Entropic (en-tro-pik)- Having a tendency to change from a state of order to a state of disorder

On Sunday, May 31, 1 pm, 701 CCA Prize 2014 winner, Shannon Rae Lindsey will present a gallery talk at 701 CCA on her exhibition, Entropic Perceptions, discussing her process and inspiration for the installation. 

In this exhibition, Lindsey uses the Center’s gallery to create a large-scale installation that responds to, and literally transforms, the traditional architecture of the space. Using man-made commercial construction materials, she has built pieces throughout the installation in such a way that they challenge our pre-conceived notions of beauty, function, and public space. The large forms, placed throughout the gallery, not only redefine their surrounding environment, but also speak to the radical change the artist has effected in the appearance of their materials. She has given the nondescript raw materials of the builder and architect a way to take on a mysterious life of their own. 

Lindsey (b. 1985) received her MFA from the University of South Carolina in Columbia and in 2008 earned a BFA from the University of South Florida. She teaches art as an adjunct professor at the University of South Carolina. Her work has been included in some 20 exhibitions in Florida and South Carolina. Lindsey is an interdisciplinary artist who explores drawing, painting, sculpture and installation with unconventional materials and processes.
