ELEMENT FLUX
"Element Flux" begins an investigation by Chicago area artists of the classic elements: earth, wind, fire and water. Artists are invited to create visual works of one or more of these elements and/or invented new elements, reference the real elements in the periodic table or expand on the concept of the classic fifth element: Ether.

Many philosophies have a set of classical elements believed to be the essential parts from which our physical and spiritual world are based. The classic four elements refer to ancient beliefs based on natural observation of the world around us and the components that make up that world or network. It is our earliest theory of chemical element study. The start of our science, our alchemy.

The program "Element Flux: is an artist's group study where science and philosophy fuse through collaboration in a visual forum. The installation is akin to a metaphorical periodic table. The exhibition will have an online archive to serve as a record of the participants' creative imagination.
