But no sooner do they turn up that I’m already telling myself that after all my disorder is only a very idiosyncratic sort of order.

To Greek philosophers the concepts of “world” and “order” were synonymous. To our contemporaries the world is more akin to chaos. Art has sought order in disorder, disorder in order, sometimes managing to find a balance between the two. By Angela Vettese, art reviewer and critic.
