Order & Chaos

Opening of Order & Chaos

For many centuries now, art has been seen as a moment of order within the chaos of everyday life. Garage Rotterdam’s group exhibition, Order & Chaos, examines whether this ancient assumption still applies today.

To what extent are visual artists aware of the underlying logic during their creative process? If ‘something’ isn’t quite right, then why? Questions like this play a key part in the Order & Chaos group exhibition. How can you leave the ratio out of account, in order to create room for a different point of view

Jonas Ohlsson is one of the artists whose work is shown as part of Order & Chaos. During Brandstof (Fuel), the activity that is regularly programmed to offer additional content, he will perform an Electro Lecture using his other name of Blodfet & DJ Lonely. It will be a mixture of psychedelic and electronic music. To put it in his own words: “Sit-down comedy meets noise meets concrete poetry, in which opinions, sounds, beats, effects and drones are moving back and forth between various layers of our consciousness.”

4,50 euro

Garage Rotterdam gives young, talented artists the opportunity to present themselves during Klein Onderhoud. This time, the installation ‘Only the moment expresses the Obscene’ (Alleen het moment toont het Obscene) by Carlijn Voorneveld will be shown. Carlijn Voorneveld has been introduced by Gijs Assman, one of the artists who is participating in the current exhibition entitled Order & Chaos.

“Carlijn Voorneveld’s installation consists of photographs, performances and videos. Her work of art shows the mysteries, the magic and secrets of our existence and the bizarre appearances of life. By turning the upsetting theme into a cheerful, yet a somewhat painful slapstick-like shape, she makes a sharp and mesmerising statement which engages, entertains as well as upsets and shocks the viewer.”
Gijs Assman

Master Chef Laurence van Bergeijk will prepare a sumptuous, vegetarian three-course dinner. He is well-known for his cooking skills at Theaterfestival De Parade, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen and Tijger Eetclub.

Local and seasonal vegetables are the main ingredients for his dishes. The Gouden Ton, our wine merchant at Garage Rotterdam, will serve exquisite wines that have been carefully selected to accompany the food. Both before and after dinner you can enjoy the Order & Chaos exhibition.
