This exhibition presents artists working in a variety of media who employ specific systematic procedures, processes, and techniques to create art. Artists’ use of particular parameters within which to create art is often associated with conceptual art but can also be dictated by choice of material or particular mode of execution. The methodology artists use is not always by design and may even feel compulsory or necessary. The works in this exhibit explore this aspect of creativity.

Post-Impressionist French painter Georges Seurat is the subject of the Dept. of Theatre Arts’ spring production of Stephen Sondheim’s musical Sunday in the Park with George. This exhibition is presented in conjunction with the musical and will feature visual artists whose work, like Seurat’s, is primarily concerned with the interaction of color and the phenomenon of light. The exhibition title is derived from a song in Act I.
