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.
