Nicole Longnecker Gallery in Houston has announced an open call for the third edition of "Chaos Osmosis," an art and science exhibition centered on fluid dynamics. The project is a partnership between the gallery, the Gallery of Fluid Motion in Houston, and the Paradoxluxe curatorial collective, with locations in Greece and Puerto Rico. Selected participants will be featured in a dual exhibition at Nicole Longnecker Gallery and the Houston Museum of Natural Science, opening in October 2025. Houston-region artists and scientists from all disciplines are invited to submit works in any medium, including video, photography, painting, sculpture, installation, and mixed media. The submission deadline is July 30, 2025.
This open call matters because it fosters interdisciplinary collaboration between artists and scientists, using the aesthetic and conceptual framework of fluid dynamics to bridge two often separate fields. By partnering with a major natural science museum, the project elevates the visibility of art-science hybrids and encourages public engagement with complex scientific phenomena through creative expression. It also provides a platform for local Houston talent, reinforcing the city's growing reputation as a hub for innovative, cross-sector cultural initiatives.
