Fluid Dynamics- As Leonardo Saw Them



The Traveling Gallery of Fluid Motion presents its third exhibition, Fluid Motion: The Coexistence of Order and Chaos, on view October 9, 2025 through January 25, 2026, at two Houston venues: the Houston Museum of Natural Science and Nicole Longnecker Gallery.

Curated by Natalia Almonte and Nicole Economides of Paradoxluxe Collective and coordinated by Dr. Azar Panah, the exhibit explores how art and science meet in the study of flow. Inspired by the 1960s Fluxus movement, it invites visitors to see water, air, and motion as both physical forces and metaphors for cultural and social change.

By dividing the exhibition between two locations, the curators highlight the central question: How do ideas and experiences migrate between spaces? Works ranging from sculpture to photography reveal how order and chaos are not opposites, but interdependent.

Previous Traveling Gallery exhibits include Chaosmosis (National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC, 2023) and Spiraling Upwards (Leonardo Museum, Salt Lake City, UT, 2024).

Don’t miss out on this extraordinary experience, see you in Houston!
