and flow.

Capricious and Mercurial Systems will include works by Isidro Blasco, Diana Cooper, Ellen Driscoll, Kenji Fujita, Julia Klein, Tom Lauerman, William Niemeier, Margie Neuhaus and Scott Wolniak.
