‘Patternicity' is an exhibition of painting, textiles and sculpture by a diverse group of contemporary artists whose works explore the nature of patterns. Depending on context patterns are categorised as decoration, as models and guides, as reliable and repetitive samples and traits, or as established modes of behaviour and beliefs. The title ‘Patternicity' refers to Michael Shermer’s observation of a tendency to perceive and seek for patterns in meaningless noise due to the way the human brain is wired. The artists in ‘Patternicity' break existing systems in order to establish new patterns. They are using pattern recognition techniques to disrupt familiarity and expand cultural space.
