Just in time for the Superbowl, we at Primary Colours are proud to present another wonderful show at the Primary Gallery.

Scienceology is an collaborative show  exhibiting the works of Jeff Geesa and Ryan Szeszycki.

What is Scienceology?
Through a representational approach to abstraction (thoroughly abstract concepts made visible) Scienceology explores the nature of understanding, of “knowledge”, and the attempt thereof.  Scienceology is the exploration of science and pseudo-science and is not Science proper.  It is a holistic, however fragmented and incomplete, picture created in equal parts by pieces of knowledge and unimaginably vast areas of ignorance, like particles clustering into the infinitely dense as space expands moving the clusters farther and farther apart. At a certain level of complexity understanding fails and we are left with simplicity, beauty. Occasionally Culture, Science, and the Brain get a fleeting glimpse of the true nature of things. Simple, beautiful.

Hours/Location

Opening reception is on February 3, 2012 (6-10pm) at The Primary Gallery located within the Murphy Arts Center, second floor, suite 217. Closing reception will occur on February 17, 2012 (6-9pm).
