Butterfly Effect Reception & Curator's Talk
Jan 15 | THU | 5:00PM
Join us for the Butterfly Effect reception and curator’s talk in the Art Association Gallery on Thursday, January 15, 2026 at 5pm.
Butterfly Effect is an invitational exhibition curated by artist and gallerist David Klarén, who invited artists from across Wyoming to create new work inspired by the concept of the “butterfly effect.”
"The first time I heard about the Butterfly Effect, it went something like this: A butterfly flaps its wings in Peking, and New York has rain instead of sun. The theory is closely associated with mathematician and meteorologist Edward Norton Lorenz. He noted that the butterfly effect is derived from the example of the details of a tornado (the exact time of formation, the exact path taken) being influenced by minor perturbations such as a distant butterfly flapping its wings several weeks earlier," Klarén wrote.
Klarén encouraged participants to interpret this idea by stepping outside their normal mediums, approaches, and genres. The result is an exhibition that is both visually compelling and conceptually diverse, highlighting the many ways small actions and subtle shifts can ripple outward into profound change.
After its debut in Pinedale, November - December 2025, Butterfly Effect will travel to the Art Association Gallery for the month of January 2026.
